In QuoteCloud a managed services agreement is an interactive price table: repeating rows priced per user, per device, per server or per site, with Term and Monthly columns beside once-off onboarding. Offer your tiers as a single choice, let clients change user counts and the term, and the monthly, once-off and contract totals recalculate.
A sample managed services agreement from a fictional MSP, Quillfield IT, for Thornbury & Webb. The client's estate is counted first: 42 users, 51 laptops and desktops, 2 servers, 2 offices, 42 Microsoft 365 seats and 51 devices with managed detection and response. Each count becomes a monthly price line: Managed IT Standard 42 × $85, device management 51 × $9, managed servers 2 × $145, managed firewall and switching 2 × $120, Microsoft 365 Business Premium 42 × $37, Microsoft 365 backup 42 × $5 and MDR 51 × $12. The agreement comes to $6,935 a month ex tax, $6,240 once-off and $255,900 over 36 months.

Per user, per device, per server, per office
Each unit is its own repeating row from your price book, beside the once-off onboarding. Quantity editing on users and devices lets the client correct a count, and the term switch shows the value over 12, 24 or 36 months.

Sample agreement · QF-4108
The whole term, before anyone signs
Standard for 42 users, 51 devices, two servers, two offices, Microsoft 365 and MDR: $6,935 a month plus $6,240 onboarding, shown as the value of the agreement over the 36 months the partners chose.
Renewals, true-ups & seat changesEvery rate from one price book
Your tiers, per-device and per-server rates, Microsoft 365 seats and onboarding live in the product catalogue with a SKU, category, price, cost and billing term. Reps add lines from it, so every agreement uses the same rates.
When your rate card or a distributor's prices change, import them by CSV with column mapping. For plan-based selling, the optional Contract Plans add-on keeps a plan's term, start and expiry dates and its products together.
- SKU, category, price and cost, with profit and margin calculated
- Recurring products with a billing term and a duration in months
- Active, Draft and Inactive statuses for products you're adding or retiring

Per-user and per-device pricing questions
How do MSPs price per user and per device in QuoteCloud?
Put each unit on its own repeating row in a price table: the support tier per user, device management per device, servers and offices per unit, and Microsoft 365 per seat, each with Term and Monthly columns. Onboarding sits beside them as a one-off row. The monthly, once-off and whole-term totals are calculated for you. Price tables are on Essentials and above.
Can clients change the number of users or the contract term?
Yes, where you allow it. Enable Quantity Editing on the lines the client may change, such as users and devices, and Enable Term Editing for 12, 24 or 36 months. The monthly, once-off and total contract value recalculate on the page, and the signed agreement records the client's final choices.
Can I offer good, better and best support tiers?
Yes. Show your tiers as a single-choice group in the agreement, with what each one includes. The tier the client picks sets the name and price of the per-user line and every total. Each tier's price is one you set: QuoteCloud does not apply volume or tiered discounts by rule.
Does QuoteCloud bill the monthly managed services fee?
No. QuoteCloud prices the agreement, collects the signatures and can take a payment on signing, such as onboarding, through Stripe or PayPal. The monthly charges are invoiced from your PSA, billing or accounting system. Signed agreements can reach those tools through native integrations on Business or through Zapier from Essentials.
Can device counts come straight from my RMM?
No. There is no native RMM or PSA integration, so your team enters the user, device and server counts in the agreement from the discovery call or your own reports. Where you switch on quantity editing, the client can correct a count before signing, and the totals follow.
Is there a managed services agreement template?
Yes. The IT Services Proposal, Computer Service Contract and Service-Level Agreement templates are a starting point. On Essentials, Business and Enterprise trials, QuoteCloud also converts one of your existing templates for free, so your own agreement and rate card can be in place from the first quote.
