The Bitdefender price for business plans is set per device per year. For 10 devices on a one-year term, Bitdefender lists GravityZone Small Business Security at $324.99, Business Security at $384.99 and Business Security Premium at $879.99, and its business campaign page currently shows "30% OFF" on all three, bringing them to $227.49, $269.49 and $615.99 [1]. The smallest online purchase is one device of Small Business Security at $34.99 a year before the discount [2]. GravityZone Business Security Enterprise has no public price; Bitdefender tells buyers to get a license key from a Bitdefender partner [3].
Bitdefender also sells home plans such as Total Security on its home products page [4], but this page covers business plans only. Below are the tier prices, minimums and extras, and how they compare with four alternatives. For a consumer-suite angle, see our Bitdefender vs Norton for small business comparison.
How we chose
We compared Bitdefender's four GravityZone business tiers with four alternatives a small-business buyer is likely to compare. Every price and feature comes from the vendors' own product and pricing pages, read on 2026-11-08 in US dollars. Where pages use calculators, we state the device count and term behind each number. We did not buy, install or run these products, so this compares published prices and plan descriptions only.
Bitdefender price by plan: what each GravityZone tier costs
| Plan | 10 devices, 1 year (list) | With current 30% off | Smallest online purchase | Included modules |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GravityZone Small Business Security | $324.99 [1] | $227.49 [1] | 1 device: $34.99, or $24.49 discounted [2] | Advanced Threat, Ransomware Mitigation, Fileless Attack Protection [2] |
| GravityZone Business Security | $384.99 [1] | $269.49 [1] | 3 devices: $115.99, or $81.19 discounted [5] | Modern Endpoint Protection, Network Attack Defense, Risk Management [5] |
| GravityZone Business Security Premium | $879.99 [1] | $615.99 [1] | 5 devices: $444.99, or $311.49 discounted [6] | Modern Endpoint Protection, Attack Forensics and Visualization, Sandbox Analyzer [6] |
| GravityZone Business Security Enterprise | Not published | Not published | License key through a Bitdefender partner [3] | Endpoint detection and response (EDR) [3] |
At 10 devices, list prices work out to about $32.50, $38.50 and $88.00 per device per year. The price covers "desktops and laptops and up to 30% file servers" and excludes VAT [1]. Small Business Security is "available only for online purchase" [2], and while the product pages say "from 1 to 100" devices [2], the Business Security calculator stopped at 3 devices and Premium's at 5 [5, 6].
Business Security adds Network Attack Defense, Web Access Control, Device Control and Endpoint Risk Analytics, and Premium adds Tunable Machine Learning (HyperDetect), Sandbox Analyzer and "Microsoft Exchange coverage" [1]. On Small Business Security, web and device controls and network attack defense are two add-ons instead, each listed at $41.99 for 10 devices [2].
The current promotion: our affiliate link lands on a Bitdefender business campaign page showing "30% OFF" beside an old price and a subscription price for all three online tiers [1]. The pages we read do not say when the discount ends or what renewal costs, and subscriptions "will automatically renew" unless you cancel auto-renewal [2]. Ask for the renewal price before committing to a multi-year term.
How Bitdefender compares with alternatives
| Product | Best for | Starting price | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bitdefender GravityZone Small Business Security | Small offices that want a published per-device price and online checkout | $34.99 per device per year, or $24.49 with the current 30% off [2] | Online only, 1 to 100 devices [2] |
| Microsoft Defender for Business | Teams already paying for Microsoft 365 | $3.00 per user per month, paid yearly [7] | Up to 300 users and five devices per user [7] |
| ESET PROTECT Core | Teams of five or more that want encryption and device control in the base plan | $274.50 for 5 devices per year [8] | Separate Small Office Protection plan: $179.99 for 5 devices [8] |
| Sophos Endpoint | Buyers who prefer a quote and a reseller | Quote only [9] | "Simple, per-user pricing" [9] |
| CrowdStrike Falcon Go | Very small teams that want monthly billing | $59.99 per device per year, or $7.99 per device per month [10] | Maximum of 100 devices [10] |
Bitdefender GravityZone — public per-device prices, extras cost more
Bitdefender GravityZone is Bitdefender's business security line. For a small office, the main choice is whether Small Business Security is enough or whether Business Security's network and device controls are worth about $6 more per device per year at list price.
Verified features: Small Business Security includes ransomware mitigation and fileless attack protection modules [2]. Bitdefender lists macOS, iOS, Linux and Windows as covered operating systems and counts Linux machines as servers [1].
Pricing: Beyond the table above, Patch Management, Full Disk Encryption, Security for Mobile and Security for Email are add-ons purchased separately [1], and the Business Security page offers a paid onboarding session, GravityZone Setup & Go, at $224.99 [5].
Strengths: Published prices and online checkout let a small team see the full cost without a sales call, and the single-device entry point suits very small businesses.
Limitations: Encryption, patching, mobile and email protection all cost extra [1]. Online purchases stop at 100 devices [2], and Enterprise, the tier Bitdefender describes as including EDR, has no public price [3]. Microsoft Defender for Business lists EDR in its $3.00 per-user plan [7], so Bitdefender's entry price includes less. ESET Small Office Protection costs $204.99 for 10 devices [8], less than Small Business Security even after Bitdefender's discount.
Best fit: Offices with 1 to 100 Windows and Mac devices that want a business console and are not building on Microsoft 365.
Microsoft Defender for Business — EDR included, priced per user
Microsoft Defender for Business is sold on its own or as part of a Microsoft 365 plan [7]; check whether your current plan includes it.
Verified features: Device protection across Windows, macOS, iOS and Android, vulnerability management, next-generation antivirus and "AI-powered endpoint detection and response (EDR) with automatic attack disruption" [7].
Pricing: $3.00 per user per month, paid yearly, on an auto-renewing annual subscription [7]. Each user covers up to five devices, for up to 300 users, with "no minimum device requirement" [7]. That is $36 per user per year.
Strengths: EDR and vulnerability management are in the entry price, and per-user licensing helps when each employee has a laptop and a phone.
Limitations: The 300-user ceiling [7] means a growing company will eventually need another plan, and billing is annual.
Best fit: Microsoft 365 businesses with up to 300 users, especially where each person carries several devices.
ESET PROTECT — Core plan plus a cheaper Small Office option
ESET PROTECT is the name of ESET's business subscription plans, and ESET's homepage offers a business trial [11]. If you were looking for ESET PROTECT Entry, the current US plans page lists Core, Premium and Ultimate, and Core is the lowest-priced [8].
Verified features: Core includes "Next-gen antivirus for computers, servers, mobiles and cloud VMs," firewall, web and device control, and "Quantum-ready encryption"; Premium adds "24/7 MDR with expert-led threat monitoring" [8].
Pricing: Core costs $274.50 for 5 devices or $549.00 for 10 for one year, and Premium is $1,030.00 for 10 devices [8]. ESET Small Office Protection covers up to 25 devices, is managed through the ESET HOME app or portal, and costs $179.99 for 5 devices or $204.99 for 10 [8].
Strengths: Encryption and device control come in Core, while Bitdefender sells Full Disk Encryption separately [1].
Limitations: Core works out to about $54.90 per device per year, well above Bitdefender Business Security's $38.50 at 10-device list pricing, and 24/7 MDR nearly doubles the cost. Small Office Protection tops out at 25 devices [8].
Best fit: Offices of 5 to 25 devices chasing the lowest published price, or teams wanting encryption in the base plan.
Sophos Endpoint — quote-only, per-user pricing
Sophos Endpoint comes with "a free, no-obligation 30-day trial" [12].
Verified features: Sophos says deep learning prevention, exploit mitigation and "CryptoGuard ransomware rollback combine in one lightweight agent that covers Windows, macOS, and Linux" [12]. Its buying page offers Sophos Endpoint, EDR, XDR and MDR levels [9].
Pricing: No public prices. Sophos asks you to request "a free, no-obligation quote customized to your needs" and promises "Simple, per-user pricing with no hidden extras" [9].
Strengths: Per-user pricing suits teams with several devices per person, and you can grow from Endpoint to MDR with one vendor.
Limitations: Without a public price, you cannot compare Sophos with Bitdefender's $34.99 entry point until sales replies.
Best fit: Businesses that buy through a reseller or managed service provider and expect to add managed detection and response.
CrowdStrike Falcon Go — monthly billing for very small teams
CrowdStrike Falcon Go is CrowdStrike's small-business bundle, billed monthly or annually [10].
Verified features: Falcon Prevent next-gen antivirus, Device Control, Mobile Device Protection and Express Support [10].
Pricing: $59.99 per device billed annually, or $7.99 per device billed monthly, and purchases "are limited to a maximum of 100 devices" [10]. Endpoint detection and response is described under Falcon Enterprise, at $184.99 per device billed annually [10].
Strengths: Monthly billing avoids a yearly commitment, and mobile protection is included.
Limitations: At $59.99 per device per year, it costs more than Bitdefender Small Business Security or Business Security at list price, and EDR sits in a higher tier.
Best fit: Very small teams that want monthly billing and mobile coverage.
How to choose
Start with what 10 devices cost for one year:
| Option | 10 devices, 1 year |
|---|---|
| ESET Small Office Protection | $204.99 [8] |
| Bitdefender Small Business Security | $324.99 list, $227.49 discounted [1] |
| Microsoft Defender for Business | $360.00 for 10 users (10 x $3.00 x 12) [7]; less if people share several devices |
| Bitdefender Business Security | $384.99 list, $269.49 discounted [1] |
| ESET PROTECT Core | $549.00 [8] |
| CrowdStrike Falcon Go | $599.90 (10 x $59.99) [10] |
| Bitdefender Business Security Premium | $879.99 list, $615.99 discounted [1] |
| Sophos Endpoint | Quote only [9] |
On Microsoft 365, price Defender for Business first. With one to four devices, Bitdefender Small Business Security sells a single device at $34.99 [2], while ESET Small Office Protection is aimed at "5–25 devices" [8]. Need encryption included? ESET Core has it [8]; Bitdefender charges extra [1]. Need monthly billing? Falcon Go [10]. Want someone else watching alerts? Look at ESET Premium or Sophos MDR [8, 9]; Bitdefender offers a separate Managed Detection and Response service [3].
If you are also building internal systems that hold customer records, such as a custom CRM, plan device policies and in-app access controls together so a lost laptop does not expose the whole database.
FAQ

For 10 devices on a one-year term, Bitdefender lists Small Business Security at $324.99, Business Security at $384.99 and Business Security Premium at $879.99, currently shown at $227.49, $269.49 and $615.99 with 30% off [1]. Enterprise is licensed through partners [3].
What does Bitdefender GravityZone pricing look like per device?
One device of Small Business Security lists at $34.99 a year [2]. At 10 devices, list prices work out to about $32.50 per device for Small Business Security, $38.50 for Business Security and $88.00 for Premium [1].
Is the Bitdefender cost lower than Microsoft Defender for Business?
Microsoft charges $3.00 per user per month, paid yearly, covering up to five devices per user [7], or $36 per user a year. Bitdefender Small Business Security lists at $34.99 per device per year [2], so Bitdefender is slightly cheaper at one device per person and Microsoft is cheaper beyond that.
Does Bitdefender pricing cover servers?
Partly. The price covers desktops and laptops "and up to 30% file servers," and Linux machines count as servers [1]. If servers are a larger share of your fleet, confirm pricing with Bitdefender.
How long does the 30% Bitdefender discount last?
The campaign page shows "30% OFF" on all three online tiers [1] but does not say when it ends or what renewal costs. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel auto-renewal [2].
Our recommendation
On Microsoft 365, price Defender for Business first, since its $3.00 per-user plan includes EDR. Otherwise, Bitdefender GravityZone is a sensible default for teams that want a public price list: start with Small Business Security, and step up to Business Security for device and web controls. If price decides it for 5 to 25 devices, ESET Small Office Protection is cheaper at 10 devices. Pick ESET Core for built-in encryption, Falcon Go for monthly billing, and Sophos to buy through a partner.
