Quick Answer
BeyondTrust pricing in 2026 is fully custom across four modules: Password Safe, Privileged Remote Access, Remote Support, and Endpoint Privilege Management. AWS Marketplace 36-month contracts range from about $65,900 for Privileged Remote Access on 100 assets to $113,000 for Password Safe on 500 assets. The median customer contract sits at $17,795 per year (Vendr + CostBench, August 2026).
BeyondTrust's asset-based model is the pricing differentiator against CyberArk's per-user model. The choice matters for organizations with many service accounts.

BeyondTrust modules and what each one costs
BeyondTrust sells four separate modules, each priced on a different unit. Password Safe is priced per managed account. Privileged Remote Access is priced per concurrent session or per named user. Remote Support uses concurrent technician licensing where one license covers 150 managed assets. Endpoint Privilege Management is priced per endpoint. Total PASM bundles combine Password Safe and Privileged Remote Access for organizations that need both (checkthat.ai, July 2026).
| Module | Licensing unit | AWS Marketplace 36-month listing | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Password Safe | Per managed account | $113,000 for 500 assets (~$3,139 per month) | Credential vaulting, automated rotation |
| Privileged Remote Access | Per concurrent session | $65,900 for 100 assets (~$1,831 per month) | Vendor and contractor access without VPN |
| Remote Support | Per concurrent technician | $69,180 for 10 techs / 150 assets (~$1,922 per month) | 24/7 help desk teams |
| Endpoint Privilege Management | Per endpoint | $76,000 for 1,000 assets (~$2,111 per month) | Least-privilege on Windows / Mac / Linux |
The asset-based model is the pricing differentiator against CyberArk. CyberArk's per-user model charges for every privileged human, every service account, and every application credential under management. BeyondTrust charges for managed assets regardless of how many accounts exist against each asset. For organizations with many service accounts and machine identities, BeyondTrust often runs three times less expensive than CyberArk on equivalent deployments (checkthat.ai, July 2026).
Typical contract sizes by organization size
BeyondTrust contracts cluster in three size bands. The table below reflects negotiated pricing per Vendr transaction data and reports from third-party procurement benchmarks (Vendr, 2026).
| Deployment profile | Annual contract value | Modules typically included |
|---|---|---|
| Small (50 to 200 users, single module) | $30,000 to $80,000 | Password Safe OR Privileged Remote Access OR Endpoint Privilege Management |
| Mid-market (200 to 1,000 users, 2 to 3 modules) | $80,000 to $250,000 | Password Safe plus one or both of Privileged Remote Access and Endpoint Privilege Management |
| Enterprise (1,000+ users, multi-module) | $250,000 to $500,000+ | Full platform with premium support and professional services |
Small deployments on a single module usually start near the AWS Marketplace 36-month minimums. Mid-market deployments that combine Password Safe with Endpoint Privilege Management typically negotiate closer to the lower end of the $80,000 to $250,000 range by committing to a three-year term. Enterprise deals frequently exceed $250,000 in license alone and reach $500,000 to $1M once professional services and premium support are layered on (Vendr, 2026).
Hidden costs and multi-year negotiation levers
Three line items routinely push the real first-year cost above the published rate card. Professional services add 20 to 40 percent on top of license cost; simple single-module deployments run $10,000 to $50,000 in services, while complex multi-site enterprise rollouts can reach $300,000 to $500,000. Premium support adds 10 to 20 percent to annual costs for 24/7 SLA and faster response times. Annual escalation typically runs 4 to 7 percent (UK G-Cloud 14 commits to 6 percent annually), so a $150,000 Year 1 contract reaches roughly $168,550 by Year 3 (checkthat.ai, July 2026).
Multi-year three-year commitments are the biggest discount lever. BeyondTrust strongly prefers multi-year contracts and will discount aggressively to secure them, often 15 to 30 percent off annual pricing. Enterprise buyers should also negotiate caps on renewal escalation (3 to 5 percent rather than 4 to 7 percent) and secure professional services at fixed-fee rather than time-and-materials. Bundling all four modules into a single Total PASM contract typically unlocks the deepest discount (Vendr, 2026).
On-premises versus cloud deployment cost
The deployment model choice changes the upfront investment, not the unit price. BeyondTrust does not publish deployment-specific pricing, so no source states an exact premium between on-premises and cloud. On-premises B/U Series appliance deployments involve higher upfront hardware investment, with some reviewers noting the appliance pays for itself within two years at scale. Cloud or SaaS subscriptions avoid that upfront cost, and the AWS Marketplace 36-month listings reflect cloud subscription contracts that bundle the platform, support, and standard maintenance into a single line (checkthat.ai, July 2026).
For most new buyers, the cloud path delivers lower first-year cost even when the per-asset line is comparable. On-premises deployments make sense for organizations with strict data residency requirements or large existing infrastructure investments that can absorb the B/U Series appliance. For most mid-market teams without those constraints, the cloud or hybrid path is the practical choice (checkthat.ai, July 2026).
