EDR Pricing

When buyers compare managed EDR pricing to the cost of purchasing the technology, staffing, and operating a 24/7 SOC in-house, managed EDR is often more cost-effective and budget-friendly. The total cost of ownership (TCO) for Huntress Managed EDR can be much cheaper than an in-house team managing and using an EDR tool. Why? EDR tools require constant tuning to ensure they are optimized to detect the latest threats and attacker tradecraft. Monitoring for alerts generated by an EDR tool also requires expert resources. And attackers don’t work business hours, so 24/7 monitoring is a necessity. Finally, sophisticated threats can slip through defenses, so expert threat hunters looking through EDR data to dig into suspicious activity are also needed. The expertise and 24/7 coverage to manage and utilize an EDR tool in-house is an expensive proposition out of reach of most IT and security teams. 

The average time to onboard and deploy an EDR solution can take minutes, or it could take weeks to months, depending on your environment and its complexity. Huntress Managed EDR makes it as simple as possible and can be deployed in as little as 30 minutes. Log into the Huntress Platform, download the agent, and deploy via your preferred distribution tool using our pre-built deployment scripts. Once deployed, your endpoints are now covered 24/7 with our AI-assisted SOC and team of threat hunters. Try it for free. 

Huntress EDR begins monitoring endpoints as soon as the agent is installed and connected. From there, the Huntress SOC provides ongoing monitoring and investigation without requiring customers to tune detections or configure complex response workflows. 

No. The Huntress EDR price is all-inclusive. You get our tech, a team of world-renowned threat experts, a 24/7 AI-assisted SOC, and Support. There are no separate “support” or SOC add‑ons needed to make EDR fully managed. No confusing tiers, add-ons, or expensive bundles.

For many organizations, yes. Huntress Managed EDR provides monitoring, expert investigation, and response to threats without requiring customers to build and staff their own SOC. Teams still retain visibility and control, but the day-to-day detection and response work is handled by Huntress, leaving internal teams to focus on other high-value work. 

Yes. Huntress Managed EDR is simply priced per endpoint without add-ons or tiers, so it easily scales as your endpoints grow. It’s common to start at a small commit, deploy beyond that during onboarding projects, and then scale up. If you’d like a budgetary estimate for your environment, we’ll model endpoint counts, identities, and optional data sources and provide an all‑in view you can use for internal planning.

Buyers coming from AV‑only stacks typically assess Huntress as an uplift in coverage (managed EDR + SOC, incident response, and outcomes) vs. AV software alone; where there’s sensitivity to per‑endpoint cost, we help model the impact and value at your scale. Some teams also find Huntress is usually less expensive than large MDR/EDR bundles when you compare like‑for‑like managed tiers.

No. Huntress Managed EDR works on its own and does not require you to purchase paid Microsoft Defender or Entra SKUs. If you already use Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, Huntress can integrate with it to bring Defender alerts and telemetry into your Huntress experience. In that case, your environment must meet Microsoft’s Defender for Endpoint licensing and deployment requirements, because the Huntress integration only receives data after MDE is deployed.

Huntress can also help you get more value from Microsoft Defender Antivirus (the built-in AV on Windows which does not require additional Microsoft licensing) with our Managed Defender Antivirus included for free with Huntress Managed EDR.

Minimums may apply; talk to us if you’re under 50 endpoints. Our standard plan starts with a 50‑agent minimum commitment for Managed EDR. Ask our team to confirm eligibility and fit for your use case.

Huntress Managed EDR pricing is volume‑based. Volume-based pricing helps align pricing with the size of your environment and keeps costs predictable as you add more endpoints. It makes it easier to scale coverage without unexpected jumps in per-endpoint costs. Pricing is tied to your committed endpoint count, with lower per-endpoint rates available at higher volumes. As you move up to higher committed endpoint tiers, your per‑endpoint rate decreases.

Huntress completely manages our EDR solution. Our team of threat experts becomes your team of threat experts, making sure the latest hacker tradecraft is detected, and our 24/7 AI-assisted SOC gives you continuous threat monitoring, detection, and response.
