Managed IT support in the United States costs $15 to $45 per user per month when it is delivered remote-first, for unlimited helpdesk, patching and Microsoft 365 administration, against $100 to $400 per user per month from MSPs that bundle onsite time. ITSecOps supports US companies with 10 to 500 employees across all US time zones, adds 24×7 security monitoring from $8 per endpoint, and returns a written USD quote in one business day.
What does IT support cost per user in the US?
| Model | Typical 2026 price | Fits |
|---|---|---|
| Per user, unlimited remote support | $15 to $45 per user per month | 10 to 500 staff who want a predictable bill |
| Per device | $5 to $15 per device per month | Clinics, retail and shared devices |
| Dedicated remote technician | $1,800 to $3,500 per month | A named engineer without a local hire |
| After-hours helpdesk add-on | $25 to $45 per user per month | Shift workers, multiple time zones, executives who travel |
| 24×7 SOC monitoring add-on | $8 to $16 per endpoint per month | Cyber insurance, CMMC, HIPAA and customer security questionnaires |
| Hourly, pay as you go | $60 to $150 per hour | Under 10 staff with occasional needs |
Why the remote-first price is so much lower
A local MSP prices in truck rolls, a downtown office and US salaries for every tier of support. Remote-first delivery uses the same RMM, Intune and PSA stack from our delivery hubs, which is what makes $15 to $30 per user possible for the core service. The quality difference comes from process, with documented runbooks, named escalation engineers and measured response times, and the time difference works for you: tickets raised at the end of your day are worked overnight.
Security is part of IT support now
The Sophos Active Adversary Report 2026 found that in 88 percent of ransomware cases the encryption started outside business hours. In September 2026 alone, Springfield Public Schools had systems encrypted and Everett City Hall closed its building to the public after a network attack. An IT support contract that stops at 17:00 leaves the hours attackers prefer uncovered. That is why the managed service can include 24×7 managed SOC monitoring, EDR at partner pricing and tested backup in the same monthly bill.
What is included
Unlimited remote helpdesk by phone, chat and ticket; patching and device management; Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace administration; onboarding and offboarding of staff; a security baseline with MFA and endpoint protection; monthly reporting. Laptops for new hires ship pre-enrolled through laptop provisioning with MDM. Licences for Microsoft 365, security and backup are supplied at partner pricing, which is usually cheaper than buying direct.

Frequently asked questions
How much do managed IT services cost per user in the United States?
Remote-first managed IT support costs $15 to $45 per user per month for unlimited helpdesk, patching and Microsoft 365 administration. US MSPs that include onsite time typically quote $100 to $400 per user per month depending on security and compliance scope.
What does a 50-person company pay?
$750 to $2,250 per month in total at $15 to $45 per user. A quote far below that usually leaves out patching, after-hours cover or security.
Do you cover US time zones and federal holidays?
Yes. Support is staffed to US business hours from Eastern to Pacific, and 24×7 or after-hours cover runs nights, weekends and federal holidays. See after-hours IT support and on-call engineer.
What happens when something needs hands on site?
For teams on laptops and cloud apps, remote support resolves about 95 percent of tickets. Hardware faults are handled by courier swap of a pre-enrolled device, and companies with servers or complex sites keep a local partner for scheduled visits.
Can you work in our existing tools?
Yes. We work in your RMM, PSA and Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace tenant, or provide the full stack if you have none.
Is there a minimum?
Ten users for per-user plans. Below that, hourly or per-device support is usually cheaper for you, and we will say so.
