What Are Flat-Rate IT Plans?

Pricing You Can Plan For

Most IT support is billed by the hour, by the ticket, or by the incident — your team hesitates to call, and you find out the cost when the invoice arrives. Flat-rate is different. Whether you call it a flat-cost IT support plan, a fixed-fee IT support plan, a fixed-cost IT support plan, or an unlimited IT support plan, the model is the same: one predictable per-user price that covers helpdesk, monitoring, patch management, user onboarding, and ongoing maintenance. Your team calls when they need help. You don't think about the bill. DAG Tech has refined this flat-rate IT support plan model with a named senior engineer on every account.

Same Cost Every Month
Your January bill is your July bill. Budget once, sleep easy.
Unlimited Calls, Zero Hesitation
No per-ticket charges means your team calls when they should — not when they have to.
Real Engineers, Not a Call Center
A named senior engineer owns your account. Same person every time.
Why Flat-Rate Wins

Hourly Billing vs Flat-Rate

Most MSPs still bill the old way. Here's what changes when you switch to flat-rate.

The Old Way
Hourly & Per-Ticket
  • $200–$300/hr — your bill varies wildly
  • Your team hesitates to call to "save money"
  • Surprise invoices at end of month
  • Engineer rotation, no continuity
  • Costs balloon during incidents
The DAG Tech Way
Flat-Rate Per User
  • $80–$199/user/mo — same bill every month
  • Team calls freely without bill anxiety
  • No invoice surprises, ever
  • Dedicated senior engineer per account
  • Incident response included in your rate
Where the Flat Rate Ends

What's Included vs Billed Separately

Our flat rate is generous. It also has limits. Here's exactly what's inside and outside your monthly bill — no fine print, no surprises.

Included in Every Plan
Covered by your flat rate
  • 24/7/365 helpdesk & remote support
  • Software setup, admin, and license provisioning
  • Vendor coordination (Microsoft, Google, ISPs, SaaS apps)
  • Patch management & security updates
  • Monitoring & proactive maintenance
  • Onboarding & offboarding via Setsail
  • Strategy reviews with your success manager
Billed Separately
Not part of the monthly rate
  • Hardware purchases (computers, phones, servers)
  • Software licenses (M365, Adobe, line-of-business apps)
  • Major projects (office moves, cloud migrations, rollouts)
  • Custom development & integrations
  • Specialty consulting (M&A IT, audits, regulatory)
  • Third-party vendor invoices passed through at cost

Common Questions

What Buyers Ask Before Signing

Real questions from real buyers — answered directly.

01 ——
What counts as a "user" for billing?
A user is any employee, contractor, or service account that needs IT support or has a managed device. Shared mailboxes, generic resource accounts, and disabled accounts don't count. Headcount is reconciled monthly — you pay for who's actually working, not your peak roster.
02 ——
What's the difference between Diamond IT and A+ Animal?
Diamond IT is a support-and-monitoring plan — Base covers helpdesk and RMM, Pro adds managed EDR and network response. A+ Animal is comprehensive managed IT with enhanced security — Diamond Pro plus threat management, phishing/security training, State of the Technology reporting, and policy development. If compliance or workforce training matters, A+ Animal is the right fit.
03 ——
Can we upgrade or downgrade plans mid-contract?
Yes — upgrades take effect the following billing cycle and prorate from that date. Downgrades require 30 days notice and take effect at the start of the next month. The 1-year or 3-year term resets on upgrade only if you opt to lock in the new rate.
04 ——
What contract terms are available?
Three options: month-to-month (cancel anytime), 1-year (save up to 15%), and 3-year (save up to 20%). All terms use the same automated billing platform with ACH or credit card. There's no setup fee, and the price you sign at is the price you keep for the term.
05 ——
Do you work alongside our in-house IT person?
Yes — co-managed IT is one of our most common engagements. We integrate with your existing team, handle areas they can't cover (24/7, security operations, compliance), and act as a senior escalation resource. Your internal person stays in place — we extend capability without replacing them.
06 ——
What if there's a network-down emergency on Diamond IT Base?
On-site response for network outages is included in Diamond IT Pro and A+ Animal. On Base, on-site response is billed at our standard hourly rate with a 4-hour minimum dispatch. If your environment is critical, Diamond IT Pro is the recommended floor — the upgrade typically pays for itself on the first major incident.
07 ——
Are after-hours and weekend incidents included?
Yes — flat rate means flat rate. 24/7/365 helpdesk is included in all three plans, including overnight and weekend coverage. No per-ticket charges, no time-of-day surcharges, no surprise invoices. The only billable extras are scheduled projects, hardware purchases, and licenses.
08 ——
Is there a minimum contract length?
Month-to-month, 1-year, and 3-year terms are all available. Longer commitments lower your per-user rate — the calculator above shows the exact difference — but no long-term lock-in is required to get started.
09 ——
How does onboarding work?
Onboarding runs alongside your first month of service: discovery, documentation, a security baseline, and user setup, with zero-touch hardware deployment from our staging facilities. Most teams are fully transitioned within the first few weeks.
10 ——
Do we have to replace our current IT vendor or tools?
No. We can run alongside an incumbent during transition and work with most existing tools and licenses. Where our stack replaces something you already pay for separately, that consolidation is part of the savings the calculator reflects.

Ways to Move Forward

Pick the path that fits where you are right now.

What is a flat-rate IT support plan?

A flat-rate IT support plan — also marketed as a flat-cost IT support plan, a fixed-cost IT support plan, a fixed-fee IT support plan, or an unlimited IT support plan — means one fixed monthly cost per user covering helpdesk, monitoring, patch management, and ongoing maintenance, replacing unpredictable hourly billing and per-ticket charges. DAG Tech has refined this flat-rate IT support plan model across 12 global offices, supporting organizations in legal, financial services, healthcare, media, and government.

Flat-cost, fixed-fee, and unlimited IT support plans — same model, different names

You’ll see this billing model marketed under several names: flat-cost IT support plan, fixed-fee IT support plan, fixed-cost IT support plan, and unlimited IT support plan. The fundamentals are identical — one fixed per-user price, no per-ticket charges, and unlimited helpdesk access. DAG Tech sells this flat-rate IT support plan under three product variations (Diamond IT Base, Diamond IT Pro, and A+ Animal) at three commitment terms (month-to-month, 1-year, and 3-year), but every variation uses the same no-surprise-bill structure. A fixed-cost IT support plan removes the budgeting friction that hourly MSP contracts create, and an unlimited IT support plan removes the call-avoidance friction that per-ticket pricing creates.

Comparing Diamond IT and A+ Animal

Diamond IT is a support-and-monitoring product available in two tiers: Base (24/7 helpdesk and Setsail onboarding) and Pro (adds managed Huntress EDR, network monitoring, and proactive Blackjack patch management). A+ Animal is a comprehensive cybersecurity platform layering on security training, threat management, State of The Technology reporting, and policy development for regulated industries like HIPAA, SOC 2, and CMMC.

How to choose a flat-fee or fixed-cost managed IT plan

The right flat-rate IT support plan depends on three factors: regulated-data exposure, training requirements, and infrastructure criticality. Businesses subject to compliance frameworks typically need the training, policy development, and threat management in A+ Animal. Businesses where the network can’t go down benefit from Diamond IT Pro’s on-site response and managed EDR. Smaller teams with cloud-first operations and minimal compliance exposure often start with Diamond IT Base as a flat-cost IT support plan and upgrade as the business grows. Every option is a fixed-fee IT support plan — the only variable is what’s included. Not sure? Start with a free IT assessment or run our 3-question decision aid above.
