Pricing guide · MDR · Updated September 2026
MDR costs $6 to $22 per device per month in 2026. ITSecOps MDR is priced at $8 to $16 per device per month on Sophos, Microsoft Defender, SentinelOne or CrowdStrike, delivered by 24/7 SOC teams in India and Norway and quoted at partner price in writing within one business day. Huntress sits at the low end ($6 to $9), Sophos MDR and Blackpoint in the middle ($8 to $16), and fully managed CrowdStrike Falcon Complete at the top ($14 to $22). That buys a 24/7 SOC that detects, investigates and contains threats on your endpoints, and partner pricing usually lands 15 to 30 percent under list.

What is included at these prices?
24/7 monitoring by a human SOC, alert triage, threat hunting, and containment (isolating a machine, killing a process, disabling a compromised account). What varies by tier: full incident response and remediation, identity and Microsoft 365 monitoring, log retention, and breach warranties. Always confirm whether response is included or only notification, that single word changes the value entirely.
MDR vs SOC as a service: which do I need?
MDR covers endpoints and increasingly identity; a managed SOC ingests everything (firewalls, servers, SaaS, cloud) into a SIEM. MDR at $6 to $22 per device suits most SMBs; regulated companies needing log evidence for ISO 27001, SOC 2, NIS2 or CMMC usually add SOC monitoring at $8 to $16 per endpoint or a shared 24×7 SOC.
How do I avoid overpaying for MDR?
Get at least two quotes through a partner, not direct. Vendors discount heavily in the channel, renewals are where list-price creep happens, and bundling MDR with EDR licences you already own is often cheaper than a packaged tier. Send us any MDR quote and we tell you in writing within one business day whether it is above market.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Sophos MDR cost per device?
Sophos MDR Essentials lists at roughly $8 to $12 and MDR Complete at $10 to $16 per device per month, including Intercept X Advanced with XDR.
Is Huntress good enough for a small business?
For most SMBs under 250 endpoints, yes: 24/7 SOC, fast containment and strong identity protection at $6 to $9 per device. Larger or regulated estates tend to step up to Sophos, SentinelOne or CrowdStrike tiers.
Does MDR replace my antivirus?
Yes. MDR runs on a full EDR agent, so you retire the legacy antivirus rather than paying for both.
Is MDR required for cyber insurance?
Increasingly. Most 2026 cyber insurance questionnaires ask for EDR with 24/7 monitoring, and MDR is the cheapest way for an SMB to answer yes truthfully.
