Why Transparent IT Pricing Matters

πŸ“‰

No per-ticket billing

Per-ticket and hourly models reward IT companies when things break. Our fixed fee means we profit when your systems stay up β€” our incentives match yours.

πŸ“…

Predictable budgeting

One fixed monthly amount makes IT a planned operating cost, not an emergency expense. Your financial manager will thank you.

🀝

Trust from day one

If a company won't tell you its price, what else isn't it telling you? Clear pricing is how we earn long-term clients β€” 92% renew after their first term.

What Does R8,500/Month Actually Replace?

A single junior IT technician in Johannesburg costs R25,000–R35,000/month before UIF, medical aid, leave, training and tools. A mid-level engineer costs R45,000–R65,000. And when they're on leave or sick, you have no IT at all.

The MBICT Business plan gives you a whole team β€” helpdesk, network, security and Microsoft 365 specialists β€” for a fraction of one salary.
