SentinelOne Pricing
What the license costs and what it doesn't cover
SentinelOne publishes real prices, which puts it ahead of most enterprise security vendors. But a license is just the starting line. Understanding what each tier actually includes — and what you’ll need to provide yourself — is what separates a smart security budget from a surprise one.
SentinelOne's Current Pricing Tiers
SentinelOne structures its platform around three published tiers under the Singularity brand. Each tier adds capability to the previous one. Here’s what each level delivers and what it costs at current list pricing.
Singularity Core
$69-$99
per endpoint / year
- Next-gen antivirus and malware prevention
- Device control and USB management
- Basic EDR visibility
The entry point for growing teams. Complete includes AI-powered endpoint and cloud workload protection, real-time threat detection and response, 14 days of data retention, and an AI Security Assistant. For businesses without a dedicated security team, this tier provides strong detection but leaves alert investigation and incident response entirely in your hands.
Singularity Complete
$179.99
per endpoint / year
- Full EDR with deep visibility
- AI Security Assistant
- Autonomous threat response
Commercial adds Identity Detection and Response, 90-day data retention for extended analysis, and Managed Threat Hunting for proactive threat discovery. This tier is designed for teams that need more advanced security and have the staff to act on what the platform surfaces. Without analysts in the loop, the additional visibility adds cost without response.
Singularity Commercial
$229.99
per endpoint / year
- Everything in Complete, plus:
- Identity threat detection and response
- Managed threat hunting
Enterprise extends coverage to global organizations operating at scale. It adds Agentic AI SOC capability for automated triage, Full Visibility and Forensics for deep network data collection, and Managed Threat Hunting with 24/7 expert services. Pricing is quote-based and designed for organizations with dedicated security operations already in place.
Vigilance MDR
Adds SentinelOne's managed detection and response team — human analysts monitoring and responding on your behalf.
$100–$200
per endpoint / year
SentinelOne Alone vs. SentinelOne Managed by SADOS
The platform is the same. What changes is everything around it.
What SentinelOne Pricing
Doesn't Include
SentinelOne sells endpoint security software. It does not sell IT management, network oversight, help desk support, backup, compliance enforcement, or strategic guidance. Every tier — including Enterprise — assumes you have a team ready to deploy, configure, tune, and operate the platform. If you don’t, the license is only the beginning of your actual cost.
Here’s what falls outside every SentinelOne tier, regardless of what you pay:
- Deployment and policy tuning — Agent rollout and exclusion configuration are your responsibility. Out-of-the-box policies generate noise that requires ongoing expertise to tighten without creating gaps.
- Alert triage and incident response — SentinelOne surfaces threats. Who investigates them and contains active incidents is up to you — unless you add Vigilance MDR as a paid add-on.
- Network, server, and cloud management — SentinelOne watches endpoints. Firewalls, switches, servers, cloud workloads, and user accounts are outside its scope entirely.
- Backup, recovery, and compliance — A ransomware attack that encrypts your data is a SentinelOne alert, not a SentinelOne fix. Recovery, HIPAA documentation, NIST evidence packages, and CIS reporting require separate solutions.
- Help desk and IT support — SentinelOne is a security platform, not a support team. Employees with IT issues go elsewhere.
What SentinelOne Actually Costs a 50-Endpoint Business
The math looks different once you account for the full picture. Here’s a realistic cost model for a business running 50 endpoints on SentinelOne Commercial at $229.99 per endpoint annually.
- SentinelOne Commercial license: $11,499.50/year ($958/month)
- Internal security analyst time (conservatively 10 hrs/week at $50/hr): $26,000/year
- IT help desk and endpoint management: Not included — separate cost or existing IT staff
- Backup and disaster recovery: Not included — separate cost
- Compliance and documentation overhead: Not included
Total for the software-only path: $37,000+ annually — before IT operations, backup, or compliance. For most businesses in the 25 to 150 endpoint range, fully managed IT that bundles SentinelOne, 24/7 monitoring, help desk, patching, backup, and compliance into one monthly rate comes out ahead when you run the full numbers.

With SADOS, SentinelOne becomes one layer of a complete stack — not a standalone tool your team is responsible for running. Every alert gets investigated. Every incident gets a human response. Endpoints, network, cloud, email, and backups monitored together, one bill.

If you’re evaluating SentinelOne pricing, you’re asking the right questions. The next one is whether software alone gets you where you need to go — or whether a managed service that includes the platform, the expertise, and the response delivers better value for your business.
SADOS provides managed cybersecurity built on SentinelOne across Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, Florida, and Texas. One flat monthly rate covers the platform license, deployment, continuous monitoring, threat hunting, and incident response. No separate staffing required.
SentinelOne Pricing FAQ
Generally yes at comparable capability levels. SentinelOne bundles more features per tier rather than charging per module, which makes it more predictable for SMB budgets. At the Complete tier, SentinelOne typically runs lower than CrowdStrike Falcon Pro for equivalent detection and response capability. The gap narrows depending on negotiation and contract length, but SentinelOne is usually the better value for businesses under 500 endpoints.
Not by default. The published tiers cover software licensing. Managed detection and response is available as a separate add-on through SentinelOne’s Vigilance MDR service, which adds significant cost on top of the base license. Many businesses find that bundling a managed service through an MSP that includes SentinelOne licensing produces a lower combined rate than licensing plus Vigilance separately.
SentinelOne’s minimums vary by purchase channel. Direct purchases typically start around 25 to 50 endpoints. Managed service providers can often extend SentinelOne to smaller deployments through pooled licensing, which is one reason businesses with 10 to 25 endpoints often access better pricing through an MSP than through a direct SentinelOne purchase.
Yes. If you’re already working with a managed IT provider, SentinelOne can be added as a standalone security layer or folded into a broader managed cybersecurity package. If your provider doesn’t support SentinelOne, contact SADOS — we can layer managed EDR onto your existing environment or migrate your endpoint protection as part of a broader engagement.
SentinelOne Complete provides the endpoint visibility and logging that compliance frameworks require, but it does not enforce compliance on its own. HIPAA and NIST require documented controls across your entire environment — not just endpoints. Email, backup, access management, training, and policy documentation all factor in. SentinelOne is a strong compliance component. A complete compliance posture requires the full stack it sits inside.
When you purchase SentinelOne directly, you receive the software license and access to their support portal. Deployment, configuration, monitoring, and response are your responsibility. Through a managed service provider, the platform is bundled with full operational support: agents deployed, policies tuned, alerts investigated, and incidents handled. The per-endpoint rate through an MSP may appear higher, but it includes services that direct purchasing leaves entirely to you.
