An Atera alternative that doesn't charge you per technician.
Atera prices its plans per technician. That's fair for a solo shop, but every hire adds a seat. SilverTech Master System is priced per workspace: your whole team, unlimited technicians, one bill. It covers the monitoring, alerts, scripting, updates and remote access small IT businesses use most, plus client websites and billing.
The daily RMM work, without the seat count.
An agent on every Windows PC and Mac, a Needs attention list sorted by what matters, a morning email, scripts and built-in tasks you schedule per client, and Connect on every computer card.
- Offline, low disk, failing drive, busy CPU and memory alerts with your thresholds
- Auto-fix: a script that runs the moment an alert appears
- Installed apps on every computer, with remove and push in one click
- Invite every technician you have, each with their own sign-in and the clients you choose
Your clients' websites and billing, next to their computers.
Build fast, phone-friendly client websites with no plugins to patch, run their recurring subscriptions through your Stripe account, and give them a portal to see their own computers, under your brand.
- Website editor with a visual editor, SEO tools and visitor statistics
- Sign-up forms, coupons and one-time charges
- DMARC reports for your clients' email domains

Questions
Can I run SilverTech Master System and Atera at the same time?
Yes. Push the SilverTech Master System agent from Atera as a script, or run its install command on a few PCs. Both agents run side by side, so you can compare before you switch.
Is it cheaper than Atera?
It depends on your team. SilverTech Master System is one price per workspace no matter how many technicians you have, so the more technicians you add, the bigger the difference. See the comparison by team size.
What doesn't it do that Atera does?
There's no ticketing or PSA, no Linux agent and no network discovery. If those are central to how you work, Atera may still suit you better.
How long does switching take?
Installing the agent takes a minute per PC, or one script pushed from your current RMM. Computers appear with a suggested client, ready to assign. Every workspace includes an onboarding session.
