Absolute FAQ

How much does Absolute cost?

Absolute does not publish prices on its own site and sells through device manufacturers, resellers and distributors. The only retrieved listed prices are MSRPs on the AWS Marketplace private-offer listing: $21.95 per device per month for Secure Endpoint Visibility, rising through Control ($39.95), Resilience ($69.95), Resilience for Security ($79.95) and Resilience for Automation ($89.95), each tier including the ones below it.

What costs beyond the subscription should I budget for?

Not publicly disclosed. The vendor's pages retrieved do not mention implementation, onboarding or professional-services fees; on AWS Marketplace all orders are non-cancellable and fees are non-refundable, billed monthly through the AWS bill.

Who is Absolute best suited for?

Enterprise and mid-size IT and security teams that need device visibility, remote remediation and self-healing of mission-critical applications. Absolute Persistence is embedded in firmware by manufacturers including Dell, HP, Microsoft and Lenovo, so it suits organisations with fleets of those devices; a student-device variant exists for education.

What are the alternatives to Absolute, and how do they compare?

The sources retrieved do not include a vendor comparison, so this cannot be answered from verified material. Absolute's differentiator it states itself is Persistence, a firmware-embedded connection that survives OS reimaging, hard-drive replacement and firmware updates, which the vendor says no other technology offers.

How long does it take to implement Absolute?

Not publicly disclosed. The vendor states that Persistence activates in devices whose manufacturers embed it in firmware, and that tier capabilities are enabled via a software license key, but no deployment timeline is given.

How easy is Absolute to learn and use?

Not publicly disclosed by the vendor. A marketplace review (Nov 2025) describes device check-in as slow, sometimes taking 15 to 20 minutes and needing a remote restart, and says initial setup required outside help; this is a single user review, not a vendor claim.

What support is included, and what costs extra?

Customers can log a support ticket from the Secure Endpoint console or contact Absolute support at absolute.com/customers/support/contact/; the AWS listing points to KB articles, documentation and support-level/SLA information. Any premium support tiers and their costs are not publicly disclosed.
