Understanding the hidden costs in managed service provider pricing

Understanding managed IT service pricing models is crucial for budget-conscious businesses. While many MSPs claim to offer predictable pricing, hidden costs often arise.

This blog examines two primary pricing approaches:

Unpredictable models - Including per-user, per-device, and tiered bundles with exceptions triggering extra charges
Fixed-fee unlimited consumption - Offering predictable monthly costs regardless of usage

The right model depends on your risk tolerance:

Companies comfortable with financial risk may accept variable pricing
Organizations needing budget stability benefit from predictable models

Learn about key questions to ask MSPs in this informative blog.
