Atera suits teams that want RMM and a help desk in one subscription and prefer to pay for technicians, not devices. The Professional plan, at $149 per technician per month billed annually or $169 monthly, includes remote monitoring and alerts, remote management, patch management, software management, Azure AD integration, a service portal, mobile apps and Splashtop remote access for up to two concurrent sessions. Every plan carries the AI copilot, ticketing, Windows, Mac and Linux support, IT automations and 24/7 chat support. Expert, at $189, removes the Splashtop session cap, adds AnyDesk, preset reports and ticket auto-tagging. Master, at $219, adds custom analytics reports, longer audit logs and data recovery. The catch is that some MSP essentials cost extra: Network Discovery is a $29 per technician add-on, and SSO and a HIPAA business associate agreement wait for the Enterprise tier. For a small team with many endpoints per technician, the math is still attractive.
