Multi-tenant dashboards with per-client isolation, PSA and ticketing integration, white-label portals, per-technician or per-endpoint pricing with volume discounts, automated alerting with an escalation path, and reporting that works as a client deliverable.
Compare per-technician pricing against per-endpoint pricing using your real endpoint-to-technician ratio, then add integration costs, add-on modules, and any minimum commitment before ranking the options.
Some vendors serve both markets, but multi-tenancy, white-labeling, and PSA integration usually sit in MSP-tier plans rather than standard ones. Products built for a single internal IT estate often have no multi-tenant model at all.
