What should your IT actually cost?

Enter your environment below and see a rough monthly number for RuckTech managed IT — side by side with what a typical competitor MSP, a full-time hire, or a part-time contractor would run you.

What do you need covered?

Automated, encrypted backups of your servers and critical data, tested regularly so you can actually recover from ransomware, hardware failure, or a bad update — not just hope the backup ran.

Active threat monitoring on every workstation and server — detects and stops malware/ransomware in real time, rather than relying on antivirus alone to catch it after the fact.

Ongoing monitoring, firmware/security updates, and support for your routers, switches, and Wi-Fi — so your network stays fast, segmented, and patched without you having to think about it.

Estimated RuckTech monthly cost

Rough planning estimate only — not a formal quote. Final pricing depends on a short environment assessment.

Pricing shown is subject to change based on the specific needs of your business. Most engagements start at a 5-endpoint minimum (workstations + servers combined).

One-time setup & additional services

Most engagements involve a few one-time onboarding costs to get your environment properly set up — these are separate from the monthly number above and scoped to what you actually need.

  • Login & account setup /user$36 $45
  • Network onboarding to our systems$720 $900
  • Backup & disaster recovery setup$600 $750

Struck-through figure is the 2026 market average; bold is RuckTech's standard rate — roughly 20% below market. Final scope confirmed during onboarding.

Help desk — pay only when you use it

Your team submits a ticket when something's wrong; we bill per ticket, not as a flat add-on fee stacked on top of your monthly plan. No support requests in a given month means no help desk charge that month.

$28/ticket $35 market avg

VoIP setup & configuration

Full phone system setup and configuration is available as part of your service — number porting, extensions, call routing, and desk phones or softphones, all handled end to end.

$100 setup $125 + $20/mo $25 /user

Wiring, cabling & network upgrades — bid on request

Need wires run for new access points, a network upgrade, or a full office cabling job? We bid those the same way any low-voltage contractor would — for example, a building purchasing new Wi-Fi hardware that needs cable pulled to each access point location. Typical Cat6 drop runs $180 $225 market avg, installed and tested — exact pricing depends on distance, wall/ceiling access, and drop count. Reach out for a walkthrough and a bid.
