The most significant pricing driver is company size larger companies benefit from economies of scale in monitoring, patching, and helpdesk volume.

What Miami Businesses Are Cutting (and Shouldn't Be)
When Miami businesses evaluate switching IT providers primarily on price, the same cost-cutting moves come up again and again. Here is why they backfire:
- Dropping on-site support to save $20–$30/user/month: The average on-site visit costs $150–$300 when billed hourly. A company with 20 users needing 3 on-site visits per month pays $450–$900 in hourly fees versus $400–$600/month for unlimited on-site in a standard contract.
- Removing backup management: The average cost of a data recovery incident for a Miami SMB is $8,500–$35,000 including downtime, recovery labor, and lost productivity. Backup management typically costs $5–$15/user/month.
- Eliminating security awareness training: The average cost of a successful phishing attack on a Miami business is $47,000 in direct costs (remediation, downtime, legal). Training costs $3–$8/user/month.
- Switchinging to offshore-only support: Response times increase from minutes to hours. For businesses with customer-facing operations, every hour of downtime has a direct revenue cost.
How to Use This Data when Evaluating IT Proposals
- 1Compare per-user cost, not total contract value a lower total cost with fewer users covered is not a better deal
- 2Verify what is explicitly included in writing "unlimited support" means nothing without a defined scope of what qualifies
- 3Ask for the SLA in writing response time guarantees should be contractual, not verbal
- 4Check for hidden costs: hardware procurement markups, after-hours premiums, project work billing rates, and travel fees for on-site visits
- 5Evaluate the local presence a Miami IT provider with a local team and local references is meaningfully different from a national MSP with a Miami phone number
Pro Tip
If you are comparing providers, include your current IT contract with a pricing request and we will explain what it covers.
