Informational only; affects vendor-fit guidance.

Rank	Vendor	Annual	Per admin/year (effective)	Notes
1	HashiCorp open source free	$0	$0	Boundary Community Edition is free. HCP Boundary bills session-time hours, not per admin; we do not infer a per-admin annual number.
2	Keeper Security per user per month	$11,250	$45.00	Keeper Business password vault ($3.75/user/mo x 12). The dedicated KeeperPAM bundle add-on is quote-only on top of this rate.
3	JumpCloud per user per month	$27,000	$108	Device Management package ($9/user/mo x 12). Platform Prime, which includes JumpCloud Privileged Access Manager, is $288/user/yr.
4	Okta tiered subscription	$51,000	$204	Essentials Suite annual list ($17/user/mo x 12). Premium Suite is $336/user/yr; choose Premium if Identity Governance or Identity Threat Protection are on your RFP.
5	ManageEngine per admin per year	$200,000	$800	Estimate scales the published $7,995/year (10 admins) Standard floor at approx $800/admin/year. Real list-price scaling involves admin packs and key packs.

How we calculate: Annual = privileged admins x published per-admin/year rate from the vendor pricing page. Teleport applies a $0 estimate only when admin count is under the Community Edition cap (100 employees, $10M revenue); above that, Teleport Enterprise is quote-only. HashiCorp Boundary Community is $0 self-hosted; HCP Boundary bills session-time hours, so we do not infer a per-admin number. ManageEngine PAM360 enforces a $7,995/year floor (Standard, 10 admins). All published rates assume annual billing. Full methodology with sources ->

What does this calculator do that vendor calculators don't?

It compares all 15 vendors on the same inputs without asking for your email. Vendor calculators show one vendor at a time and require contact details. Nine PAM vendors will not even show a calculator without booking a demo first.

How we calculate

Annual = privileged admins x published per-admin-per-year rate from the vendor pricing page. For per-user-per-month vendors (Keeper, JumpCloud, Okta) we multiply by 12 to convert to the per-admin/year anchor. For ManageEngine PAM360 we enforce the published Standard floor of $7,995/year for 10 admins and 25 keys. For Teleport, we treat Community Edition as $0 only when admin count is under the Community Edition cap (under 100 employees and under $10M revenue); above the cap, Teleport Enterprise is quote-only and excluded. For HashiCorp Boundary we treat Community Edition as $0 self-hosted; HCP Boundary bills session-time hours, which we do not infer per admin.

What this calculator does not do

It does not include the quote-only vendors in the cost stack. CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea, One Identity, Wallix, Saviynt, StrongDM, KeeperPAM and Segura are surfaced with a contact-sales link rather than an inferred number.
It does not model implementation cost. Onboarding engineering, vault migration, session-broker deployment and policy authoring are typically 200-2,000 engineer-hours depending on vendor and estate complexity. See PAM implementation cost.
It does not model add-on modules. CyberArk Endpoint Privilege Manager, BeyondTrust Privileged Remote Access, Delinea Server Suite are separate quote lines. The headline figure rarely covers the full RFP-compliant scope.
It does not model hardware appliances. Wallix Bastion and One Identity Safeguard ship hardened virtual/physical appliances with their own per-unit and maintenance cost.
It does not model the KeeperPAM add-on price. The KeeperPAM bundle (Connection Manager + Secrets Manager + Remote Browser Isolation) requires Keeper Business or Enterprise as a prerequisite and is quote-only on top.

See methodology for the full source list and verification dates. See quote-only vendors for why we do not infer numbers for the nine sales-led vendors.
