Simple, Transparent Pricing
Month-to-month, no long-term contracts required. Built for small and mid-sized businesses with 5-75 users. We specialize in professional services firms.
Is This Expensive?
Compared to break-fix IT, yes. Compared to hiring even one internal IT person ($60-80K+ salary, benefits, training, turnover), no.
Athencia One Complete for a 25-person firm costs roughly what you'd pay a part-time helpdesk employee—except you get a full team, enterprise security tools, and strategic guidance.
We're not the cheapest option, but we're the one that lets you stop thinking about IT.
