Xcellerate RMM vs Atera
Atera's per-technician pricing is famous — until your team grows. Xcellerate RMM has unlimited technicians on every plan, including the free one.
Unlimited techs, really
Atera charges per technician, so scaling the team scales the bill. Xcellerate RMM never charges for technicians — self-hosted or Cloud.
Self-hosting option
Atera is cloud-only. Xcellerate RMM runs in your own data center for free — essential for regulated or sovereignty-minded customers.
Extended inventory
Database instances, BitLocker keys, certificates, scheduled tasks and listener ports come standard with every Xcellerate RMM agent.
