Is this a quote?
No. It is a planning estimate based on published list prices. Final costs depend on the plans you choose, discounts, how much you use and exchange rates. We confirm real numbers in a written estimate after a free call.

Monthly figures exclude GST and are shown as ranges because plans and team size vary. Open-source tools have no licence fee, but someone has to set them up, secure them and keep them updated. That effort is not in this table. Items priced in US dollars use the exchange rate shown below.
What is not in this estimate
One-time costs and our fees
The tools above are subscriptions, so there is no one-time licence cost in the table. Your one-time costs are the hardware you buy and the setup work.
IT retainers and larger projects are quoted after a free call. Our fees are separate from the tool costs above.
Where the numbers come from
Every price below was read from the vendor’s own page on the date shown. Vendors change prices, so check before you buy. Microsoft 365 prices are the standard with-Teams plans, paid yearly and excluding GST; Copilot is only included if you tick that option.

Questions about this estimate
Why is open source not always cheaper?
Open-source tools have no licence fee, but someone has to host, secure and maintain them. For a small team, a cloud server for monitoring can cost more each month than per-user licences. It gets cheaper as the team grows, or when you already own the hardware.
What is left out?
Hardware, backup storage, Veeam and enterprise SIEM licences, firewalls, GST and our own fees. Some of these vendors do not publish prices, so we do not guess them.
How current are the prices?
Each price was read from the vendor’s page on the date shown in the sources table. Vendors change prices without notice, so treat the figures as a starting point and check the vendor page before buying.
