$129 to $209 per technician per month on the provider list, billed annually, and $149 to $219 for the same platform on the list aimed at IT departments. Every plan includes unlimited endpoints, so the estate is free and the headcount is the bill.
Network Discovery is $29 per technician per month on top, and Work from Home is $5 per end user, which is a third billing unit on the same invoice. The top tier of each list is by quote.
- Provider list: $129 Pro, $159 Growth, $209 Power, per technician, annual
- IT department list: $149, $189, $219 for the same platform
- Included: unlimited endpoints on every tier
- Extra: Network Discovery $29 per technician, Work from Home $5 per end user
- Trial: 30 days, no credit card, on the Expert plan

Atera pricing is published, in full, for every tier but the top one. The complication is that it is published twice. The list at atera.com/msp-pricing runs Pro at $129, Growth at $159 and Power at $209 per technician per month billed annually.
The list at atera.com/pricing, headed at IT departments, runs Professional at $149, Expert at $189 and Master at $219 for what is recognizably the same platform. Both were read on September 10, 2026.
Line the two up and the pattern is the same at every step: the list aimed at internal IT costs more per technician than the list aimed at providers. $149 against $129, $189 against $159, $219 against $209. Nothing on either page explains the difference, and nothing stops a buyer reading whichever one they find first.
The other thing to understand before any number means anything is the unit. Atera bills the technician and leaves the endpoint count open. Every plan on both lists says unlimited endpoints, so the device estate is free and the headcount is the whole bill.
That inverts the arithmetic of a per endpoint product, and it is the reason a small team looking after a large estate is the shape this suits.
The billWhat moves the number, and what is not on it
What one bill actually looks like
Three technicians on Growth, billed annually, is $159 each per month, $5,724 a year. That figure does not move when the estate does, which is the point. Read down the third column rather than the second.
| Estate | The bill | Works out at | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 devices | $5,724 / yr | $9.54 per device / mo | The unit is the technician, so this is the worst case |
| 200 devices | $5,724 / yr | $2.39 per device / mo | Same bill, more devices |
| 1,000 devices | $5,724 / yr | $0.48 per device / mo | Same bill, more devices |
| 5,000 devices | $5,724 / yr | $0.10 per device / mo | Same bill, more devices |
Adding a technician adds $1,908 a year whatever the estate looks like. Adding a thousand devices adds nothing. Those two sentences are the whole pricing model, and they are why the question to ask before quoting Atera is how many people will hold a license, not how many machines they look after.
There is a crossover worth knowing. The only per endpoint rate published anywhere on this site is the NinjaOne top of range, $3.75 per endpoint per month at 50 endpoints or fewer. Three Atera technicians on Growth cost less than that rate above roughly 128 devices.
Below it the per endpoint product is cheaper and above it the per technician one is. They are still not the same purchase. Atera puts the PSA inside the plan price, while NinjaOne sells a PSA as a separate product with no published price, so the comparison is one bill against two.
The units on one invoice
The base plan is one unit. The add-ons are two more. Network Discovery, which is the network half of the job, is $29 per technician per month on top of any plan. Work from Home is $5 per end user per month, which is a unit that has nothing to do with technicians at all.
Then the marketplace: security, backup and MDM products resold through Atera and priced per device, per user, per endpoint, per license and, in one case, per gigabyte. A fully loaded Atera invoice can carry five different billing units, and only the first of them is per technician.
Atera plans, and what each tier adds
The Atera price per technician is the whole bill on both lists, so the tier is what decides where those technicians can work. The two lists run the same ladder under different names: an entry tier, a most popular middle, a compliance tier and a quote tier.
The plan cards were read again on September 23, 2026, this time for what the tiers contain rather than what they cost.
| Step | Provider list, and who Atera says it is for | IT department list, and who Atera says it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Entry | Pro, for IT professionals overseeing client IT infrastructure | Professional, for teams that need to manage corporate devices and networks |
| Middle, marked most popular | Growth, for MSPs seeking flexibility, dual remote monitoring tools and asset management | Expert, for expanding teams that need flexibility, dual remote monitoring and automations |
| Compliance and reporting | Power, for mid-size MSPs that need compliance, insights and custom reports | Master, for established teams needing greater compliance and more insights |
| By quote | Superpower, for large MSPs that need enterprise grade services | Enterprise, for departments requiring high touch and enterprise level services and integrations |
Both lists sell the same remote monitoring and management platform, with the RMM, the helpdesk and patch management on one database, and the tier sets the depth. Each card lists what the step above adds rather than repeating the product: the magnitude of Pro plus, the power of Growth plus, the vastness of Power plus.
Most of those added features are headroom on a limit rather than a new module. The middle tier lifts Splashtop from two concurrent sessions to unlimited, adds AnyDesk remote access, eleven preset reports and custom asset types, and takes audit log retention from one month to six.
The compliance tier takes retention to twelve months and adds custom reports and data recovery. Neither step adds automation: the IT automations line sits on the all plans include strip, so it is in the entry tier of both lists.
Both entry cards include the RMM core: remote monitoring and alerts, remote management, patch management and software management through WinGet, Chocolatey or Homebrew. The provider entry card also lists contracts and invoicing, SLA and automated time tracking, a help desk and API access, which is the PSA half inside the plan price.
The gap the two price tags hide: Mac and Linux
Set the two all plans include strips side by side and one feature line differs. The provider list says Windows support. The IT department list says Windows, Mac, and Linux support. On the provider list, Mac and Linux arrive one tier up, listed on the Growth card as including Mac and Linux devices alongside Windows.
That reframes the entry gap between the two lists. The cheaper entry tier is the Windows only one. A provider with Macs in any client estate is comparing the middle provider tier against the entry IT tier, not the two entry tiers, and that is a different sum.
It also produces the odd case where an internal IT team is better off on the dearer list, and the same trap catches MSPs reading the wrong page. If the estate is mixed, the cheaper entry tier does not cover it. Compare what each tier lists, not the two headline numbers.
The quote tiers, and what the top step adds
Both lists end in a tier with no number: Superpower, for large MSPs that need enterprise grade services, and Enterprise, for departments requiring high touch and enterprise level services and integrations. Each replaces the figure with a contact sales button, and the IT card offers custom plans tailored to organizational needs.
What the top step adds is the same on both lists, and it is compliance and identity rather than more monitoring: single sign on, continuous Azure AD sync, a private software repository, custom domain SSL for the service portal, unlimited custom reports, seven year audit log retention and a Business Associate Agreement under HIPAA.
One line in that list changes the add-on arithmetic. Network Discovery, the $29 per technician add-on, is included in the top tier of both lists. So it is a real cost for every tier below the quote tier and free at the top, which is worth raising before a quote is written.
The IT department card also lists a 99.9 percent uptime SLA, marked with an asterisk. The provider card does not list one. The platform underneath the two lists is the same, so that is a fair question to put to a salesperson holding the provider list.
CompareHow it sits against the alternatives
Who this pricing suits
A small team looking after a lot of machines. This is the shape the model is built for. Two or three technicians and a four figure device count produces a per device cost that no per endpoint product can match.
An estate that is growing faster than the team. The bill is flat against device growth, so the budget conversation happens when you hire rather than when a client signs.
Somebody who wants one vendor and one console. The RMM and the ticketing are one product on one database, so the price includes both halves and there is no second contract.
Who it does not
A large team with a small estate. Eight technicians looking after 200 machines is $15,264 a year on Growth, which is the model working against you.
Anyone who needs the network half. Network Discovery is an add-on, so SNMP monitoring and topology mapping cost $29 per technician per month more than the headline. Price it in from the start.
Anyone buying on the strength of a comparison table. Check which of the two lists you were quoted from. The difference between them is $20 to $30 per technician per month, which is $240 a year on a single seat and more than the price of the network add-on.
Support, and one add-on that is not one
Support sits on the included strip of both lists as 24/7 chat support, on every tier. The response time language lives at the top: the provider card describes enterprise grade services that accelerate response time, and the IT card is the one carrying the uptime SLA.
AI copilot is on that same included strip on both lists, and the entry cards describe it as included in your plan. If a comparison article quotes a separate monthly figure for it per technician, check that against the card before you put it in a budget.
ScoreHow it scores on the rubric
ChangelogWhat changed in this update
- First published, from both price lists read in a browser at atera.com/msp-pricing and atera.com/pricing on September 10, 2026, in US dollars. This supersedes the note carried on five pages of this site that the figures could not be read: they render in the browser rather than in the served HTML, which is not the same thing as unpublished.
- Added the tier by tier reading of both plan ladders, the Mac and Linux difference between the two included strips, what the quote only top tiers add, and the support and AI copilot lines. Plan cards read in a browser at atera.com/msp-pricing and atera.com/pricing on September 23, 2026. Corrected the NinjaOne comparison: NinjaOne now sells a PSA of its own, published without a price. No Atera price changed.
FAQFrequently asked questions
How much does Atera cost?
On the list aimed at providers, $129 per technician per month for Pro, $159 for Growth and $209 for Power, billed annually, with the top Superpower tier by quote. Without the annual commitment those become $139, $189 and $249. Every plan includes unlimited endpoints, so the figure is per person rather than per machine.
Why are there two different Atera prices?
Because there are two pricing pages. atera.com/msp-pricing lists Pro, Growth and Power for providers; atera.com/pricing lists Professional, Expert and Master for IT departments. The tiers line up, the names do not, and the IT department list is dearer at every comparable step: $149 against $129, $189 against $159, $219 against $209.
Does Atera charge per device?
No, and that is the whole model. Every plan on both lists states unlimited endpoints, and the charge is per technician per month. Adding machines costs nothing; adding people costs a full license. It is the inverse of how most remote monitoring products are sold.
What does Atera cost per device?
Whatever you divide it into. Three technicians on Growth is $5,724 a year, which is $9.54 per device per month across 50 machines and $0.48 across a thousand. The number falls as the estate grows because the bill does not move.
Is the annual price worth committing to?
On the provider list the annual rate saves $120 a year on Pro, $360 on Growth and $480 on Power, per technician. Atera states that monthly plans can be cancelled at any time and annual plans at the end of the subscription period, so the saving is paid for with the term rather than with a penalty.
What is not included in the Atera plan price?
Two add-ons and a marketplace. Network Discovery, which covers SNMP monitoring and topology mapping, is $29 per technician per month. Work from Home is $5 per end user per month. The marketplace resells security, backup and MDM products priced per device, per user, per endpoint, per license or per gigabyte, starting from $0.07 per gigabyte for backup and $1.10 per endpoint for anti-malware.
Does Atera have a free trial?
Thirty days, with no credit card required. Atera states that the trial gives full access to the Expert plan, which is the middle tier of the IT department list rather than of the provider list.
Are there setup fees?
Atera states there are no hidden fees and that what appears in the pricing plans is what you pay, with optional add-ons and third party integrations priced separately in its App Center.
Why does Atera show prices in euros sometimes?
The currency follows the reader location and there is no switcher on either pricing page. The figures on this page are the US dollar ones. The numerals are the same in both currencies, so a euro price is not a converted dollar price and the two are not interchangeable when you are comparing quotes.
Is Atera cheaper than a per endpoint product?
Above a certain estate size, yes, and the crossover is arithmetic rather than opinion. Against the highest published per endpoint rate on this site, $3.75 per endpoint per month, three Atera technicians on Growth cost less above roughly 128 devices. Below that the per endpoint product wins on price, and the comparison is not like for like because Atera includes ticketing.
What is the Atera price per technician?
Every tier on both lists is priced per technician per month with unlimited endpoints. On the provider list that runs $129 to $209 billed annually, and on the IT department list $149 to $219. The top tier of each list is by quote rather than published.
What are the Atera plans?
Four on each list. Providers get Pro, Growth, Power and Superpower. IT departments get Professional, Expert, Master and Enterprise. The steps line up: an entry tier, a most popular middle tier, a compliance and reporting tier, then an enterprise tier priced by quote.
Does the cheapest Atera plan cover Macs?
Not on the provider list. Its included strip says Windows support, and Mac and Linux appear one tier up on the Growth card. The IT department list carries Windows, Mac and Linux on every tier, which is part of what the dearer entry price buys.
What does the top Atera tier add?
Single sign on, continuous Azure AD sync, a private software repository, custom domain SSL for the service portal, unlimited custom reports, seven year audit log retention, a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, and Network Discovery, which is a paid add-on on every tier below it.
Is the AI copilot an extra on Atera?
Not according to either pricing page. AI copilot sits on the included strip of both lists, and the entry tier cards describe it as included in your plan. If you are quoted a separate per technician figure for it, ask which card that came from.
Does the Atera price include a PSA?
On the provider list it does. The Pro card lists contracts and invoicing, SLA and automated time tracking and a help desk inside the plan price. NinjaOne sells a PSA of its own as a separate product with no published price, so that comparison is one bill against two.
