Datto RMM Pricing in 2026 With Quote-Only Rates and a New Billing Model

Christopher 6 min read

Datto does not publish Datto RMM pricing, and its pricing page asks buyers to request a quote. It is now part of Kaseya, which acquired Datto in 2022. This page covers what Datto RMM costs in 2026, what the all-inclusive model does and does not cover, and how the billing model changed. Negotiated rates vary with fleet size and term.

Datto RMM cost per endpoint per month

Datto does not publish a per-endpoint rate for Datto RMM, and pricing is set in a quote. Datto markets an all-inclusive model. Core RMM features are not split into per-module add-ons, so the per-endpoint number is closer to the all-in cost than it is with Kaseya VSA or ConnectWise RMM.

How the billing model changed in December 2025

Datto moved off high-watermark billing starting with December 2025 invoices 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 billed separately

The RMM feature set, covering monitoring, patching, automation, and remote access, is bundled. The main separate line is Datto BCDR, the backup and continuity hardware and software Datto is known for. RMM integrates natively with it, and it is purchased separately. If backup is a requirement, include BCDR in the total alongside 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 Datto RMM billing change took effect with December 2025 invoices, the same period in which Kaseya ended high-watermark billing on VSA. If you are evaluating both, they are distinct products with different histories and integrations, and neither is a rebrand of the other. The dedicated Kaseya VSA pricing guide covers that side.

Comparison with other RMM platforms

The full RMM pricing comparison puts Datto RMM side by side with NinjaOne, ConnectWise RMM, Kaseya VSA, Atera, Syncro, and ET Ducky, and includes an interactive cost calculator.

A paid subscription includes 20 managed agent seats per subscribed user, and additional agents cost from $5 down to $2 per month at scale. Each purchased agent seat adds 100 AI queries per month. The self-hosted Local-First tier runs the full stack on your own infrastructure for $650 per month with unlimited agents. ET Ducky reads kernel events with ETW on Windows and eBPF on Linux and runs a root-cause analysis on every alert. Every tier and the cost calculator are on the ET Ducky pricing page.
