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.

Huntress does not publish list prices: its official pricing page asks you to book a demo for a quote (checked June 2026). Per-endpoint figures above are channel-reported rates before MSP markup. The 50-agent minimum is confirmed on the Huntress pricing page, which also invites teams under 50 endpoints to contact sales.

Pricing structure

MSP vs direct retail pricing

ChannelPer endpoint / moWhen this applies
MSP partner$2.50-3.50You buy through an authorised Huntress MSP partner. They mark up to suit their managed service contract.
Direct retail~$8.99Buying directly from Huntress without a partner. Common for organisations with internal IT teams.
Volume direct~$5-7Direct 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.

ProductList price / monthBilled perMinimum
Managed EDR$8.99endpoint50 (MSP partner rate $2.50-3.50)
Managed ITDR$4.80licensed identity50
Managed SIEM$4.00data source50
Managed ISPM$4.00licensed identity50
Security Awareness Training$2.08learner50

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

A 250-endpoint SMB buying Managed EDR ($8.99) plus ITDR on 250 identities ($4.80) and SIEM on 250 sources ($4.00) at list is about $4,448 per month, or roughly $53K per year. Bought through an MSP at partner EDR rates the endpoint line drops sharply, which is why most SMBs see Huntress on an MSP invoice rather than a direct bill.

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.

ScenarioHuntressArctic 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 teamNoYes (CST)
Cloud workload coverageAdd-onIncluded

The decision

If your SMB needs a real conversation about security posture and a named team accountable to your business, Arctic Wolf earns the premium. If you want strong baseline detection on a budget that fits an SMB profit margin, Huntress is the right answer. Many MSPs run Huntress as the floor and recommend Arctic Wolf to clients whose maturity has outgrown Huntress.

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).

FAQ

Huntress pricing questions

How much does Huntress cost per endpoint per month?
MSP partner pricing for Huntress runs $2.50 to $3.50 per endpoint per month, which is the rate most small businesses see when buying through their managed service provider. Direct retail pricing is around $8.99 per endpoint per month. Volume discounts kick in beyond 500 seats and pull MSP pricing closer to the lower bound.
What's the minimum contract for Huntress?
Huntress has a 50-agent minimum commitment for Managed EDR (confirmed on the Huntress pricing page, which also invites smaller teams to talk to sales if they're under 50 endpoints). The standard term is 12 months for MSPs, direct customers and resellers, with monthly billing in arrears for MSPs and a choice of monthly or annual billing for direct customers. That is still lighter-touch than enterprise MDR providers that push multi-year commitments.
Why do MSPs love Huntress so much?
Three reasons: low partner pricing means high resale margin, the platform is genuinely operable by non-specialist IT teams (the SOC team handles the security expertise), and the white-label client reporting is professional enough to defend the MSP's recurring revenue. Most MSPs offering managed security have Huntress in their stack as the foundation product.
Does Huntress include 24/7 monitoring?
Yes. Huntress includes 24/7 monitoring by their SOC team across managed EDR, identity threat detection, security awareness training, and SIEM. Same-day response is standard, though it isn't a contractual one-hour SLA like CrowdStrike Falcon Complete or Sophos MDR Complete. For most SMBs the same-day response window is sufficient given the threat profile.
How much does Huntress ITDR cost?
Huntress Managed ITDR (identity threat detection and response) lists at $4.80 per licensed identity per month at the entry 50-99 identity tier, billed separately from the Managed EDR endpoint price. It monitors Microsoft 365 identities for compromised accounts, unauthorized access, and rogue inbox rules. Larger identity counts step down through tiered discounts.
How much do Huntress Managed SIEM and Security Awareness Training cost?
Huntress Managed SIEM lists at $4.00 per data source per month and Security Awareness Training (SAT) at $2.08 per learner per month, both at the entry 50-unit tier. Managed ISPM (identity security posture management) is also $4.00 per identity per month. Each is licensed on its own unit with the same 50-unit minimum and 12-month term.
Does Huntress pricing include identity threat detection, or is that extra?
Identity threat detection is a separately licensed product. Managed EDR at $8.99 per endpoint per month (or $2.50-3.50 via an MSP partner) covers the endpoint; Managed ITDR is an additional $4.80 per licensed identity per month. Huntress bundles the SOC team into every product, but you pay per product line, so identity coverage is a distinct add-on rather than included in the endpoint price.
What does Huntress not cover that other MDRs do?
Huntress doesn't include cloud workload monitoring at the base tier (CrowdStrike, Arctic Wolf, and Sophos all do). Forensic incident response beyond initial triage is not part of the standard service, and there's no financially backed 1-hour SLA. Containment is stronger than often assumed: the Huntress SOC isolates infected hosts for spread-risk incidents, and Managed Response lets you pre-approve automatic remediation. For SMBs, the real gaps usually don't matter; for enterprises, they're disqualifying.
