Datto RMM Pricing in 2026: What It Actually Costs

Christopher 6 min read

Datto RMM is one of the few major RMM platforms with a published base rate, which makes it easier to price than quote-only competitors. It is now part of Kaseya, which acquired Datto in 2022. This page summarizes what Datto RMM costs in 2026, what the all-inclusive model does and does not cover, and how the billing model changed. Figures reflect published rates and community reporting as of mid-2026; negotiated rates vary with fleet size and term.

How much does Datto RMM cost?

Datto RMM's published base rate is around $2.99 per endpoint per month, with volume pricing negotiated below that at scale. Unlike most competitors, Datto markets an all-inclusive model: core RMM features are not split into per-module add-ons, so the headline per-endpoint number is closer to the all-in cost than it is with Kaseya VSA or ConnectWise RMM.

What changed in 2026: the billing model

Datto moved off high-watermark billing in mid-2026 to a committed-minimum-plus-consumption model. Under the old high-watermark approach you were charged for the peak device count in a period even after removing devices; the new model sets a committed minimum and bills consumption above it, which helps MSPs with seasonal or churning fleets.

What is included, and what is not

The RMM feature set (monitoring, patching, automation, remote access) is bundled. The major separate line is Datto BCDR, the backup and continuity hardware and software that Datto is best known for. RMM integrates natively with it, but it is purchased separately. If backup is a primary driver, factor BCDR into the total, not just the per-endpoint RMM rate.

Datto RMM and Kaseya

Since the 2022 acquisition, Datto RMM and Kaseya VSA have coexisted as separate products under one owner, with gradual convergence of back-end systems and billing practices (the mid-2026 billing change mirrors Kaseya ending high-watermark billing on VSA in late 2025). If you are evaluating both, treat them as distinct products with different histories and integrations rather than rebrands of each other. See the dedicated Kaseya VSA pricing guide for that side.

How Datto RMM compares

For a side-by-side against NinjaOne, ConnectWise RMM, Kaseya VSA, Atera, Syncro, and ET Ducky, with an interactive cost calculator, see the full RMM pricing comparison.

ET Ducky prices differently again: a flat monthly subscription that includes 20 managed agent seats per subscribed user, additional agents from $5 down to $2 per month at scale, and published rates rather than quotes. Where Datto RMM pairs RMM with its backup and continuity line, ET Ducky leads with kernel-level diagnostics (ETW on Windows, eBPF on Linux) and root-cause analysis. The right fit depends on whether backup integration or diagnostic depth is your priority.

Frequently asked questions
