How providers price managed IT
Most Melbourne MSPs charge per user or per device per month, sometimes with a small base platform fee. Quotes often bundle help desk, remote monitoring, patching, and Microsoft 365 administration. Project work — migrations, new sites, firewall replacements — is usually quoted separately.
Ballpark ranges for small business
For roughly 10–30 staff on Microsoft 365, many businesses see roughly $80–$180 per user per month depending on security depth, onsite visits, and after-hours coverage. Lower quotes may exclude security tooling, backup testing, or onsite — compare scope, not just the headline number.
What increases cost
Multiple offices, regulated data, 24/7 support, advanced EDR, compliance reporting, and legacy servers all add margin. Under-licensed Microsoft 365, poor documentation, or a prior breach cleanup also inflate onboarding. A structured discovery avoids surprise uplift after you sign.
Getting a fair comparison
Request the same inclusions from each vendor: response SLA, backup restore tests, MFA enforcement, and patch cadence. MrTech publishes free stack checks so you can see DNS, email authentication and basic security posture before you commit to a new partner.
