This is an estimate from published industry ranges, not a GlobeVM price or a quote. It leaves out onboarding, projects, hardware and software licenses such as Microsoft 365. For firms with 1 to 25 employees, Flamingo (opens in a new tab) lists a lower band of $70 to $120 per user.

Our managed IT pricing guide covers the reasoning behind these numbers.
How GlobeVM quotes
We don't publish a price list, because two offices with the same headcount rarely need the same work. Nothing on this page is a GlobeVM price. We quote after a free IT assessment: a short call and a review of your systems, with your permission.
You can pay per user, per device, a flat monthly fee or per incident. Ask for the price and a list of what it includes before you sign anything. Firewall management, endpoint protection, email filtering and multi-factor sign-in are standard in every monthly plan.
Where the numbers come from
All checked October 25, 2026. Most come from MSP software vendors and IT providers, not independent auditors, so use them as a sanity check. None gives a Los Angeles figure, so read them as national ranges. Real quotes can land outside them in either direction.
