What MSP software actually costs,
dated and sourced

An RMM typically costs between $1 and $6 per device a month, and an all-in-one PSA and RMM priced per technician runs from about $129 to $249 a month, before add-ons and onboarding. Below are the published rates, the buyer-reported quotes, and an honest list of what nobody outside a sales call can know.

Compare them on your own numbers: the RMM cost calculator prices eleven RMMs for your technicians and devices.

Written with respect. We ran an MSP on several of the products we compare, we rate them, and without them Helios would not exist. These pages are here because buyers deserve the numbers, not because we want a fight.

Most vendors in this market sell through sales quotes, which means the one thing a buyer wants, the price, is the one thing not on the website. These pages collect what IS knowable: the numbers vendors publish, the numbers buyers report, and an honest list of what nobody outside a sales call can know. Every figure is dated, labelled and linked to its source.

Why we built Helios

We ran an MSP on the platforms on these pages. The price moved at every renewal, and the features we needed kept turning up one tier higher. So we built our own.

Helios has one published price list: a £4/device Launch tier for 5 to 25 devices, then flat per-MSP plans at £99, £199 and £399 a month by fleet size (50 / 250 / unlimited). Every feature is on every plan, with nothing held back for a higher tier. Your price is locked for as long as you stay subscribed, and it is in our terms. Pay monthly and cancel any time, or yearly for 20% off. The calculator on the pricing page does the comparison for your exact fleet.

The parts that rarely make a feature grid

Comparisons and price lists tend to stop at monitoring, patching and tickets. Helios has kept shipping, every feature lands on every plan, and this is the part that usually gets left out:

• Client billing that closes the loop. Recurring contracts (flat, per-device or per-seat), an included-hours retainer that nets against logged time, and the finished invoice pushed into Xero or QuickBooks or exported as CSV.
• The kit that will never take an agent. Nominate a machine already running the agent as a site relay and act on the switches, firewalls, NAS boxes and printers around it over SSH. A target only appears if that relay is what discovered it, every command waits for a human, and the password is fetched at the moment it runs and written to the audit trail.
• Network discovery that names things. Agents map each client's network and identify what they find by vendor and type, so new hardware on a client site is flagged the day it appears.
• Replacement dates without a spreadsheet. Machines report their own age from the BIOS date, so Helios can tell you what is due for replacement against a service-life policy you set, per client.
• Reporting built for the review, not the dashboard. A custom report builder, SLA reporting, Microsoft 365 licence-cost reporting, and a day-one baseline per client that stores the numbers, so a quarterly review can prove what actually moved.
• Everything is addressable. A published REST API, a credential vault with an audit trail, custom fields on clients and devices, and standing rules that limit what Helio may do on its own: block an action or require a human to approve it, scoped to one client, a device group, a device type or a single machine, and to a class of action or one named fix.
