Datto RMM is reported to cost around $2.99 per endpoint a month as a base rate, with $2.50 to $4.50 the usual range once volume and term are applied. Datto publishes no price list, so every figure here is reported rather than stated by the vendor. The number that matters more is the term you sign, and a billing model that changed in mid-2026 in a way that helps anyone whose fleet goes up and down.
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
- No published price list. Every quote goes through Kaseya sales (Not published, checked 9 September 2026).
- Reported around $2.99 per endpoint per month as a base rate, with $2.50 to $4.50 the range once volume and term are applied (Reported).
- Three tiers are described by resellers as Essentials, Premium and Ultimate. The feature split between them is not published.
- Month-to-month, one-year and three-year terms exist. Kaseya paper commonly defaults to three years with an auto-renewal window that is easy to miss (Reported).
- Mid-2026 Datto moved off high-watermark billing to a committed minimum plus consumption above it (Reported). Under the old model you paid for the peak device count in a period even after removing the devices.
- Quotes reportedly drop sharply when Autotask PSA, IT Glue and Datto BDR are taken together, so a standalone RMM price is the worst case.
- For comparison, Helios publishes its whole price list: £4 a device a month for 5 to 25 devices, then a flat £99, £199 or £399 a month for up to 50, 250 or unlimited devices. Billed monthly, cancel any time, 14-day trial with no card to start.

What Datto itself publishes
Nothing. There is no price list, no anchor range and no self-serve checkout, which is a deliberate choice rather than an oversight: Datto RMM is sold through Kaseya's sales organisation and priced per deal.

The billing change is the good news, and it is real
Datto RMM used to bill on a high-watermark basis: your invoice followed the peak device count in the period, so offboarding a client did not reduce the bill until the next reset. Reporting through 2026 says that moved to a committed minimum with consumption billed above it. If your fleet is seasonal, or you have lost a client and kept paying for their machines, that is a material improvement and it is worth asking a rep to confirm in writing which model your paper is on, because an existing contract does not necessarily move by itself.
The number to negotiate is the term, not the rate
Per-endpoint rates in this market are within pennies of each other once volume is applied. What differs is what happens when you want to leave. A three-year auto-renewing agreement with a narrow notice window is the single most complained about thing about buying from this vendor group, and it is also the most negotiable: ask for a one-year term, ask for the notice period in writing, and diarise the notice date the day you sign rather than the month you want to go.
Bundling changes the maths
Datto RMM sits in a suite with Autotask PSA, IT Glue and Datto BDR. Resellers consistently report that quotes fall when several are taken together. If you are genuinely consolidating that is a real saving. If you are buying products you did not want in order to make the one you did want affordable, it is not, and the exit gets harder with every product you add to the paper.
What we could not verify
- Any vendor-published figure at all. Every price on this page is third-party reported, and we have labelled all of them accordingly.
- What separates Essentials, Premium and Ultimate. Reseller pages name the tiers but not the feature split.
- Whether servers and network devices bill at the same per-endpoint rate as workstations.
- Whether existing high-watermark contracts were migrated to the committed-minimum model automatically or only at renewal.
- The size of the bundle discount. It is consistently described as significant and never quantified.
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:
- Cyber Essentials readiness, with the fixes. Every Windows machine is checked each day against the Cyber Essentials technical controls (v3.3, April 2026), 13 checks a machine. Nine of them have a fix in Helios: one press for the firewall, incoming connections, the Guest account, auto-run, lockout, overdue updates and Microsoft Defender, and a yes first before it disables unused accounts or turns off automatic sign-in. Each client gets a readiness report under your name. It is a readiness check: only a Certification Body awards the certificate. How it works
- 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 Datto RMM cost in 2026?
There is no published price. Third-party reporting puts the base rate at around $2.99 per endpoint per month, with $2.50 to $4.50 the range once volume and contract length are applied (Reported, checked 9 September 2026).
Does Datto RMM publish its pricing?
No. Every quote goes through Kaseya sales and is priced per deal, which is why every figure on this page is labelled Reported rather than List.
Is Datto RMM a three-year contract?
Month-to-month, one-year and three-year terms all exist, but three years with auto-renewal is commonly described as the default on Kaseya paper. Ask for the term and the notice period in writing, and diarise the notice date the day you sign.
Did Datto RMM stop high-watermark billing?
Reporting through 2026 says it moved to a committed minimum plus consumption above it, so removing devices should reduce the bill rather than leaving you on the peak count. Ask a rep to confirm which model your own contract is on, as an existing agreement may not move by itself.
How does Datto RMM compare with Helios?
This page is the price teardown and stays out of that argument. The honest side by side, including where Datto RMM is the better pick, is on Helios vs Datto RMM.
