Atera pricing in 2026: the matrix, the meters, and the crossover maths

By the Helios team · Last checked 22 August 2026

Atera costs $129, $159 or $209 per technician, meaning per person who uses it, a month on its Pro, Growth and Power MSP plans billed annually, or $139, $189 and $249 billed monthly, with unlimited endpoints per technician. What the rate card leaves out is the price of Robin, the autonomous AI agent, the add-ons that still bill per device, and the fleet shape at which per-technician pricing stops being the bargain it looks like.

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.

The short answer

Post-June-2026 MSP rate card: Pro $129, Growth $159, Power $209 per technician per month billed annually ($139/$189/$249 monthly); Superpower is quote-only (Reported across four independent sources, checked 22 August 2026).
IT-department plans: Professional $149, Expert $189, Master $219 annually ($169/$229/$269 monthly); Enterprise by quote.
The AI Copilot became free on every plan in the June 2026 repricing; it previously sold at $29 to $95 per technician per month.
Robin, the autonomous AI agent, has no published price: it is billed per end user per month, annual contract only, with quarterly true-ups, and is excluded from the trial.
Endpoints are unlimited per technician seat, but security, backup and network add-ons bill per device or per GB, so the invoice still scales with fleet size.
Crossover maths: at $3/device competitor pricing, Atera Growth wins above 53 devices per technician; even at $1/device it wins above 159 devices per technician.

How this page is put together. Numbers marked List were read from the vendor's own published pages on 22 August 2026. Numbers marked Reported come from third-party buyer data or public user reports, each linked, and should be treated as indicative rather than quoted rates. Where nothing public exists we say so. GBP figures use £0.733 per $1 (GBP/USD 1.3643, Bank of England reference rate, 21 August 2026). No vendor paid for placement and there are no affiliate links. One caveat specific to this page: atera.com blocks automated checking, so the matrix below is corroborated across four independent third-party trackers that agree with each other (latest dated 18 August 2026) rather than read directly off atera.com. Atera's own page remains the canonical source.

The 2026 rate card

Atera repriced in June 2026: monthly and new business moved on 1 June, annual plans on 28 July, and legacy annual customers renewing before that date kept their old price into 2027. One customer reports a monthly bill moving from $149.99 to $189.99 in that transition.

Tier differences that matter: Pro is Windows-only with two concurrent Splashtop sessions; Growth adds Mac and Linux, unlimited Splashtop and AnyDesk; Power adds custom reports and compliance tooling; Superpower bundles SSO and network discovery.

The AI: Copilot is now free, Robin is not (and has no price)

Robin: billing shape	Per end user per month, annual contract only, quarterly true-up against peak daily active users; excluded from the trialeesel, citing Atera support docs	Reported
Robin: the one number in the wild	A single Reddit report of $20 per user per month, unverified; we do not treat it as a price	Reported

The three meters on an "unlimited devices" invoice

Per-technician with unlimited endpoints is the headline, but the invoice has three meters: per technician (the seats), per end user (Work From Home at €5 a user, Robin), and per device (the add-ons below). Fleet growth still moves the bill.

Add-on	Reported price	Status
Antivirus (Bitdefender or Webroot)	$1.20/endpoint/montheesel	Reported
Antivirus (ESET or ThreatDown)	$1.25/device/montheesel	Reported
Domotz network monitoring	$1.50/device/montheesel	Reported
Acronis backup storage	$0.07/GBeesel	Reported
Network Discovery	€29 per technician per month, an add-on on every plan: discovery, SNMP monitoring, security scans and topology mapsatera.com, euro prices, checked 28 September 2026	List
Work From Home	€5 per end user per month, an add-on on every plan: end users reach their work machine from home, with no VPNatera.com, euro prices, checked 28 September 2026	List

The crossover: when per-technician beats per-device

Divide the per-technician price by a per-device rate and you get the fleet size per technician where the two models cost the same. Using Growth at $159 annual:

Against $3/device (small-fleet per-device territory): $159 ÷ $3 = 53 devices per technician. Above that, Atera is cheaper.
Against $1/device (large-fleet or budget per-device pricing): $159 ÷ $1 = 159 devices per technician.

A typical MSP technician manages 150 to 400 endpoints, so per-technician pricing usually wins on the base subscription. The catch is the per-device add-ons above: antivirus at $1.20 to $1.25 per endpoint scales with the fleet on both models, which erodes the headline advantage as fleets grow.

Terms worth diarising

30-day trial, no card, at the Expert or Professional tier; Robin, SSO and custom assets are excluded from it.
Annual plans auto-renew. Cancelling or reducing seats requires at least 60 days' notice before renewal, and there are no mid-term refunds.
No minimum seats: single-technician accounts are supported.

What we could not verify

Any number directly from atera.com itself (automated checks are blocked). The matrix is four independent trackers agreeing, which is strong but not the same thing.
Robin's actual dollar price, anywhere.
Superpower and Enterprise price levels. One tracker estimates "north of $300 per technician"; we treat that as a guess and leave it out.
Whether the now-free Copilot carries any fair-use cap. None is reported.

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.

Common questions

How much does Atera cost per technician in 2026?

MSP plans run $129 (Pro), $159 (Growth) and $209 (Power) per technician per month billed annually, or $139, $189 and $249 monthly, with Superpower quote-only (multi-source, checked 22 August 2026).

Are Atera's IT-department plans priced differently?

Yes: Professional is $149, Expert $189 and Master $219 per technician per month annually ($169, $229 and $269 monthly), with Enterprise by quote.

Is Atera's AI Copilot an extra cost?

No. Since Atera's June 2026 repricing the Copilot is included free on every plan; it previously sold as a $29 to $95 per technician per month add-on.

What does Robin, Atera's autonomous AI agent, cost?

Atera publishes no price for Robin: it is a paid add-on billed per end user per month on an annual-only contract with quarterly true-ups, and it is excluded from the free trial.

Are Atera's endpoints really unlimited?

Technician seats cover unlimited endpoints, but antivirus, backup and network add-ons bill per device or per GB ($1.20 to $1.50 per device, $0.07 per GB), so total cost still scales with fleet size.
