ScalePad Backup Radar solves a real, painful problem for MSPs: The alert logic is superior to native tools, the reporting saves hours before client meetings, and the IT Glue integration is a force multiplier.

| Plan | Approx. cost per protected endpoint (monthly) | Minimum commit | |------|------------------------------------------------|----------------| | (monitoring only) | $0.60 – $0.90 | 100 endpoints | | Pro (monitoring + restore testing + reporting) | $1.20 – $1.80 | 100 endpoints | | Enterprise (+ API access + SSO + custom SLAs) | Custom quote | 500+ endpoints |
