Why Do Subscriptions Have a Minimum Starting Price (with breakdown)?

Table of Contents

All subscription levels have a yearly minimum price, as shown below. Included in our minimum starting price is coverage of up to 1,000 devices.

  • Minimum Yearly Price (Enterprise Premium) = $5,000
  • Minimum Yearly Price (Enterprise Plus) = $3,500
  • Minimum Yearly Price (Enterprise Patch) = $2,000

We price our software subscription per-device cost very competitively, and we believe our minimum starting price is priced appropriately for the value and time savings. Please see Why is There a Minimum Price for Companies with Low Device Counts? for a more detailed look.


Here is a quick breakdown of everything that comes with the minimum pricing:

  • Average Savings of More than 5000 Hours
    • Regardless of device count, an average customer publishes 1,329 updates and applications per year. It takes about 4.5 hours to package, test, and deploy an application manually (Twitter survey). The base pricing ensures both small and large companies get maximum time-saving.
  • Unlimited Support
    • No need to sign up for premium support upgrades. The minimum pricing includes unlimited, in-house support from our top-tier engineers worldwide, who provide complete time zone coverage. This helps us provide seamless experiences for all customers.

How is Device Count to Purchase Determined?

Table of Contents

You know your environment better than us. We use the honor system for allowing you to determine your managed device count when requesting a quote.

If you plan to deploy third-party updates to all managed devices, using the All Desktop and Server Clients member count would be a good option for ConfigMgr customers. For Intune Customers, we recommend the Windows Intune enrolled devices table from the Devices Overview page.

Does Patch My PC Have Any Competitor Comparison Details?

Patch My PC Doesn’t Offer Competitor Comparison and Here’s Why

We don’t offer a direct comparison that we create. As a company, we don’t think spending time researching, comparing, or copying competitors makes sense when we have over 7,520 customers using our product and providing fantastic feedback daily on our UserVoice. We use this feedback directly when adding new features to our product Public Roadmap. We build our product based on customer feedback. This philosophy is how our customers differentiate us when they switch to our product from our competitors.

If you want a comparison, I would recommend starting with a live demo and full-access free trial and compare the experience. If you have any specific questions, feel free to book a 30-minute call with me! – Justin Chalfant, Founder/CEO
