Bitdefender GravityZone tiers and what each one covers
GravityZone is sold as four tiers with progressively broader capability. Small Business Security is the prevention layer with antivirus and basic endpoint controls, suitable for businesses up to 30 endpoints. Business Security adds Network Attack Defense, Web Access Control, Device Control, and Endpoint Risk Analytics. Business Security Premium adds HyperDetect advanced machine learning, Sandbox Analyzer, Fileless Attack Defense, and Exchange server coverage. Business Security Enterprise is custom-quoted and adds additional enterprise capabilities including XDR and MDR (Twelverays, August 2026).
| Tier | Best fit | List price per device per year | Promo price per device per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small Business Security | Small businesses up to 30 endpoints | $32.50 | $22.75 |
| Business Security | Companies with IT function, basic policy control | $38.50 | $26.95 |
| Business Security Premium | Targeted-attack risk, Exchange on-premises | $88.00 | $61.60 |
| Business Security Enterprise | Large enterprise with XDR and MDR needs | Custom quote | Custom quote |
The jump from Business Security to Premium at $38.50 to $88.00 per device per year is the financial decision most procurement teams stress over. Premium more than doubles the per-device cost and adds HyperDetect, Sandbox Analyzer, Fileless Attack Defense, and Exchange coverage. Premium is justified mainly by targeted-attack risk profiles, organizations running Exchange on premises, or those needing advanced behavioral detection (Twelverays, August 2026).
Volume discounts and multi-year commitments
Volume discounts and multi-year terms compound for substantial savings. Volume discounts start at 50+ endpoints and typically range 15 to 25 percent off list. Multi-year commitments (2-year or 3-year terms) unlock an additional 15 to 25 percent savings on top of volume discounts. The combined promotional and volume plus multi-year discount can reach 50 percent off list for large enterprises (CostBench, July 2026).
| Endpoint count | Volume discount | Typical effective rate (Premium, 3-year) |
|---|---|---|
| 5-49 | 0% (list) | ~$61.60 per device per year (with promo) |
| 50-249 | 15-20% | ~$52 to $55 per device per year |
| 250-999 | 20-25% | ~$44 to $49 per device per year |
| 1,000+ | 25-35% | ~$40 to $46 per device per year |
The promotional 30 percent discount applies at signup for the first year, after which the renewal list price binds. Procurement teams should plan at list rather than promo because the renewal line is the durable cost. The 3-year commitment locks the discount across the term and is the most reliable way to manage Bitdefender total cost of ownership (Bitdefender, September 2026).
Bitdefender MDR for organizations without an in-house SOC
Bitdefender MDR is the managed detection service built on top of GravityZone Premium. Bitdefender MDR wraps 24/7 SOC analysts around GravityZone telemetry, providing active threat hunting, incident response, and remediation. Mid-market deployments typically pay $15 to $25 per endpoint per month for MDR plus GravityZone Premium; enterprise deals commonly run $8 to $15 per endpoint per month at scale (Bitdefender, September 2026).
For organizations with no internal SOC, Bitdefender MDR delivers a comparable outcome to CrowdStrike Falcon Complete at 30 to 50 percent lower per-endpoint cost. The trade is platform depth: CrowdStrike's identity threat detection and cloud workload protection are stronger, while Bitdefender's prevention and ransomware rollback are category-leading. Buyers choosing between the two should anchor on the threat model: Bitdefender for ransomware-heavy environments, CrowdStrike for cross-domain threat hunting (Bitdefender, September 2026).
Hidden costs to plan beyond the license
Three line items routinely push the real first-year cost above the published rate card. Implementation and onboarding cost $500 to $5,000 per user depending on environment complexity. Premium support costs roughly 20 percent of license cost annually. Training runs $500 per user for the GravityZone administration certification. The combined overhead can add 30 to 60 percent to the base license fee for organizations without prior GravityZone experience (CostBench, July 2026).
For most mid-market deployments, the realistic three-year commitment for Bitdefender GravityZone Premium on 500 endpoints lands at $66,000 to $88,000 per year all-in (license plus implementation plus premium support), or roughly $44 to $58 per device per year including all overhead. Renewal planning should anchor on the list rate plus the negotiated renewal increase, which historically averages 5 to 8 percent annually (CostBench, July 2026).
