IT Service Providers & MSPs: Add New Monthly Recurring Revenue with Monitoring Software

No new product development. Minimal extra workload. Use Wolfeye live screen monitoring to build an additional recurring revenue stream on top of your existing managed services.

Add additional monthly recurring revenue as an MSP or IT service provider with one focused monitoring product

Your managed service clients already pay you monthly.

They already trust you with their IT infrastructure and security.

At the same time, many of them are actively looking for simple, practical ways to improve productivity and transparency — without complex enterprise tools or risky AI experiments.

One of the most straightforward and profitable add-ons you can offer in 2025/2026 is live screen monitoring as a managed service module.

Many MSPs and IT service providers using Wolfeye report that they have built meaningful, recurring revenue streams on top of their existing contracts by packaging live monitoring as a premium “productivity & transparency” service. The examples on this page show what that can look like in practice. Actual results will vary by market, pricing and client base.

Example Revenue Model: How the Recurring Math Can Work

The following is a typical example model based on partner-reported data. It is for illustration only and not an earnings guarantee.

• MSPs pay Wolfeye partner pricing from around $72/PC/year (volume-dependent)
• They charge their clients between $120–$150/PC/year as part of a managed “productivity & monitoring” add-on
• Indicative gross margin: approx. $48–$78 per PC per year (before your internal costs)
• Example: 50 clients × 25 PCs = 1,250 PCs → approximately $60,000–$97,500 margin/year ≈ $5,000–$8,125/month
• Example: 100 clients × 35 PCs = 3,500 PCs → approximately $12,000–$22,750/month margin

These are illustrative scenarios to show the potential scale when live screen monitoring is rolled out across an existing client base. Your actual margins, prices and uptake will depend on your specific market, costs and pricing strategy.

Partner Scenario #1 – MSP in North America (self-reported)

Profile: Mid-sized MSP with approx. 180 managed clients
Approach: Started with a small pilot, then rolled out to additional customers as an optional module.

• Initial pilot: 10 customers (around 280 PCs) on a “productivity monitoring” add-on
• After 14 months: approx. 1,880 PCs covered with Wolfeye
• Retail price: about $129/PC/year → partner cost near $69 → indicative margin around $112,800/year (≈ $9,400/month)
• Average installation time: reported as under 2 hours per client using GPO/Intune for rollout
• Ongoing effort: partner reported less than 15 minutes per client per month in support and review

Note: All figures in this example are simplified, rounded and self-reported by the partner. They are not audited and are not a guarantee of future results.

Partner Scenario #2 – MSP in Latin America (Mexico & Colombia, self-reported)

Profile: MSP with around 65 active business clients
Positioning: Offers Wolfeye under a white-label brand as part of its standard managed services bundle.

• Packages the solution as “ProductivityGuard Pro” inside a $299/month managed service plan
• Currently around 1,420 PCs under monitoring
• Reported average margin of about $98/PC/year → approx. $139,000/year (≈ $11,600/month) gross margin
• No additional full-time staff hired for this line of business; handled by existing team and Wolfeye support

Note: Again, these numbers are partner-reported examples and are provided only to illustrate what is possible with the model. They are not typical for every market and are not a promise of earnings.

5-Step Playbook to Launch Monitoring as a Recurring Service

1. Join the Wolfeye Partner Program. Registration usually takes just a few minutes.
2. Get demo access & templates. Use the white-label demo, sales deck and proposal templates to position monitoring as a “productivity & transparency” add-on.
3. Start with 5–10 existing clients. Offer it first to your most process-driven customers (agencies, call centers, software teams, back-office).
4. Roll out silently via GPO/Intune. Use the deployment scripts for quick, low-friction installation on all Windows PCs.
5. Review, refine, then scale. Collect feedback, adjust pricing if needed, and then extend the module to more clients and sites.

You stay in control of how you package, brand and price the service. Wolfeye operates in the background, while you remain the main point of contact for your customers.

Conclusion

Live screen monitoring as a managed service can be a powerful additional revenue stream for IT service providers and MSPs.

By combining your existing client relationships with a clear “productivity & transparency” offering, you can create new recurring income without having to build your own software product.

The examples above show what some partners have achieved with Wolfeye – your own results will depend on your pricing, market, sales execution and client base.

If you want to explore this opportunity, you can start by testing Wolfeye internally, then packaging it as an optional module for a handful of trusted clients – and grow from there.
