Understanding IT services pricing helps you budget effectively and choose the right level of support for your business. This guide explains how managed IT pricing works in Central Florida and what factors affect your costs.

We use price ranges rather than fixed rates because every business environment is different. The numbers below reflect typical pricing for small and medium businesses with 10 to 100 users. Your actual costs depend on your specific requirements, which we determine through a consultation.

How Managed IT Pricing Works

Managed IT services are typically priced using one of three models:

Per-User Pricing
You pay a monthly fee for each employee who uses IT resources. This model works well when employees use multiple devices and need consistent support across all of them.

Per-Device Pricing
You pay based on the number of workstations, servers, and network devices under management. This model suits businesses with shared workstations or equipment that multiple employees use.

Hybrid Pricing
A combination approach that accounts for both users and infrastructure. Many businesses find this provides the most accurate reflection of their actual IT needs.

All three models focus on proactive management rather than break-fix support. With proactive IT, we monitor, maintain, and optimize your systems continuously to prevent problems before they disrupt your business.

What Affects Your IT Costs

Several factors determine where your business falls within these ranges:

Number of Users and Devices
More users and devices require more licenses, more monitoring, and more support capacity. However, per-unit costs often decrease as you scale.

Security and Compliance Requirements
Healthcare organizations need HIPAA compliance. Financial services require FTC Safeguards adherence. Legal firms need strong data protection. These requirements add security layers and documentation overhead.

Industry-Specific Needs
Some industries have specialized software, unique workflows, or regulatory requirements that affect support complexity. View our industry-specific solutions.

Remote vs On-Site Needs
Businesses with remote employees need different solutions than those with everyone in one office. Multi-location businesses have additional networking and coordination requirements.

Cloud vs On-Premises Infrastructure
Cloud-first environments have different cost structures than businesses running on-premises servers. Hybrid environments require expertise in both.

Current State of IT
Well-maintained environments cost less to manage than those with technical debt, outdated systems, or deferred maintenance.
