Pricing is the question every owner wants answered and most providers avoid. We publish ours, so here is a clear explanation of how managed IT is priced in the Denver metro, what is typical for a business with 10 to 75 employees, and what moves the number up or down.
Managed IT pricing in Denver at a glance
- Per-user managed IT in Denver commonly runs $100 to $250 per user per month.
- Our security-first SecureOps engagement typically starts around $4,000 per month for 10 to 20 users, which is $200 to $400 per user at that size.
- Price is driven by users, devices, cloud, support level, risk, and cleanup.
- The cheapest plan usually leaves security as your problem.
Common pricing models
- Per user, per month: the most common model. Simple to predict as you hire.
- Per device, per month: used when device counts vary widely from headcount.
- Tiered plans: a baseline plan plus add-ons for security or compliance.
- Project or flat fee: for a one-time review or hardening project rather than ongoing support.
Typical monthly ranges by company size
These ranges reflect a security-first engagement that bundles managed security with day-to-day IT support. Actual pricing depends on complexity, support needs, and risk level.
- 10 to 20 users: our SecureOps engagement typically starts around $4,000 per month. That works out to $200 to $400 per user per month, above the low end of the market range because managed security is included.
- 21 to 40 users: most engagements fall between $5,000 and $8,000 per month.
- 41 to 75 users: custom scope, often $8,000 per month and up depending on support, security, and compliance needs.
If you want a lighter starting point, a Tecnico Ready security review starts at $2,500 (a one-time fee) and managed security through Tecnico Defend starts at $1,250 per month. Full numbers are on the pricing page.
What drives the price
- Number of users and devices.
- Your cloud environment, such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or both.
- How much day-to-day support your team needs.
- Your risk level and any compliance or cyber insurance requirements.
- How much cleanup is needed at the start, which is usually a one-time cost.
Cheapest is not the same as right-priced
The lowest quote is usually a break-fix help desk with security left as your problem. That can look fine until a cyber insurance questionnaire, a client security review, or an incident arrives. Security-first pricing costs more because identity, email, backups, monitoring, and evidence are included. If you only need the cheapest help desk, we are probably not the right fit, and we will say so. Our managed IT in Denver page explains the model.
Frequently asked questions
How much do managed IT services cost per user in Denver?
Per-user managed IT in the Denver metro commonly runs from around $100 to $250 per user per month, depending on whether security is included, how many devices each person uses, and how much support is needed. Security-first plans sit toward the higher end because more is included.
Why does security-first IT cost more than a basic help desk?
A basic help desk fixes tickets. Security-first IT also hardens identity and email, monitors for threats, manages backups, and produces evidence for cyber insurance and client reviews. You are paying for risk reduction, not only break-fix support.
What drives the final price?
User count, device count, your cloud environment, the level of support you want, your risk level, and how much cleanup is needed at the start. Larger or higher-risk environments are scoped after a review.
Does Tecnico Desk offer co-managed IT?
Yes. Tecnico Desk can fully manage your IT or work alongside an internal person or team in a co-managed model. Both are scoped to your environment.
