# What are the endpoint management adoption patterns among IT managers and system administrators in small organizations?

<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">Hello G2 folks, I'm digging into how small organizations actually adopt endpoint management, based on the small-business reviews in G2's<a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/endpoint-management"> </a><a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/endpoint-management">endpoint management</a> category. Small teams buy differently, price, simplicity, and no dedicated admin all shape the choice. What we're hoping to understand:</p><ul>
<li>What tips small orgs toward one platform over another</li>
<li>How much a free tier or per-technician pricing drives adoption</li>
<li>Whether small teams grow into the tool or outgrow it</li>
</ul><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">A few that show up heavily in small-business reviews:</p><ul>

There&#39;s a difference in how these two pricing models actually fail worth adding to the growth question already asked here. Action1&#39;s free tier up to 200 endpoints doesn&#39;t create a gradual cost curve as a small org grows, it creates a specific cliff at 201 endpoints, where a team paying nothing suddenly faces a full pricing conversation all at once. Atera&#39;s per-technician model scales smoothly instead, costs go up a little at a time as headcount grows, which is a much less disruptive transition even if the total spent ends up similar. &quot;Did it still fit as you grew&quot; probably matters less than whether outgrowing it happened gradually or all at once, since a sudden cliff is a much worse surprise to budget for than a smooth ramp, even from the same starting price.
