For buyers (SMB / mid-market)

If you are tired of demos that start before you know the price, use this directory when you already have a yearly budget and need a shortlist. It is not a 10,000-tool encyclopedia, and it will not invent a “from $X” for sales-quote-only vendors.

Suggested workflow

1. Pick a category (endpoint, email, identity, patch/MDM, compliance, etc.).
2. Filter price clarity: start with Price on their site, then Some price shown. Open sales-quote-only only if you already expect a sales call.
3. Filter yearly budget: bands are planning hints from unit price × plausible seat counts, not quotes.
4. Read the pricing note + sources on each detail page. Re-check the vendor before you buy.
5. Compare 2 to 3 on deploy model, MSP fit, and what they replace. Not star ratings (we don't invent those).

What the labels mean (buyer view)

• Price on their site: you can usually self-serve or cite a primary price page in procurement.
• Some price shown: structure is public; the durable dollar figure needs a live cart or calculator check.
• Price on a marketplace: AWS/Azure listing is the clearest public number; direct deals differ.
• Sales quote only: plan for a sales cycle; we refuse to invent a "from $X".
• No public price: not enough public evidence to show a figure.

Why this directory

Mid-market buyers often waste weeks discovering that transparent cybersecurity pricing is rare. We bias the catalog toward tools where price is findable, and we label the rest honestly, so you can shortlist under budget before a sales call.
