ESET pricing — endpoint & business protection
Reseller/aggregator-observed USD reference pricing for ESET PROTECT — Entry through MDR. ESET sells via quote and reseller channel only; no public per-seat list exists. We source and manage licensing for you.
How ESET PROTECT works
ESET PROTECT is built on LiveGrid, ESET's cloud reputation system, paired with dual cloud/on-device machine-learning engines, behavioural analysis, DNA-based detection and memory scanning to catch both known and novel threats. Higher tiers layer on LiveGuard cloud sandboxing to detonate suspicious files safely, XDR correlation to connect signals across endpoints, network and cloud, and — at the MDR tier — a 24/7 human analyst team investigating and responding on your behalf.

About these prices
PROTECT Entry, Advanced and Complete figures recur identically across multiple third-party sources (costbench.com, tekpon.com) — a pattern that suggests one shared upstream source rather than three independently-verified data points, so treat these three as directional reference pricing rather than a firm benchmark. PROTECT Elite and PROTECT MDR are quote-based only; no public reference figure exists for either.
Which tier fits
No dedicated security staff
PROTECT Entry covers the essentials — antivirus, ransomware shielding and multi-OS coverage — without needing anyone in-house to run it.
Already juggling M365 security manually
PROTECT Complete adds Microsoft 365/Google Workspace app protection, mail security and patch management — consolidating tools your team is likely running separately today.
Want 24/7 detection without hiring a SOC
PROTECT MDR pairs the full Complete/Elite feature set with a human-run team monitoring and responding around the clock — no in-house security operations center required.
