How Our Pricing Works
Three phases from first conversation to ongoing support. No long-form sales process.
01
Assess
We audit your current IT environment, user count, and support needs to recommend the right plan. Honest, plain-English, no obligation. We tell you what you don’t need.
02
Onboard
We deploy monitoring agents, configure your systems, document your environment, and introduce your team to our helpdesk. Fixed price, fixed timeline.
03
Support
Ongoing monthly support with proactive monitoring, helpdesk access, and regular reviews. Fixed monthly fee per user — no hourly surprises.
Our Service Plans
Three tiers designed around how Australian SMEs actually use IT. All plans per user per month, Australian-based support, minimum 5 users. Talk to us for specific pricing — we’ll work it out for your team in minutes.
Why Per-User Pricing
Hourly billing punishes you for needing support. Block-of-hours plans punish you for not using them. Per-user managed IT is the model that aligns our incentives with yours — we make money when your IT is healthy and your team is productive, not when your team has problems we can bill for.
Per-user pricing also scales cleanly. Add staff, the cost moves predictably with headcount. Lose staff (or restructure), it drops with them. No surprise true-ups, no over-provisioned licence pools.
Service Level Commitments
Every plan has clear, measurable SLAs. We commit to specific response and resolution times by severity level, written into your service agreement.
Critical — production-down events. 1-hour response on Enterprise. High — significant impact, workarounds exist. Medium — minor issues, scheduled resolution. Low — feature requests and changes. We measure SLA performance monthly and report it back to you — when we miss, we own it.
No Lock-In Contracts
We offer month-to-month agreements because we believe you should stay with us because we deliver value, not because you’re locked in. All plans have a 30-day notice period.
If you ever decide to leave, we’ll help with transition — provide documentation, hand over credentials, brief your new provider. That’s not a remarkable policy. It’s the bare minimum any IT provider should offer. We mention it because most don’t.
What’s Included Across All Plans
- Australian-based support — engineers in Melbourne, not offshore helpdesks.
- Proactive monitoring — every plan includes 24/7 system monitoring at a minimum.
- Documented environments — your IT environment fully documented, accessible to you, portable if you leave.
- Monthly reporting — what we did, what we caught, what we’d improve. Plain English.
- Free assessments — IT health checks before quotes. We’d rather lose a deal than mis-scope one.
- 30-day notice — month-to-month terms across all plans.
How to Get Started
The first step is an honest conversation. Get in touch and we’ll set up a 30-minute discovery call — no slide deck, no fake-urgent quote deadlines. We’ll listen to what you’re trying to fix, give a rough sense of where you’d sit on plans, and tell you if we think we’re the wrong fit for your needs.
If we are the right fit, we’ll do a proper IT health check (free, no obligation) and come back with a recommendation. From first conversation to first month of managed IT support, most clients take 2-3 weeks.
