Most Ontario SMBs pay between $130 and $250 per user per month for fully managed IT services in 2026. Co-managed plans, where you keep some internal IT, run $80 to $150 per user. Cost varies by company size, security depth (basic AV versus EDR plus 24/7 MDR), after-hours response, and regulated-industry requirements such as PHIPA, PIPEDA, and Law Society obligations.
Outsource IT managed IT plans are priced per user, per month, with a range from $40 to $309. Entry-level plans cover core help desk, monitoring, and endpoint protection, while higher tiers add advanced security, compliance management, Microsoft 365 administration, and 24/7 incident response. The exact rate depends on user count, device mix, regulatory requirements, and whether you need fully managed, co-managed, or project-based support.
