- $297/month starting 7/1/2026 (if still month-to-month)
- $497/month starting 1/1/2027 (if still month-to-month)
- You can lock in lower pricing anytime by choosing a 1-year or 3-year term.

What is the Rollout Schedule?
- Onboarding begins January 2026 and completes by March 31, 2026
- Setup is free for existing clients where we already provide backups or security
- Typical onboarding value: $100 to $200 per computer
- Organization onboarding often around $1,000
What will this cost?
Most impacted existing clients start at $97 per month for Business Membership beginning 1/1/2026. Some optional items are separate such as:
-
Local device backups (workstations or servers) if needed
-
Password manager if desired
-
Email security upgrades for legacy tiers if applicable (grandfathered price with enhanced security at no additional cost through June 2026)
These items will be separated on your January 2026 invoice from any prior VIP or workstation security bundles (both discontinued as of 11/1/2025). VIP3 and Workstation Security bundles remain the same price at $50/month. We are adding new and improved device security layers (24×7 security) as a replacement for the backup/password manager inclusions.
🛡️ Why This Matters
- Cybercrime losses jumped 33% to $16.6 billion
