SentinelOne Vigilance MDR Pricing 2026 - Add-On Costs and Total Spend
SentinelOne Vigilance is unique among MDR offerings because it is structured as an add-on to the existing SentinelOne Singularity platform rather than a standalone managed service. This means your total MDR cost has two components: the platform licence (EDR/XDR software) and the Vigilance layer (managed monitoring and response). This pricing model can be confusing for budget planning, but it also provides flexibility - you can start with the platform alone and add managed services when ready, and you only pay for the MDR layer incrementally rather than a completely new bundled price.

SentinelOne Vigilance Pricing Summary
SentinelOne Platform Tiers (Base Cost Before Vigilance)
Before you can add Vigilance MDR, you need a SentinelOne Singularity platform licence. The platform comes in four tiers with increasing capabilities and cost. The tier you choose affects both your base security capabilities and the total cost when Vigilance is layered on top. Most organisations considering Vigilance are on the Complete or Commercial tiers, as these provide the detection depth that makes managed monitoring most effective.
| Platform Tier | Platform Cost | + Vigilance | Total / Month | Total / Year (500 ep) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Core | $49.99/ep/yr | ~$25/ep/yr | ~$6.25 | $37,500 |
| Control | $79.99/ep/yr | ~$30/ep/yr | ~$9.17 | $55,000 |
| Complete | $179.99/ep/yr | ~$35/ep/yr | ~$17.92 | $107,500 |
| Commercial | $229.99/ep/yr | ~$50/ep/yr | ~$23.33 | $140,000 |
Platform tier prices are published list prices. Vigilance add-on costs are estimates from buyer reports. Volume discounts of 15-30% are typical at 500+ endpoints.
What SentinelOne Vigilance Includes
24/7 Threat Monitoring
SentinelOne's MDR analysts monitor your environment around the clock, triaging every alert generated by the Singularity platform. They distinguish true positives from false positives, investigate suspicious activity, and ensure nothing gets lost in alert noise. For organisations without a dedicated security team, this eliminates the most common failure mode of self-managed EDR - alerts that are ignored because nobody is watching.
Alert Triage and Investigation
Every alert is investigated by a human analyst who determines the scope, impact, and appropriate response. The investigation includes root cause analysis, lateral movement assessment, and data exposure evaluation. You receive detailed incident reports with timeline, affected assets, and recommended remediation steps. This level of investigation would require a Senior Security Analyst at $90,000-130,000 per year if done in-house.
Threat Hunting
Proactive threat hunting goes beyond waiting for alerts. Vigilance analysts search for indicators of compromise, suspicious patterns, and emerging attack techniques across your environment. This includes hunting for threats that evade automated detection rules, investigating anomalous behaviour, and validating that security controls are working as expected. Threat hunting catches the attacks that slip through automated defenses.
Incident Response Guidance
When a threat is confirmed, Vigilance provides containment recommendations and response guidance. For automated threats like ransomware, the platform handles containment automatically through isolation and rollback. For complex incidents involving human adversaries, the Vigilance team coordinates with your IT team to execute a response plan. Note that full forensic investigation and legal coordination are not included and require a separate IR engagement.

SentinelOne Vigilance Pricing FAQ
How much does SentinelOne Vigilance cost?
SentinelOne Vigilance costs $17-50 per endpoint per year as an add-on to the Singularity platform licence. However, Vigilance is not a standalone product. You must also licence the SentinelOne Singularity platform, which ranges from $49.99 per endpoint per year for Core to $229.99 for Commercial. The total cost including both platform and Vigilance MDR typically works out to $7-23 per endpoint per month depending on the platform tier and Vigilance level selected.
What is the difference between SentinelOne Vigilance and Wayfinder?
SentinelOne has rebranded and restructured its MDR offerings over time. Vigilance was the original MDR add-on providing 24/7 monitoring and response. Wayfinder is the evolution that incorporates AI-assisted threat hunting and more proactive capabilities. The naming can be confusing because both terms are used in different contexts. For pricing purposes, treat them as the same MDR layer with Wayfinder being the current generation product.
Does adding Vigilance double the cost of SentinelOne?
At lower platform tiers, yes - adding Vigilance can roughly double your per-endpoint cost. If you are on Singularity Core at $49.99 per endpoint per year and add Vigilance at $35 per endpoint per year, your total cost goes from approximately $4.17 to $7.08 per endpoint per month. At higher tiers like Complete ($179.99) plus Vigilance ($35), the MDR add-on represents only about a 20% increase. This makes Vigilance more cost-effective relative to total spend for organisations already on premium platform tiers.
How does SentinelOne Vigilance compare to CrowdStrike Falcon Complete?
These are fundamentally different models. CrowdStrike Falcon Complete is an all-in-one managed service where you pay one price and get everything. SentinelOne Vigilance is an add-on layer where you separately licence the platform and the managed service. The total cost is often similar at enterprise scale, around $18-23 per endpoint per month for SentinelOne Complete plus Vigilance versus $25-45 for Falcon Complete. CrowdStrike's advantage is simplicity and a single vendor relationship. SentinelOne's advantage is flexibility to choose your platform tier and add MDR when ready.
Is SentinelOne Vigilance worth it if I already have the SentinelOne platform?
If you already have SentinelOne deployed and are paying for the platform, adding Vigilance is one of the most cost-effective paths to MDR because you avoid the migration costs of switching to a bundled MDR provider. The incremental cost of $17-50 per endpoint per year for Vigilance is significantly less than switching to Arctic Wolf at $8-25 per endpoint per month or CrowdStrike Falcon Complete at $25-45. The key question is whether you are satisfied with SentinelOne's detection technology. If yes, adding Vigilance is the logical next step.
