THE PROBLEM

You're not alone.

MSPs looking for a Kaseya alternative all describe the same trap: sign a contract, and your spend can only go up from there.

All Kaseya contracts have a "high water mark" that prevent you from reducing your spend, even if you're higher than your initially committed quantities. Any addon becomes your new commitment.

r/mspReddit

The 365 bundles started showing up at significantly less cost and more products... Wrong, it was more expensive.

r/mspReddit

I have never successfully negotiated a lower price point with Kaseya, but I have with virtually every other vendor.

r/mspReddit

Both required massive upfront setup costs along with insane agreements like 3-5 years... incentivize you to buy more seats even though you may not need them later.

r/mspReddit

Run away from Kaseya, they will bill you for YEARS after you cancel repeatedly... claim they don't have any record of you cancelling.

Spend only goes up

Your bill climbs with every renewal — it never comes back down.

The "savings" call

It ends with a new three-year contract, not a lower bill.

Paying for the whole bundle

You're billed for products whether you use them or not.

THE SHIFT

Renting Kaseya vs. owning your stack.

No high-water mark. No multi-year lock-in. Just an MSP stack that's yours.

KaseyaOld model — what you rent
  • Once you add a seat or product, that's your new floor — forever.
  • Switching "savings" bundles usually means a new multi-year contract, not a lower bill.
  • Negotiating a lower price is nearly impossible once you're locked in.
  • Cancel, and the invoices can keep coming.

New model — Founding.dev

  • You own everything — code, data, and infrastructure
  • One flat price. No per-seat.
  • Change how it works anytime
  • Bank-level security, built in.
  • We build it, and we can run it for you, too

HOW IT WORKS

A proven head start, then it's yours.

Real engineering behind it. Your choice: hands-on or done-for-you.

1

Start from the right base

Start from a proven template with Kaseya's core features — one of ours, a proven open-source base, or built from scratch. An expert-built head start, not a blank page.

2

Make it yours

Customize it to your exact workflow — build the features yourself in plain English, or hand it to our engineering team. Either way you get engineering support along the way.

3

Own it for good

The finished software is yours — code, data, and a setup built around your workflow. Customize it anytime, and we can keep it running for you.

BUILT FOR HOW YOU RUN YOUR MSP

Shaped around how your MSP actually runs.

Growing MSPs

A growing MSP tired of paying more every renewal.

Internal IT

An internal IT team stuck justifying a bundle nobody asked for.

Owners done with lock-in

An MSP owner who wants out of the multi-year cycle.

Kaseya alternative — your questions, answered.

Those commitments are between you and Kaseya, and they're exactly what you're leaving behind. We build your replacement in parallel so it's ready before your term ends, then you move over when the contract is up and stop the renewal cycle for good. You own what we build, so there's no new floor to commit to.
No. A bundle just packages tools together to look cheaper, so you end up paying for pieces you don't use. We build only the features you actually run on, so there's no bundle at all — and anything you do need, you keep and own.
No. You pay one flat price for the whole company instead of per seat or per endpoint, so there's no minimum to hit and no penalty for growing. The bigger you get, the more that flat price saves you — customers have cut their total software bill by up to 70%.
Fill out the short form on Get started — who you are, your company size, the tools you want to replace, and a bit about how you run your MSP. With that, we line up a base template that fits before we talk. On the call, we walk you through that template, look at your current stack, and show what replacing Kaseya — and anything else you're overpaying for — would look like.
