Transparent pricing

No fine print. No hidden fees. No surprises.

Everything we charge is on this page — published labor rates and engagement fees, Health Check and managed tiers, and line-by-line project quotes. If a number isn’t clear, ask before you commit and we’ll walk you through all of it, in full, before any engagement starts.

Custom software is the one thing we quote after a discovery call — the range is too wide to bracket honestly on a public page.

Every job is the published rate, a one-hour minimum, then half-hour steps, plus the dispatch fee when we come on site. After-hours work costs the same. Pick the job and how long it takes.

The job

An engineer at your site, anywhere in the New York tri-state area.

Time on the job

WORKEDBILLED1-hour minimum+30+300 h1 h2 h3 h

You worked with us for 1 h 40 min. You’re billed for 2 h: the first hour, then 2 half-hour steps.

Hardware, cabling and materials are quoted separately, itemized on the proposal.

On-site work outside the tri-state has a 1-day minimum per trip, with travel quoted up front.

How engagements are structured.

Pick the model that fits the work. Standard engagements, fixed-scope projects, and ongoing managed coverage each have their own billing mechanics, shown here before you book.

What each Health Check covers

The tiers, compared line by line.

Every tier manages the covered devices and applications listed in its service order; complexity may require a higher plan. The tiers differ in engineer attention, review cadence, remote-billing perks, and reserved response capacity. Every tier is a monthly site base plus the per-device fees in the rate card below. Qualifying non-profits have one flat plan of their own, at the end of this section.

Per-device rate card, every tier

  • Gateway / firewall$50per device / month
  • Switch$40per device / month
  • Access point$30per device / month
  • Camera$15per device / month
  • Door controller$15per device / month

Devices are UniFi network, Protect, and Access hardware. Phones, desktops, printers, and servers are not devices and never enter the count. The covered devices and applications themselves are listed in the service order at every tier.

Every new managed site starts with a $500 onboarding review so coverage begins from documented facts; taking a console over from a previous provider is billed hourly. All response clocks run only during business days, 8 a.m.–6 p.m. et. No tier includes response coverage outside that window; requests are elective. No annual contracts; leave any month with notice.

One site means one street address plus one network-controller site. Floors at the same address under the same gateway stay in one site; a different address or separate controller site carries its own monthly site base.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions that come up before you book — how the rate works, billing, engagement fees, and what counts as managed remote work. Answered here so nothing’s a surprise on the proposal.

How do the minimums and increments work?

Consulting and standard remote work are $150/hr labor, with a 1-hour labor minimum and 30-minute increments thereafter; standard on-site work is $150 dispatch fee per visit + $150/hr labor, with the same minimum and increments. After-hours and emergency work is billed at the same rates as any other job. On-site work outside the tri-state retains its 1-day minimum per trip.

What does “no project minimum” mean?

We’ll quote a $1,200 single-site survey the same way we’ll quote a $180k multi-site rebuild. No artificial floor we have to clear. The proposal is what determines whether the math makes sense — if it doesn’t, we’ll tell you.

Are equipment costs included in your rates?

Engineering hours are labor only. Hardware, cabling, and materials are quoted on the project proposal — the BoM is itemized so you can see exactly what you’re paying for.

Why is custom software not in a public price grid?

The range is too wide to bracket honestly — a $15k internal tool and a $400k multi-tenant platform sit on the same continuum, but the discovery call is what determines which one we’re actually building. We publish the bracket; the number lands after a scoping conversation.

How is managed-plan remote billing different?

Managed remote work is task-based rather than a standard engagement: Essential is $150/hr · task-based 15-min increments · 1-hr/day minimum; Professional is $150/hr · task-based 15-min increments · no daily minimum; Enterprise is First 1 hr/month included remote remediation, consumed in task-based 15-min increments (non-rollover · no cash value · business-hours remote only) · then $150/hr in task-based 15-min increments · no daily minimum.

Is there a plan for non-profits?

Yes. Essential for Non-Profits is $250 per site per month, flat, for sites of up to 50 devices, with no per-device fees; a site is one campus on one gateway. It includes daily monitoring, response by the next business day, firmware management, a quarterly backup check, and a quarterly health summary. Everything else is billed per call at $150/hr, in 15-minute increments with no minimum, plus a $150 dispatch fee for an on-site visit; onboarding is $300 per site. It is for qualifying non-profits, and we confirm eligibility before we send a proposal.

How long is a quote valid?

Project quotes are good for 30 days. Hourly engagements honor whatever rate is published on this page at the time you book; if the published rate moves, we don’t retroactively change it on you mid-project.
