The math
Why $7 is the right number.
We could have priced lower — race-to-the-bottom marketing copy is cheap. But the LLM analysis, the dedicated VPS, and the 12-hour support SLA aren't free for us to deliver. Here's where Pro sits in the market.
No MITRE, no explainability. You're already here — that's why you're reading this.
Black-box ML. Score-only alerts. No Sigma. No LLM analysis.
Strong on auto-response. Weak on explainability. Same opaque score.
Excellent — but it's a human analyst service, not a product. You wait for their queue.
Between Defender and Huntress. Full explainability. No managed-service markup.
| Vendor | $/endpoint/mo | Honest read |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft Defender for Business | $3 | No MITRE, no explainability. You're already here — that's why you're reading this. |
| CrowdStrike Falcon Go | $5–8 | Black-box ML. Score-only alerts. No Sigma. No LLM analysis. |
| SentinelOne Singularity Core | $8–12 | Strong on auto-response. Weak on explainability. Same opaque score. |
| Huntress MDR | $8–15 | Excellent — but it's a human analyst service, not a product. You wait for their queue. |
| ABTDS Pro | $7 | Between Defender and Huntress. Full explainability. No managed-service markup. |
Competitor pricing reflects publicly-listed rates as of 2026-05. Quotes vary; enterprise discounts are routine. The point isn't the exact number — it's that ABTDS Pro sits between "Defender + a feeling" and "Huntress + a six-month wait for an analyst." We're the explainable product in between.

Questions
The things every IT manager asks.
Does the per-endpoint price include the VPS?
Does the per-endpoint price include the VPS?
Starter: yes (shared VPS in Singapore). Pro: yes (dedicated VPS in your region — AU, EU, US, SG). Enterprise: brings-your-own infrastructure, the per-endpoint number covers software + support only.
What's the difference between 'pilot' and 'paid'?
What's the difference between 'pilot' and 'paid'?
Pilots are 30 days free, no credit card. We email you on day 25 and ask. There is no auto-billing — if you don't reply, the data is exported and deleted within 7 days on request.
Can I move data out if I leave?
Can I move data out if I leave?
Yes. JSON export of every alert + processed event, no API fees, no 'data egress' charges. You own your audit trail. We send it as a tarball within 48 hours of request.
What about non-Windows endpoints?
What about non-Windows endpoints?
Today we only support Windows endpoints (Sysmon + Security log). Linux + macOS are on the roadmap for Q3 2026 — Pro and Enterprise customers vote on order.
Do we count VMs, containers, or just physical machines?
Do we count VMs, containers, or just physical machines?
We count any operating-system instance running Winlogbeat — physical, VM, container. If a host runs the agent, it's one endpoint.
Why is there no free forever tier?
Why is there no free forever tier?
Security tools have a heavy support load even for hobbyists. We'd rather charge fairly and keep the team focused on customers who depend on us than run a free tier we under-serve.
Founder's deal — what's the catch?
Founder's deal — what's the catch?
You commit to two things: a 30-minute monthly call where we ask what's working and what isn't, and permission to co-author a case study after 90 days. In return: 30% off Pro tier for as long as your account exists. No catch beyond that.
What happens at the end of the pilot if I want to keep using ABTDS?
What happens at the end of the pilot if I want to keep using ABTDS?
You pick monthly or annual billing, drop in a card, and the data stays where it is. No re-onboarding. No data migration. The dashboard URL doesn't change.
The right decision
If you're tired of alerts you can't explain,
starting an ABTDS pilot is the right decision.
30 days. Up to 50 endpoints. No card. No call required to start. Real data, your VPS, your decision at the end.
