Flat per tenant, not per user
One fee per client tenant per month, whatever its headcount. No per-user counting, no base subscription and no sales call. Start free on one client, against your own Azure subscription.
Plans
| Plan | Per tenant / month | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Microsoft 365 management | $10USD | Intune and Conditional Access baselines, drift detection, user and licence reads. |
| Azure (AVD / Windows 365) | $50USD | Template deployment, autoscaling, cost and utilization reporting. |
| Microsoft 365 + Azure | $60USD | Both of the above for one customer tenant. |
| Free tier | $0USD | 1 tenant and 5 users, with no time limit, running against your own Azure subscription. A card is authorized to verify the account and is not charged unless you upgrade. |
All prices are in US dollars (USD). You pay by card through a secure Stripe checkout.
A per-user fee grows with your client; this one does not
The bigger the client, the more a per-user tool costs, while your rugged.sh fee stays flat. Your break-even is our fee divided by your per-user rate: below that headcount a per-user tool is cheaper, and for a very small client it stays that way.
| Client example | Typical per-user tool | rugged.sh |
|---|---|---|
| M365 only, 25 users | ~$75 | $10 |
| Azure, 30 AVD users | ~$360 | $50 |
| Azure, 100 AVD users | ~$1,200 | $50 |
Per-user figures are illustrative of a typical management tool (~$3/user for M365, ~$12/user for AVD), shown to compare pricing models, not a specific competitor's quote. All prices in USD. See a full breakdown on the comparison page.

Straight answers on cost
- How is rugged.sh priced?
- Per client tenant, not per user: $10 per client per month for Microsoft 365 management, $50 per client for Azure (AVD / Windows 365), or $60 for both. A client is billed only for the services you switch on for it. All prices are in US dollars (USD). There are no per-user fees and no minimums.
- Is there a free tier?
- Yes: 1 tenant and 5 users, with no time limit, running against your own Azure subscription. A card is authorized to verify the account and is not charged unless you upgrade.
- How does billing work, and what happens if I cancel?
- You pay by card through a Stripe checkout, and the bill follows your active clients and the services each one has on: $10 for Microsoft 365, $50 for Azure, $60 for both. A subscription stays on the price it was created against for as long as it stays active. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the billing period. Anything you deployed stays in your clients' tenants, and your data is deleted or returned after a 90-day recovery window.
- Can I try rugged.sh before moving my whole fleet onto it?
- Yes, on one client. The free tier is one customer tenant and five users against your own Azure subscription, so you can run it for real, but it cannot show you cross-tenant management. If that is what you need to see before deciding, email support@rugged.sh and talk to us.
