What’s actually different
Buyer brief
Updated 2026-03-08
Fit. Both sell through MSP partners and were founded by intelligence community alumni. The difference is how much control your MSP retains over what the SOC does.
Response. Huntress offers two modes: pre-authorization (SOC acts on confirmed threats) and click-to-approve (MSP reviews each incident first). Blackpoint gives the SOC full autonomy with no approval option. If your MSP wants to review before the SOC isolates an endpoint or disables an account, Blackpoint doesn't support that.
Cost and scope. Huntress publishes a <1% false positive rate for EDR with human review of every alert before it reaches partners. Blackpoint publishes no FP rate, and MSPs on r/msp note it generates more alerts. Blackpoint includes incident response and full remediation in the base service, which Huntress doesn't. Blackpoint has no Linux agent. Pricing runs $8-15/endpoint/month for Blackpoint versus ~$2.50-3.50 for Huntress EDR, though adding Huntress ITDR, SIEM and training closes the gap.
