Why pricing varies
Some businesses only need a reliable technology contact and basic support. Others need ongoing remote support, monitoring, backups, cybersecurity, employee onboarding, device support, and planning.
Common pricing models
Managed IT can be priced per user, per device, as a flat monthly fee, or as a hybrid. Guardian is being built around a hybrid approach so small businesses can start simple and scale up.
What the $59 starting point should mean
The $59/month starting point should be an entry-level plan, not a promise of unlimited full managed IT. It can work as a starter relationship for basic support access and technology guidance.
When a custom quote makes sense
A business with multiple employees, devices, email accounts, remote workers, backups, and security concerns should be quoted based on its actual setup.
