Pricing Tiers: What You Get at Each Level

Basic Monitoring & Helpdesk ($75–$100/user/month)

This entry-level tier typically includes remote monitoring of your devices, a helpdesk for common issues like password resets and software problems, and antivirus management. It does NOT usually include on-site support, cybersecurity tools, backup management, or strategic planning. Good for businesses with simple needs and in-house technical staff.
Standard Managed IT ($120–$175/user/month)
This is the most common tier for Miami businesses with 10-50 employees. It typically includes everything in the basic tier plus: unlimited remote and on-site support, patch management, endpoint security (EDR), cloud backup, and quarterly strategic reviews. This is where most businesses get the best value.
Comprehensive / Enterprise ($175–$250+/user/month)
Full-stack managed IT including advanced security operations (SOC), compliance management (HIPAA, PCI, SOC 2), virtual CIO services, 24/7 NOC monitoring, and priority response SLAs. Appropriate for healthcare, financial services, legal, and businesses with compliance requirements.
At these general market rates, a 15-person Miami business would see a $750/month gap between a basic plan ($1,125/month) and a standard one ($1,875/month). One serious ransomware incident or data breach typically costs $25,000–$150,000 to remediate. The math is not difficult.
Red Flags in IT Support Contracts
- Vague scope of work: If the contract does not clearly list what is and is not included, every request becomes a billable project
- Long lock-in terms: Reputable Miami IT providers offer month-to-month or 1-year contracts. Be wary of 3-year contracts with heavy penalties
- No SLA (Service Level Agreement): Without response time guarantees in writing, "24/7 support" is just a marketing claim
- Offshore-only support: For Miami businesses, having a local team that can be on-site within hours matters especially during hurricanes or critical outages
