Plans built around your environment.
Every business is different. That's why we scope pricing to your specific environment, user count, and compliance requirements — not a generic tier sheet.

- Intune Enrollment — every device managed and policy-compliant
- Defender for Business — endpoint threat protection and AV
- Entra ID + MFA — identity and Zero Trust foundation
- Security Baseline Config — hardened per Microsoft benchmarks
- Help Desk Support — business hours remote IT support

Questions we always get.
Because the right price depends on your specific environment — how many users, which Microsoft licenses you already have, your compliance requirements, and how much of the setup we're doing from scratch. A 15-user law firm and a 100-user healthcare group have very different scopes. We'd rather give you a real number than a generic one that doesn't reflect your situation. The conversation takes about 20 minutes.
Foundation Cloud Workspace for a 20-user firm typically starts in the $150–$300 per user per month range depending on which M365 licenses are included and what security configuration is needed. Lab/Burst environments start at $25–$150 per environment per day depending on compute size and duration. These are ballpark ranges — your actual quote will be exact. Start with a free assessment and we'll scope it precisely.
Foundation subscriptions are available month-to-month or annually. Annual plans include 2 months free and priority onboarding — your team is live in 3 business days instead of 5. Lab/Burst environments have no minimum — you pay per day of usage. White-Label partnerships are typically structured as annual agreements to ensure we can commit the infrastructure and support resources your clients need.
No. NxtLayer IT is a Microsoft CSP (Cloud Solution Provider), which means we can provision, manage, and bill for your Microsoft licenses directly — often at the same or better price than buying direct. If you already have licenses, we can work within your existing agreement. We'll assess your current licensing during the free assessment and recommend the most cost-effective path forward.
For Foundation tier: 5 business days for a standard deployment, 3 days for annual plan customers. This includes environment build, security baseline configuration, device enrollment, user onboarding, and a walkthrough call with your team. Lab/Burst environments are available in under 15 minutes. CloudKit industry bundles include a dedicated 5-day onboarding sprint.
Autobots is NxtLayer's proprietary AI intelligence layer — it powers our environment assessments, automates provisioning and teardown of Lab environments, generates security health reports, and drives the proposal and documentation workflows behind the scenes. Clients don't interact with it directly — they just see faster delivery and more consistent reports. For White-Label partners, we offer Autobots as a licensed capability under your brand.
