FAQ
Is managed IT cheaper than hiring in-house in Canada?
For most businesses under about 40 staff, an MSP is cheaper than a full-time IT hire once you include salary, benefits, tools and the coverage gap when one person is sick or on vacation. Larger teams may justify in-house or a hybrid. The calculator compares your case.
How much do managed IT services cost per user in Canada?
Canadian MSP pricing typically runs about $120–$240 per user per month — help desk and patching at the low end, full security and Law 25/PIPEDA compliance support at the high end.
