10 Kaseya Competitors for MSPs, Compared on Price and Contract Terms

TL;DR

  • Kaseya publishes no pricing. There is no price on the VSA product page, kaseya.com/pricing returns a 404, and Kaseya 365 is a quote form. Every Kaseya number you find online is a third-party estimate.
  • The contract structure changed. From December 2025, Datto RMM, SaaS Protection and Autotask moved off High Watermark billing to Committed Minimum Quantity plus Variable Consumption, with the rest of the Kaseya portfolio expected to follow by 30 June 2026.
  • Only four vendors on this list publish a real price you can read without a sales call: NinjaOne, Atera, SuperOps and Syncro, plus ManageEngine on a per-endpoint band. That is the most useful filter on the page.
  • Kaseya VSA is currently VSA 10, with VSA 9 still supported. Inside Kaseya 365 Endpoint you can choose Datto RMM, VSA 10 or VSA 9 as the RMM component.
  • Our pick for MSPs leaving Kaseya over pricing opacity is Syncro, on a flat per-technician rate with unlimited endpoints and no minimum commitment. Ranked and disclosed below.

10 Kaseya Competitors for MSPs

You cannot budget against a price you cannot see. That is the practical problem with Kaseya in 2026, and it is why most MSPs start looking.

Kaseya publishes no pricing for VSA or for the Kaseya 365 bundles. The VSA product page has no figure on it, kaseya.com/pricing returns a 404, and the Kaseya 365 page is a quote request form. Then in December 2025 Kaseya moved Datto RMM, SaaS Protection and Autotask off High Watermark billing onto a Committed Minimum Quantity plus Variable Consumption model, with the remaining products expected to follow by 30 June 2026. If your renewal is coming up, that is the change to read carefully.

This list compares ten alternatives on the two things that are hardest to find and easiest to verify: what they actually charge, and what they lock you into. Where a vendor does not publish a price, we say so instead of estimating, because an unpublished price is a procurement cost of its own.

Disclosure: Syncro is our platform. We ranked it third here rather than first, and we applied the same test to it as to everyone else, which is whether the price is published and what the commitment looks like. Weight the G2 reviews above any vendor blog, including ours.

How we evaluated these tools

Four criteria, in this order:

  1. Published pricing. Can an MSP read the rate without a sales call? This is a proxy for how the vendor will treat you at renewal, and it is the criterion Kaseya fails.
  2. Pricing unit and commitment. Per endpoint, per technician, per node, and whether a minimum quantity or term is required. Per-endpoint pricing moves against you as clients grow.
  3. Platform scope. RMM only, or RMM plus PSA plus ticketing and billing? Replacing Kaseya with three tools is not a consolidation.
  4. Current G2 rating and review volume, read in August 2026, with the review count included because a 4.8 across 40 reviews and a 4.7 across 5,000 are not the same signal.

Sources: vendor pricing pages and product documentation, G2 listings, Kaseya’s DattoCon 2025 press release for the billing change, Omdia’s 2026 RMM/PSA Leadership Matrix, and Canalys market-share estimates via ChannelE2E. All figures read in August 2026 and will drift. Where a figure could not be verified from a primary source, it is not in this article.

The filter nobody puts on these lists: who will tell you the price

We checked every vendor on this page against a single question. Can an MSP read the rate on the vendor’s own site, today, without talking to anyone?

Five can. NinjaOne publishes a per-device band. Atera publishes per-technician tiers. SuperOps publishes per-endpoint tiers. Syncro publishes two flat per-technician plans. ManageEngine publishes per-endpoint bands with a technician included. Action1 publishes its free tier.

Five cannot. Kaseya, ConnectWise, N-able, Datto RMM and Pulseway all route to a quote form. In Pulseway’s case the page is literally titled pricing and contains no dollar amount. In Kaseya’s case the pricing URL returns a 404.

This matters beyond convenience. A vendor that publishes a rate card has committed to it publicly and has to defend increases against it. A vendor that quotes per deal prices per deal, which is why the renewal conversation is the one MSPs dread. If pricing opacity is what pushed you off Kaseya, replacing it with another quote-only vendor solves nothing.

What you’re actually replacing

Kaseya VSA is currently VSA 10, with VSA 9 still supported. Inside Kaseya 365 Endpoint, the RMM component can be Datto RMM, VSA 10 or VSA 9, bundled with Datto AV and EDR, ransomware detection, Kaseya MDR on the Pro tier, and endpoint backup. There are Pro and Express tiers. None of it has a published price.

Two other things worth knowing before you plan a migration. Datto SaaS Defense is end of life: INKY became the default for new Kaseya 365 User sales on 1 January 2026, SaaS Defense support ends 31 December 2026, and it is fully decommissioned on 30 June 2027. And Kaseya has announced a Cyber Resiliency Platform with feature rollout starting April 2026, which is the thing to watch if you are betting on the current Datto BCDR shape persisting.

One correction to a common assumption: the Datto brand has not been retired. Datto RMM, SaaS Protection and the SIRIS BCDR line are all still distinct, current products, now marketed largely on kaseya.com. Datto is a Kaseya product family, not a separate company, and SIRIS 6 launched in October 2025.

The 10 alternatives

1. NinjaOne

The default answer, and the one with the most public accountability. NinjaOne is the only large RMM vendor here that publishes a rate card: from $1.50 per device per month at 10,000 endpoints up to $3.75 at 50 or fewer, for commercial non-FedRAMP deployments, varying by region and product mix. Omdia’s May 2026 assessment put it above $500 million ARR in fiscal 2025 at nearly 70% year-over-year growth across roughly 35,000 customers. It acquired Dropsuite in June 2025 for around $270 million, so SaaS backup is now in-house as NinjaOne SaaS Backup.

What we like: Published per-device pricing that scales down as you grow, which is unusual. Largest G2 review base on this list by a factor of four. Patch management with granular deployment timing, approval workflows and rollback. Strong endpoint monitoring and a well-regarded interface.

What we don’t like: No native PSA, so replacing Kaseya plus Autotask with NinjaOne means buying a PSA separately. Per-device pricing still means your bill grows with every client endpoint, which is the same structural problem as Kaseya. Add-ons for backup and advanced features sit outside the base rate.

Best for: MSPs who want the largest, best-reviewed RMM and already have a PSA they intend to keep.

Pricing: $1.50 to $3.75 per device per month, published, with the lower end at 10,000 endpoints. 14-day free trial, no free tier.

G2 rating: 4.7 out of 5 across 5,029 reviews.

2. Atera

The other per-technician platform with a published number, and the one with the strongest AI story. Atera prices per technician with unlimited endpoints, which removes the endpoint-growth problem entirely. Its published IT Department tiers are Professional at $149 per technician per month billed annually or $169 monthly, Expert at $189 or $229, and Master at $219 or $269. Separate MSP tiers exist under the names Pro, Growth, Power and Superpower; Atera renders those prices client-side and its own support articles decline to state them, so we are not quoting figures we could not read.

What we like: Per-technician, unlimited-endpoint pricing with a real published rate. AI Copilot now included in all plans. 30-day trial with no credit card, the most generous evaluation window here. Named a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Endpoint Management Tools.

What we don’t like: Meaningful capability is gated to upper tiers, and one of the gates is significant: Mac agent support sits on Growth, not the entry plan. Atera is also mid-way through a pricing realignment that moves legacy accounts onto current website pricing, effective from June 2026 billing for monthly plans and from renewals on or after 28 July 2026 for annual ones, so existing customers should check what changes.

Best for: MSPs and lean IT teams who want per-technician pricing and can live inside the tier gating.

Pricing: IT Department Professional $149 per technician per month annual, $169 monthly. MSP tier pricing not publicly readable. 30-day free trial, no credit card.

G2 rating: 4.6 out of 5 across 1,245 reviews.

3. Syncro, our pick for MSPs leaving over pricing

Syncro combines RMM, PSA, ticketing, billing and Microsoft 365 management in one platform at a flat per-technician rate with unlimited endpoints, published on the site, with no minimum commitment. Core is $129 per user per month billed annually or $159 monthly; Team is $179 or $209. That is the whole reason it is on this list at position three rather than lower: if the thing that pushed you off Kaseya was not knowing what you would pay, this is the shortest distance to knowing.

On capability, the parts that matter for a Kaseya replacement: patch approvals run on four named states, Approve, Defer, Reject and Manual, on a daily, weekly or monthly schedule, inheriting down a policy hierarchy that works like a Group Policy Object model. Dedicated importers exist for Atera, Autotask and ConnectWise, plus an agent-install path for NinjaOne assets and CSV import for organisations. The scripting engine supports PowerShell, Batch, VBScript and Mac Bash, with Bash on the Linux agent, and there is a Community Script Library of user-contributed scripts.

What we like: Published flat per-technician pricing with unlimited endpoints and no minimum quantity, so adding client endpoints does not change the bill. RMM and PSA in one database rather than two integrated products. Migration importers for the platforms MSPs actually leave. 14-day trial, no credit card, and trials start on the Team Plan.

What we don’t like: Smaller than NinjaOne, Atera or ConnectWise by review volume and install base, so there is less independent signal to check us against. A significant amount of capability sits on the Team Plan rather than Core, including all Microsoft 365 management, network discovery, the CIS-aligned security baselines and every AI ticket feature, so compare Team against a competitor plan rather than Core. Reporting is functional and customizable but does not have the visual depth of a dedicated BI tool. And the Atera importer brings across customers, contacts, tickets and comments, but not invoices.

Best for: MSPs replacing Kaseya plus a separate PSA who want one platform at a price they can read, and who do not need enterprise-scale depth.

Pricing: Core $129, Team $179, per user per month billed annually. Unlimited endpoints per technician on all plans. Microsoft 365 Cloud Backup is a separate add-on at $1.90 per user per month and works on both plans. 14-day free trial, no credit card.

G2 rating: 4.5 out of 5 across 538 reviews.

4. SuperOps

The newest platform here and, notably, one that changed its pricing model. SuperOps now prices per endpoint rather than per technician, in published tiers: PRIME at $1.50 for the first 100 endpoints, dropping to $1.20 above 1,000, and PRIME PLUS at $2.50 early-bird, regularly $3.00, dropping to $2.00 above 1,000. Note that third-party listings including G2 still show the old per-technician tiers; the vendor page is the current source.

What we like: Genuinely transparent per-endpoint tiers published on the site. Unified PSA and RMM rather than two products. Modern interface and an AI copilot. 14-day trial.

What we don’t like: Youngest platform on the list with the smallest review base of the paid options, at 200 reviews. Smaller integration marketplace. Some enterprise features still in development. And the shift to per-endpoint pricing reintroduces the cost-scales-with-clients problem that per-technician platforms solve.

Best for: Newer MSPs who want a modern unified platform and are comfortable with per-endpoint economics.

Pricing: PRIME $1.20 to $1.50 per endpoint per month, PRIME PLUS $2.00 to $3.00, annual billing saves 15%. Minimum 100 endpoints on PRIME, 150 on PRIME PLUS.

G2 rating: 4.4 out of 5 across 200 reviews.

5. ConnectWise

The enterprise answer, and a platform in the middle of a significant transition. ConnectWise Manage is now ConnectWise PSA. The Asio platform was rebranded as the ConnectWise Platform in June 2026, with PSA already ported and RMM agents due to follow. ConnectWise Automate is still actively sold and patched. ConnectWise Pro, launched June 2025, bundles PSA, RMM, RPA, ScreenConnect, documentation, reporting and CPQ, licensed per end user or per endpoint.

What we like: The deepest automation and policy control available for MSPs, with an enormous integration ecosystem and an active community. Genuine enterprise scale, and the only vendor here whose PSA is a peer to Autotask.

What we don’t like: No published pricing at all; connectwise.com/pricing is a quote form. Steep learning curve and a long time to productivity. Mid-platform-transition, which means the thing you buy today is being replaced by the thing they are building. And on 20 April 2026 ConnectWise published a security bulletin for Automate 2026.4 covering CVE-2026-6066, cleartext transmission of sensitive information, base score 7.1, so check your version.

Best for: Larger MSPs with dedicated automation staff who need depth more than transparency.

Pricing: Not published, quote only.

G2 rating: Automate 4.1 out of 5 across 140 reviews; ConnectWise PSA 4.0 across 583 reviews.

6. N-able N-central

The compliance-oriented option, and one of five Omdia named as Champions in its 2026 RMM/PSA Leadership Matrix. N-central is the heavier of N-able’s two RMM products; N-sight RMM is the lighter one and reviews separately. Automated patching with staged deployment and rollback, behaviour-analytics threat detection, and multi-platform support across Windows, Mac and Linux.

What we like: Strong monitoring depth and compliance reporting, mature multi-platform coverage, and a good fit for regulated client estates. Solid review base at 563.

What we don’t like: No published pricing; n-able.com/pricing returns a 404. Steeper learning curve. PSA comes via integration rather than natively. And the two-product split between N-central and N-sight means you need to be clear which one a review or a quote refers to.

Best for: MSPs with compliance-heavy clients who will accept a quote-based relationship.

Pricing: Not published, quote only. Free trial offered, length not published.

G2 rating: N-central 4.4 out of 5 across 563 reviews. N-sight RMM 4.3 across 359.

7. Datto RMM

Included with a caveat that matters: Datto RMM is a Kaseya product. If you are leaving Kaseya, moving to Datto RMM is a move within the same vendor relationship, the same billing entity and the same December 2025 Committed Minimum Quantity change. It is on this list because MSPs genuinely evaluate it and because it is a capable platform, not because it is an escape.

What we like: Well-liked platform with the second-strongest review base here at 795. Deep integration with Datto BCDR if you already run SIRIS. Integrated Splashtop remote control and strong Mac and Linux coverage.

What we don’t like: Same vendor, same pricing opacity, same contract structure as the product you are leaving. No published pricing. PSA comes via Autotask. If pricing transparency or commitment terms are your reason for shopping, this does not address either.

Best for: MSPs who like Kaseya’s technology and dislike a specific VSA implementation, rather than MSPs who want out.

Pricing: Not published, quote only.

G2 rating: 4.5 out of 5 across 795 reviews.

8. ManageEngine Endpoint Central

A patch-and-endpoint-management platform rather than an MSP business platform, and priced completely differently from everything else here: per endpoint in bands with one technician included. At 50 endpoints, Professional is $795 per year on-premises or $1,045 per year cloud, Enterprise is $945 per year, and the UEM edition is $1,095. Bands run from 50 up to 10,000 endpoints. No additional-technician price is published.

What we like: Published pricing, which most of this list lacks. Very strong patch management across third-party applications. A 30-day trial with unlimited endpoints, plus a permanent free edition capped at 25 endpoints. Large review base at 1,131.

What we don’t like: Not a multi-tenant MSP platform. No native PSA, ticketing or billing; ManageEngine sells those as separate products with separate licences and consoles. Add-ons for EDR and ransomware protection are priced separately again. Replacing Kaseya with this means assembling a stack, not consolidating one.

Best for: Internal IT departments, and MSPs whose primary unmet need is patch depth rather than platform consolidation.

Pricing: From $795 per year on-prem or $1,045 per year cloud at 50 endpoints, per-endpoint bands, one technician included. Free edition up to 25 endpoints.

G2 rating: 4.5 out of 5 across 1,131 reviews.

9. Pulseway

The mobile-first option, built around doing real remediation from a phone rather than viewing dashboards on one. Real-time monitoring with fast push notifications, and an interface most reviewers rate highly. Its own pricing page carries no dollar amount, which is worth noting on a list where that is the main criterion.

What we like: Best mobile experience here by reputation, with genuine remediation rather than read-only. Clean interface, good real-time alerting, strong 4.6 rating.

What we don’t like: No published pricing; the page titled pricing contains no numbers. Smallest review base of the paid options at 123. Reporting depth is limited, patch management often needs a third-party integration, and PSA is via basic integrations only.

Best for: Small MSPs and on-call teams where phone-first response is the primary workflow.

Pricing: Not published, quote only.

G2 rating: 4.6 out of 5 across 123 reviews.

10. Action1

Not a Kaseya replacement, and included because it solves one specific problem for free. Action1 is patch management, and it is free for your first 200 endpoints with no feature limitations, raised from 100 in February 2025. Its own wording: “No feature limitations. Not a trial.” Above 200 endpoints, pricing is quote only.

What we like: A genuinely useful free tier at 200 endpoints, not a crippled trial. Highest G2 rating on this list at 4.9 across 1,173 reviews, which is a large base for that score. Fast to deploy.

What we don’t like: Patch management only. No PSA, no ticketing, no billing, no multi-tenant MSP business layer. Paid pricing is not published. On its own it does not replace an RMM platform.

Best for: Filling a patch gap immediately at no cost, or running alongside a platform rather than instead of one.

Pricing: Free to 200 endpoints with no feature limits. Above that, quote only.

G2 rating: 4.9 out of 5 across 1,173 reviews.

How to choose your Kaseya alternative

Work through these in order. The first one that gives you a clear answer usually is the answer.

  1. Name the actual complaint. Pricing opacity, contract terms, platform complexity and support experience lead to different shortlists. If it is pricing, eliminate every quote-only vendor immediately, which removes half this list.
  2. Decide whether you are replacing one product or two. If you run VSA plus Autotask, a platform with a native PSA replaces both. NinjaOne, N-able and ManageEngine will leave you buying a PSA separately.
  3. Model the bill at your target size, not today’s. Per-endpoint pricing scales against you as clients grow; per-technician pricing does not. At 300 endpoints those two models are close. At 3,000 they are not.
  4. Check the commitment, not just the rate. Minimum quantities, minimum terms and true-up mechanics are where the surprises live, and they are the specific thing that changed at Kaseya in December 2025.
  5. Run the migration in parallel for one full billing cycle. Every platform here has importers or a migration path, and every one of them misses something. Syncro’s Atera importer, for example, brings tickets and contacts but not invoices.

Know what you’ll pay before you sign

If pricing opacity is what started this search, the shortlist is shorter than it looks. Five of the ten platforms here will tell you the rate without a sales call.

Syncro is one of them: $129 per technician per month on Core, $179 on Team, billed annually, unlimited endpoints, no minimum commitment. Start a 14-day free trial, no credit card required, or book a demo and we will model your actual bill against your current one.

Frequently Asked Questions about Kaseya Alternatives

How much does Kaseya VSA cost?

Kaseya does not publish it. There is no price on the VSA product page, kaseya.com/pricing returns a 404, and Kaseya 365 routes to a quote request form. Any figure you find in a blog post or comparison table is a third-party estimate rather than a vendor rate. The only way to get a Kaseya price is to ask Kaseya.

What is the best Kaseya alternative for MSPs?

It depends on whether you are replacing one product or two. NinjaOne has the largest install base and publishes a per-device rate card but has no native PSA. Atera and Syncro both price per technician with unlimited endpoints and include a PSA, so they replace VSA and Autotask together. If you left Kaseya specifically over pricing transparency, restrict your shortlist to vendors that publish a rate: NinjaOne, Atera, SuperOps, Syncro and ManageEngine.

What is the difference between per-endpoint and per-technician RMM pricing?

Per-endpoint pricing charges for every managed device, so your bill grows as clients add machines even when your team does not grow. Per-technician pricing charges per seat with unlimited endpoints, so growth in a client estate is free and growth in headcount is what costs. Per-technician favours MSPs whose endpoint count per technician is high; per-endpoint favours very small estates. The crossover is usually somewhere between 300 and 500 endpoints.

Did Kaseya change its billing model?

Yes. Effective December 2025, Datto RMM, Datto SaaS Protection and Autotask moved from High Watermark pricing to a Committed Minimum Quantity plus Variable Consumption model, and Kaseya indicated the remaining products would follow by 30 June 2026. Read your renewal terms carefully, because a committed minimum behaves differently from a high-watermark count when a client shrinks.

Is Kaseya VSA the same as VSA X?

Not as a product name. Kaseya’s current documentation and release notes refer to VSA 10, with VSA 9 still supported. “VSA X” appears in Kaseya’s own help site as the name of an agent portal component, and in some third-party press as a product name, but it is not how Kaseya labels the product in its current release notes or its Kaseya 365 documentation.
