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.
Xcellerate RMM
Country of origin: Bulgaria
Bulgaria is an EU jurisdiction — aligned with your data-sovereignty and GDPR obligations, with no third-country access to worry about.
Atera
Country of origin: Israel
Headquartered in Israel, outside the EU. Data can fall under Israel law (e.g. the US CLOUD Act), which clashes with EU data-sovereignty and GDPR expectations.
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.
