SimpleHelp vs NinjaOne

SimpleHelp combines remote support and RMM on a server you control, with concurrent sessions shared by any number of technicians. Standard costs $140 per session to purchase. Business costs $200 per session to purchase, including the first year of support and upgrades; subsequent support renewal starts at $200 per session per year. Enterprise is $400 per session per year. Optional Cyana AI costs $2.40 per machine per year (equivalent to $0.20 per machine per month).

NinjaOne is a cloud endpoint management platform with per-device pricing. SimpleHelp brings remote support and management together with direct control over your deployment and shared session capacity.

Two very different pricing models

Example: ten technicians sharing one active remote connection at a time. SimpleHelp licenses concurrent connections, so you buy the capacity you need rather than a seat for every technician. Product features and capacity limits differ; match these to your workflow.

SIMPLEHELP BUSINESS — ONE SHARED SESSION

$200 / session purchase

Purchase price for one concurrent connection shared by ten technicians. First year includes support and upgrades; subsequent support renewal starts at $200/year. Add sessions to match peak simultaneous connections. Hosting and optional add-ons are separate.

NINJAONE — ENDPOINT PRICING

$3.75 / device / month

Published rate at 50 or fewer endpoints; as low as $1.50/device/month at 10,000 endpoints. For example, 50 devices at $3.75/month equals $2,250/year. Commercial, non-FedRAMP instance only; pricing varies by region and products purchased. Confirm your endpoint count and required products with NinjaOne.

USD. SimpleHelp purchase prices reflect the announced new pricing: Standard $140 per session and Business $200 per session. Renewal costs are shown separately. Competitor annual subscriptions, features, taxes, promotions and regional pricing may differ; confirm the current vendor quote.

What Makes SimpleHelp Different

An icon showing three stacked layers.

One Platform

Remote support, unattended access, monitoring, alerts, scripting, tools, and mass deployment are part of the same SimpleHelp platform.

An icon depicting a stack of servers

Audited Security

Host SimpleHelp on your own infrastructure or in your chosen cloud. Keep control of server location, access policies and update timing, and align support with your privacy requirements. SimpleHelp v6 was independently code reviewed by Agile Information Security.

Session Pricing

Buy support capacity for the simultaneous connections you need. At the same licensed session capacity, adding technicians or Business managed devices does not increase the core licence cost.

Easy evaluation and optional AI

Evaluate every feature free for 30 days with your own support workflows. Try Cyana AI to investigate issues, deploy fixes across multiple machines, and get diagnostic assistance inside remote sessions, with technician approval before actions run.

Where NinjaOne Is Strongest

NinjaOne is strongest for teams that want a cloud endpoint management platform.

  • It has a broad endpoint management story with RMM, patching, backup, documentation, ticketing, remote access, and automation.
  • The service is hosted in the vendor’s cloud.
  • NinjaOne Remote is included with the platform, and NinjaOne also offers unlimited support and free onboarding.
  • Buyers who want endpoint management as the primary console may prefer NinjaOne's product center.

Trial Checklist

When comparing SimpleHelp with NinjaOne, test the support path rather than only dashboards:

‍

  • connect to an attended and unattended machine
  • create an alert and follow it to technician action
  • run a tool or script across a selected group
  • test how audit history records support and management work
  • compare infrastructure control and update timing
  • try Cyana on a small, low-risk machine group
  • price your real team size and peak concurrency on both plans

FAQ

Is SimpleHelp an endpoint management platform?

SimpleHelp includes endpoint management workflows such as unattended access, live monitoring, alerts, scheduled tool runs, scripting, mass deployment, and audit history.

‍

What is the main reason to choose SimpleHelp?

Choose SimpleHelp when remote support, server control, session-based licensing, and one support-focused platform are more important than adopting a broader cloud endpoint management suite.

‍

Does SimpleHelp include patching?

SimpleHelp includes scripting, scheduled tool runs, and automation workflows that can support maintenance tasks. If patch policy management is a primary buying requirement, compare patching requirements in detail during the trial.
