Vendor briefing / Huntress
Huntress pricing / 2026
The go-to managed EDR for small business and MSPs. Real partner pricing, retail pricing, 50-seat minimum, and a frank look at where Huntress wins versus Arctic Wolf and Sophos for SMBs.
How much does Huntress cost?
Huntress costs $2.50 to $3.50 per endpoint per month at MSP partner rates, the price most small businesses see on their MSP invoice, or roughly $8.99 per endpoint per month buying direct. There is a 50-agent minimum commitment on a 12-month standard term, billed monthly in arrears.
| Endpoints | Via MSP partner / mo | Direct retail / mo |
|---|---|---|
| 50 (the minimum) | $125-175 | ~$450 |
| 100 | $250-350 | ~$899 |
| 250 | $625-875 | ~$2,248 |
| 500 | $1,250-1,750 | ~$4,495 |
Huntress does publish list prices, unusually for this market: its official pricing page carries per-unit rates for every product (checked 7 September 2026). Direct retail is $8.99 per endpoint per month at the 50-unit entry tier and $7.99 at 100 units, with the per-unit rate falling further as volume rises. The MSP partner figures above are channel-reported rates before MSP markup and are not published by Huntress. The 50-seat minimum per product is confirmed on the Huntress pricing page for direct and reseller purchases; MSPs have no Huntress-required minimum.

Quick facts
Pricing structure
MSP vs direct retail pricing
| Channel | Per endpoint / mo | When this applies |
|---|---|---|
| MSP partner | $2.50-3.50 | You buy through an authorised Huntress MSP partner. They mark up to suit their managed service contract. |
| Direct retail | ~$8.99 | Buying directly from Huntress without a partner. Common for organisations with internal IT teams. |
| Volume direct | ~$5-7 | Direct customers above 500 seats can negotiate down toward partner-style pricing. |
Most small businesses encounter Huntress as a line item on their MSP's monthly invoice rather than as a direct contract. The MSP typically prices $5-10 per endpoint per month inclusive of their wrap-around managed service, which is still cheaper than the cheapest enterprise MDR alternatives.
What's included
The Huntress platform in detail
Huntress is a multi-product platform built around managed EDR. The full stack at the base price typically includes:
Managed EDR
Lightweight agent on every endpoint, 24/7 SOC monitoring, threat hunting on persistence and lateral movement signals. The SOC isolates infected hosts for fast-spreading threats, and Managed Response lets you pre-approve automatic remediation actions. The flagship product.
Identity Threat Detection (ITDR)
Microsoft 365 identity monitoring. Detects compromised accounts, unauthorized access, and rogue inbox rules. Critical for SMBs given email is the dominant attack vector.
Security Awareness Training
Phishing simulation and training content for end users. Replaces a separate KnowBe4 or Hoxhunt subscription for many SMBs.
Managed SIEM
Log ingestion and analyst-led detection on top. Optional add-on at extra cost; common for compliance-driven buyers.
The bundling is meaningful because most enterprise MDR providers force you to buy these capabilities separately. For an SMB at 100 endpoints, Huntress at $300-900 per month replaces what would be $2,000-3,000 in unbundled enterprise security tooling.
Per-product list pricing
Huntress ITDR, SIEM, SAT and EDR pricing per unit
Unusually for the MDR market, Huntress publishes transparent per-product list prices directly on its pricing page. Each product is licensed and billed on its own unit, so an SMB can buy Managed EDR alone or layer identity, SIEM and training on top. The rates below are Huntress's published direct list prices at the entry 50-99 unit tier; larger volumes step down through tiered discounts, and Managed EDR bought through an MSP partner lands well under the retail endpoint rate.
| Product | List price / month | Billed per | Minimum |
|---|---|---|---|
| Managed EDR | $8.99 | endpoint | 50 (MSP partner rate $2.50-3.50) |
| Managed ITDR | $4.80 | licensed identity | 50 |
| Managed SIEM | $4.00 | data source | 50 |
| Managed ISPM | $4.00 | licensed identity | 50 |
| Security Awareness Training | $2.08 | learner | 50 |
There is no standalone Managed SOC line item: the Huntress SOC is bundled into every product, so "Huntress SOC pricing" is really the price of whichever product you buy. All products share the 50-unit minimum, a 12-month standard term, monthly billing in arrears on deployed usage, and no setup or onboarding fees (checked July 2026 against the Huntress pricing page).
Worked example
Setup fees, minimums and small estates
Are there setup or onboarding fees with Huntress, and is it worth it under 100 endpoints?
No, there are no setup or onboarding fees. The Huntress pricing page states plainly that there are no separate setup or onboarding fees, and that an IT admin with the right global permissions can usually deploy the whole platform in under an hour. That is a published commitment rather than a buyer estimate, and it is worth checking against any competing quote, because the enterprise MDR services Huntress competes with are quoted individually and set their onboarding terms inside the quote.
| Question buyers ask | What the Huntress pricing page states |
|---|---|
| Setup or onboarding fee? | None. No separate setup or onboarding fees on any product. |
| Minimum seat count? | 50 seats per product when buying direct or through a reseller. MSPs have no Huntress-required minimum. |
| Contract term? | Standard term is 12 months. Direct customers choose monthly billing on deployed usage, or an annual payment for the committed minimum with monthly billing for overages. |
| Is identity coverage included? | No. Managed ITDR is a separately licensed product at $3.60 per licensed identity per month at 100 units ($4.80 at the 50-unit tier), on top of the endpoint price. |
Under 100 endpoints, the 50-seat minimum is the constraint that matters most. Below 50 endpoints you still pay for 50, so the effective per-endpoint cost rises: a 30-endpoint business pays the 50-seat line either way. Between 50 and 99 endpoints you sit at the $8.99 entry rate rather than the $7.99 rate that starts at 100. On price alone at 100 endpoints, published Huntress Managed EDR at $7.99 per endpoint per month is level with CrowdStrike Falcon Go at $7.99 per device per month, and Falcon Go is itself capped at 100 devices. The difference is what you get for it: Falcon Go is self-service endpoint protection, while the Huntress price includes 24/7 SOC monitoring at no extra charge.
Between 100 and 250 endpoints, nothing in the published terms works against you. The per-unit rate falls as volume rises, the 50-seat minimum is long since met, the term stays at 12 months, and there is still no onboarding fee. The competing mid-market services at this size (Arctic Wolf, Sophos MDR) publish no rate at all, so a like-for-like comparison at 250 endpoints means getting both quotes and comparing them against a Huntress number you can read in advance.

What's not included
Where Huntress stops
Honest gaps to know about before you sign:
- Cloud workload monitoring. AWS, Azure, GCP coverage is not in the base service. Arctic Wolf, CrowdStrike, and Sophos all include this.
- Full forensic incident response. Initial triage is included; deep forensics requires a separate IR engagement (Huntress can refer to partners).
- Hard contractual SLA. Same-day response is the operating norm but not a financially backed SLA like Arctic Wolf's 4-hour or Falcon Complete's 1-hour.
- Compliance evidence packages beyond standard reporting. SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI specific deliverables may require manual report assembly.
Comparison
Huntress vs Arctic Wolf for the same SMB
The clearest way to see Huntress's positioning is to price the same scenario against Arctic Wolf, the dominant Concierge Security Team competitor in the SMB-mid range.
| Scenario | Huntress | Arctic Wolf |
|---|---|---|
| 100 endpoints | $3.6K-10.8K/yr | $44K (entry) |
| 250 endpoints | $9K-27K/yr | $36K-54K/yr |
| 500 endpoints | $18K-54K/yr | $72K-108K/yr |
| Named analyst team | No | Yes (CST) |
| Cloud workload coverage | Add-on | Included |
The decision
MSP economics
Why your MSP probably resells Huntress
From the MSP perspective the economics are compelling. A Huntress partner buying at $2.50 per endpoint can resell at $8-12 per endpoint as part of a bundled managed service contract. On a 250-endpoint SMB client that's $1,300-2,400 per month in margin against the security line item alone.
This is why nearly every MSP that offers managed security includes Huntress as the foundation. The product genuinely works for SMB threat profiles, the partner programme is generous, and the white-label client reporting lets the MSP own the security narrative with their customer.
Fit profile
Who Huntress suits and who should look elsewhere
Best fit: small businesses (50-500 endpoints), MSPs offering managed security, organisations on tight budgets that still need 24/7 detection, and anyone whose primary threat is commodity malware, ransomware, and account compromise rather than nation-state activity.
Poor fit: regulated enterprises that need contractual SLA and full forensic IR, organisations with heavy cloud telemetry needs (Sophos or CrowdStrike better), and security teams that want a relationship-led Concierge Security Team experience (Arctic Wolf better).
