Managed IT Services Pricing in Toronto & the GTA
Managed IT services for a 25 to 150 person business in Toronto and the GTA typically cost $4,200–$21,500 per month, plus a one-time onboarding fee of $6,600–$28,350. At Third Octet, your price depends on your number of employees, devices, servers, and locations.
That’s a pretty big range. We know.
A 25-person business with a handful of devices and one server is a very different environment from a 150-person business with multiple servers, locations, and more complex IT needs. Both might need a managed IT partner, but they won’t need the same level of service or investment.
The table below gives you a starting point, and our pricing calculator can help you get a better estimate for your own environment.

What about Microsoft 365 licensing: The low end of each monthly range does not include Microsoft 365 licensing. This lets you compare our pricing with providers that don’t bundle licensing into their base fee. Microsoft 365 licensing can be added based on your users and subscription requirements.

What Affects the Price of Managed IT Services?
Company size is a useful starting point, but it doesn’t tell the whole story. Two businesses with the same number of employees can have very different IT requirements.
- Employees and devices: The number of people who need support and the computers, mobile devices, and other equipment they use.
- Servers and infrastructure: The number of servers and the complexity of the systems that need to be managed, maintained, and protected.
- Locations: The number of offices and the requirements for supporting users and technology across them.
- Onboarding requirements: The work needed to bring your existing systems into the managed environment, along with the services included in your agreement.
These factors influence both your ongoing monthly fee and your one-time onboarding cost.

Questions we get asked…
How much do managed IT services cost per employee?
The cost per employee varies depending on your IT environment, the devices and servers that need to be managed, the number of locations, and the services included in your agreement. A per-employee figure can be useful for rough comparisons, but it doesn’t tell the whole story.
Is Microsoft 365 licensing included in Third Octet's managed IT pricing?
Microsoft 365 licensing is not included in the low end of the published monthly pricing ranges. Licensing can be added based on your users and subscription requirements.
Why is there a one-time onboarding fee?
The onboarding fee covers the work required to bring your existing IT environment into the managed service. The cost depends on your employees, devices, servers, locations, and the services agreed upon.
