A 30-day free trial is available with unrestricted sensors.
PRTG uses a Per-sensor monthly subscription (billed annually) model. Your bill scales with managed devices or endpoints, which means cost is predictable when that metric is stable but can grow quickly during expansion. A 30-day free trial, unrestricted sensors.

PRTG pricing overview
PRTG publishes pricing for 6 tiers: Freeware (Free, or Up to 100 sensors (~10 devices), perpetual billed annually), PRTG 500 ($179/month, or 500 sensors billed annually), PRTG 1000 ($325/month, or 1,000 sensors billed annually), PRTG 2500 ($675/month, or 2,500 sensors billed annually), PRTG 5000 ($1,183/month, or 5,000 sensors billed annually), PRTG 10000 ($1,492/month, or 10,000 sensors billed annually).
Per-device pricing is predictable for stable environments but compounds during onboarding bursts or acquisitions. Clarify whether a device counts from enrollment or only once fully managed, and whether you can reduce device count mid-term. Most vendors lock counts annually, so over-provisioning in year one is money that doesn't come back.
Read the pricing through the buying motion, not only the packaging language.
PRTG pricing should be evaluated in the context of rollout scale, admin ownership, and the commercial metric that drives expansion cost over time.
Pricing pages should help buyers understand not just what the vendor charges, but what implementation scope, support needs, and operational complexity mean for total ownership. Use this page to frame vendor conversations before final procurement.
- Clarify whether cost scales by endpoint, technician, site, or another metric.
- Confirm what onboarding, premium support, or implementation services add to total spend.
- Model pricing against the actual environment size expected over the next 12 months.
PRTG plan structure and what changes the bill
The free tier is a genuine evaluation tool — teams can test core workflows and validate fit before spending anything. Once you exceed what the free tier covers, PRTG 500 ($179/month, or 500 sensors billed annually) is where most small paid teams land.
The PRTG 10000 tier ($1,492/month, or 10,000 sensors billed annually) makes sense when you specifically need what it unlocks — typically automation depth, advanced integrations, or compliance-level reporting. If the main reason to upgrade is more capacity, check whether a mid-tier with add-ons delivers better cost efficiency.
PRTG pricing questions buyers should answer early
What is the scaling metric, and how fast does cost grow?
Identify whether PRTG cost grows by devices, then model the bill if that number doubles in 18 months. That figure is more useful than the first quote.
What sits outside the headline package?
Ask explicitly whether implementation support, premium SLAs, advanced reporting, or integrations with your existing stack are extras. Those additions often close the gap between tiers faster than plan descriptions suggest.
What does renewal look like after year one?
First-year PRTG pricing often includes promotional discounts or bundled minimums that don't carry forward. Ask for the standard renewal rate and whether it's indexed to usage growth or a flat percentage uplift.

Does PRTG offer a free trial?
+
Yes — 30-day free trial, unrestricted sensors. Use the trial to validate the product fits your environment before committing to an annual contract.
Is there a free version of PRTG?
+
PRTG includes a free tier suitable for small teams or proof-of-concept work. It typically lacks the automation, reporting, or integration depth that larger deployments require.
Does PRTG charge per device or per user?
+
PRTG charges per device or endpoint. Cost is predictable for stable environments but can compound quickly during onboarding or fleet expansion — clarify whether mid-term reductions are allowed before signing.
Is PRTG worth the cost?
+
Value depends on how well the product fits your workflows and whether the tier you actually need is priced proportionately. The clearest test is comparing it against one direct alternative at the same budget — if PRTG covers more of your critical workflows at comparable cost, it belongs on the shortlist.
