Datto RMM Pricing in 2026 With a Published $2.99 Per Endpoint Rate and a New Billing Model

Datto RMM is one of the few major RMM platforms with a published base rate, so a quote is not required to estimate cost. 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. Figures reflect published rates and community reporting as of mid-2026, and negotiated rates vary with fleet size and term.

Datto RMM cost per endpoint per month

Datto RMM's published base rate is around $2.99 per endpoint per month, with volume pricing negotiated below that at scale. 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 2026

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 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 mid-2026 billing change mirrors Kaseya ending high-watermark billing on VSA in late 2025. 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.

ET Ducky publishes its rates instead of quoting them. A flat monthly subscription includes 20 managed agent seats per subscribed user, and additional agents cost from $5 down to $2 per month at scale. Each additional agent seat also includes 100 AI queries per month. ET Ducky has a self-hosted Local-First tier that runs the full stack on your own infrastructure at a flat $650 per month with unlimited agents. Datto RMM has always been cloud-only. Datto RMM pairs RMM with its backup and continuity line. ET Ducky is built around kernel-level diagnostics, using ETW on Windows and eBPF on Linux, with root-cause analysis. Which one fits depends on whether backup integration or diagnostic depth is your priority.

The per-vendor breakdowns in this series cover NinjaOne, ConnectWise RMM, Kaseya VSA, Atera, and Syncro. The RMM pricing index tracks all of the current rates in one table, with sources.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Datto RMM cost?

Datto RMM has a published base rate of around $2.99 per endpoint per month, billed all-inclusive, with volume negotiated above that. Exact pricing is quote-based and varies with fleet size and term.

Is Datto RMM the same as Kaseya VSA?

No. They are separate RMM products, but both are owned by Kaseya, which acquired Datto in 2022. The product lines have been converging since.

Does Datto RMM charge per module?

Datto markets an all-inclusive RMM model with no hidden per-module charges. Datto BCDR backup is a separate product that RMM integrates with natively.

Did Datto RMM change its billing model?

Yes. Datto moved off high-watermark billing in mid-2026 to a committed-minimum-plus-consumption model, which helps MSPs with fluctuating device counts.

Can Datto RMM be self-hosted?

No. Datto RMM (originally CentraStage) has always been a cloud-only platform, and Kaseya has not introduced an on-premises option. If self-hosting is the requirement, ET Ducky's Local-First tier runs the full stack on your own infrastructure at a flat $650 per month with unlimited agents.

Can Datto RMM deploy agents to devices it discovers?

For Windows, yes. Datto RMM nominates an on-site device as a network node and deploys the agent to discovered Windows machines through the Agent Browser; network deployment to macOS is not available. ET Ducky's flow adds a Linux path over SSH and a one-time enrollment link alongside an encrypted WinRM push that needs no change on the target host.
