Huntress vs Todyl
Buyer brief
Updated 2026-06-01
Huntress and Todyl both sell to MSPs and SMBs, but they solve different problems. Huntress is a modular security platform: Managed EDR, ITDR, SIEM and security awareness training are priced separately. Todyl is a consolidation platform that tries to replace SASE, EDR, SIEM, MXDR, SOAR and GRC with one stack.
For pure MDR buying, Huntress is the more validated and easier-to-understand option. MSP community feedback is strong, G2 volume is high, deployment is fast, and the EDR pricing signal is roughly $2.50-$3.50/endpoint/month. The catch is scope: that price is EDR-only, while identity, SIEM and training add cost.
Todyl's appeal is tool consolidation. A dedicated DRAM works with the customer during incidents through Slack or Teams, and the platform covers more surfaces in one package. But the public starting price of $250/month is a base platform signal, not a clean MXDR quote. Leaving Todyl can also be harder because it may mean replacing several security functions at once. Choose Huntress if you want proven MSP-first MDR with less platform disruption. Choose Todyl if your main pain is tool sprawl and you are comfortable adopting one vendor for most of the stack. Do not compare Huntress EDR pricing directly against Todyl's platform starting price; they are not the same scope.
