Why Pricing Xcitium Is a Different Calculation
When Indian businesses ask about Xcitium Endpoint Security pricing, the first instinct is to compare it line-for-line with a traditional antivirus renewal. That comparison misses the point — and often leads to a misleading conclusion that Xcitium is "expensive."
Xcitium is not an antivirus. It is an Endpoint Protection Platform (EPP), Endpoint Detection and Response (EDR), and Open XDR platform built on a fundamentally different architecture: ZeroDwell Containment. Every unknown file or process is isolated in a virtual container before it can touch the real system — registry, file system, network — and is analysed by the Valkyrie cloud platform (AI plus human threat intelligence) before being trusted or blocked.
The right pricing comparison is therefore:
- Legacy AV (e.g. Seqrite, Bitdefender) + a separate EDR tool (e.g. CrowdStrike Falcon Go or SentinelOne Singularity) + SIEM integration licences
- vs. Xcitium as a single unified platform
When you frame it that way, the total cost of ownership frequently shifts in Xcitium's favour — especially for Indian SMEs and mid-market companies that cannot afford CrowdStrike or SentinelOne pricing at full scale.
This guide covers every pricing variable you need to evaluate Xcitium for your organisation in India during 2026.
Xcitium Product Tiers — What Each Includes
Xcitium is sold in three broad tiers, each building on the last. Understanding the boundaries between tiers is essential before you can model a cost.
Tier 1 — Xcitium Endpoint Security (EPP + Core EDR)
This is the entry point for organisations moving from traditional AV. It combines:
- ZeroDwell Auto-Containment for all unknown files and processes
- Real-time file reputation check against Xcitium's global threat intelligence
- Valkyrie cloud analysis for unknown submissions
- Basic EDR telemetry: process trees, file activity, network connections
- Xcitium Dragon Platform cloud management console (no on-premises server required)
- Device control, firewall, web filtering
- Support for Windows 10/11, Windows Server 2012–2022, macOS, Linux
This tier is appropriate for SMEs that need to get off legacy signature-based AV and want genuine zero-day protection without a dedicated SOC team.
Tier 2 — Xcitium Advanced EDR
Everything in Tier 1, plus:
- Deep EDR investigation: full process genealogy, memory forensics, attack chain visualisation
- Threat hunting queries across all endpoints from the Dragon console
- Automated remediation playbooks
- MITRE ATT&CK mapping for every alert
- Extended Valkyrie analysis with priority human analyst review
- Root cause analysis reports
This tier is appropriate for organisations with an internal IT security function or a part-time security analyst who needs proper investigation tools.
Tier 3 — Xcitium Open XDR
Everything in Tiers 1 and 2, plus:
- Open XDR integration layer connecting 200+ third-party tools: Splunk, IBM QRadar, Microsoft Sentinel, Palo Alto Cortex XSOAR, ServiceNow, and others
- Unified detection and response across endpoints, network, cloud, email, and identity sources
- Correlated incident view across the entire environment
- API-based data ingestion from custom log sources
- Shared threat intelligence across connected tenants
This tier is relevant to enterprise accounts, MSSPs, and organisations already running a SIEM who want to unify detection across multiple control planes from a single console.
Optional — Xcitium MDR / SOC Service
Above Tier 3, Xcitium offers a fully managed detection and response (MDR) service where Xcitium's own SOC analysts monitor your environment 24×7, triage alerts, investigate incidents, and initiate response actions. This converts endpoint security from a software cost to a managed service cost — relevant for organisations without internal security headcount.
Xcitium Licensing Model
Xcitium licences are sold on a per-endpoint, per-year basis. The key variables are:
Endpoint type: Workstations (desktops and laptops) are priced separately from servers. Servers carry a higher per-unit cost because they represent higher-value targets, generate more telemetry, and typically require more EDR depth. Mobile endpoints (Android, iOS) may be bundled or priced separately depending on the tier.
Tier selection: You can mix tiers across your environment — for example, Tier 1 on standard workstations and Tier 2 on servers and finance department machines — though most organisations choose a consistent tier for management simplicity.
Subscription term: Annual licences are standard. Multi-year commitments (2-year, 3-year) attract discounts. Cloudfy Systems can structure multi-year deals with GST-compliant annual invoicing, which is the preferred model for Indian businesses managing IT budgets on a financial-year basis.
Seat count band: Volume pricing applies at defined thresholds (see section below). Organisations with 25+ seats qualify for the first volume tier.
Add-ons: MDR/SOC, premium Valkyrie analysis, and extended threat intelligence feeds are priced separately as optional modules.

Total Cost of Ownership: Xcitium vs Separate Tools
The TCO argument for Xcitium becomes clearest when you enumerate what a comparable security stack would cost if assembled from separate tools.
A typical Indian mid-market company with 150 endpoints that wants genuine EDR capability might otherwise buy:
Option A — Traditional stack:
- Seqrite Endpoint Security or Bitdefender GravityZone Business Security (AV/EPP layer)
- A separate EDR platform such as SentinelOne Singularity Commercial or Microsoft Defender for Business
- A SIEM or log aggregation tool for unified visibility
- Staff time to integrate and operate three separate consoles
- Separate support and renewal contracts for each vendor
Option B — Xcitium Unified:
- Single Xcitium subscription covering EPP + EDR + optional XDR
- Single Dragon Platform console for all management
- Single vendor support relationship
- No on-premises management server to maintain (fully SaaS)
- Valkyrie analysis included — no separate threat intelligence feed purchase
The integration overhead alone — connecting an EDR to a SIEM, training staff on two consoles, managing two renewals — adds real operational cost that does not appear on a per-seat price comparison. For Indian businesses without a dedicated security operations team, this operational simplification is a genuine financial benefit.
Optional Add-Ons
MDR / SOC Managed Service
Xcitium's managed detection and response service adds 24×7 SOC monitoring by Xcitium's own analysts. They triage every containment event, investigate alerts, and initiate response actions without requiring any in-house security staff. For Indian SMEs and mid-market companies that cannot justify hiring a full-time security analyst, this is often more cost-effective than the salary alternative. Pricing for MDR is quoted separately based on seat count and tier.
Valkyrie Premium Analysis
The standard Xcitium licence includes Valkyrie AI analysis and standard-queue human review. The premium Valkyrie tier offers faster human analysis SLAs, priority queue processing, and detailed PDF threat reports per sample — useful for organisations in regulated sectors that need documented evidence of threat disposition for compliance purposes.
Extended Threat Intelligence
Xcitium's global threat intelligence network is included in all tiers. Some enterprise deployments integrate additional third-party threat intelligence feeds (e.g. Recorded Future, MISP feeds) through the Open XDR integration layer. These feeds are priced by the intelligence provider, not by Xcitium.
Volume Pricing and Bundles
Xcitium uses seat-band pricing that rewards larger deployments. While exact INR pricing is not published publicly and varies by region and reseller margin, the general structure for Indian deployments through authorised partners is:
1–24 seats: Standard per-seat rate, annual subscription
25–99 seats: Volume discount tier 1 — meaningful reduction on the per-seat rate for workstations; server pricing discounted independently
100–499 seats: Volume discount tier 2 — significantly lower per-seat cost; multi-year options become most attractive at this band
500+ seats: Enterprise pricing — custom quote based on mix of workstations, servers, and mobile endpoints; MDR bundling often included; annual or multi-year ELA (Enterprise Licence Agreement) available
For Indian businesses, GST at the applicable rate applies to all software subscription invoices. Cloudfy Systems issues proper GST tax invoices with HSN codes, which are required for input tax credit claims. This is particularly important for companies under GST registration who want to offset the licence cost against their tax liability.
Multi-product bundles are also available if your organisation is also evaluating Xcitium Open XDR or the MDR service — bundling these with the endpoint licence typically attracts additional commercial benefit compared to buying each product separately.
Pricing for Different Organisation Types
Startups and Small Businesses (10–50 seats)
For very small deployments, Xcitium Endpoint Security (Tier 1) is the typical entry point. The ZeroDwell containment model means you get genuine zero-day ransomware protection without needing dedicated security staff — the Dragon Platform console is designed to be managed by a generalist IT administrator. Contact Cloudfy Systems for current INR pricing in the 10–50 seat band.
SME and Mid-Market (50–250 seats)
This is where Xcitium's TCO advantage is most pronounced. At this size, the cost of a separate EDR tool on top of an AV licence typically exceeds the cost of Xcitium Advanced EDR as a unified platform. Most organisations in this band choose Tier 2 (Advanced EDR) for the full investigation capability. Mixed deployments — Tier 1 on general workstations, Tier 2 on servers and high-risk roles — are also common.
Enterprise and Multi-Site (250+ seats)
At enterprise scale, Xcitium Open XDR becomes relevant — particularly for organisations already running Splunk, Microsoft Sentinel, or IBM QRadar who want to feed endpoint telemetry into their existing SIEM. ELA pricing and MDR bundles are standard at this level. Cloudfy Systems can facilitate multi-site deployments across Indian offices with centralised Dragon Platform management.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Xcitium Endpoint Security priced per device or per user?
Xcitium licences are per endpoint (per device), not per user. A single user with a desktop and a laptop would consume two licences. Server licences are counted separately from workstation licences and are priced at a higher rate. Mobile endpoints (Android, iOS) may be bundled with workstation licences depending on the tier and deal structure — confirm this with Cloudfy Systems when requesting a quote.
Can I mix tiers — for example, Advanced EDR on servers and basic Endpoint Security on workstations?
Yes, mixed-tier deployments are technically supported within the Dragon Platform console. Some organisations choose Tier 2 (Advanced EDR) for servers and finance/executive machines while using Tier 1 on general workstations to manage cost. However, most IT administrators prefer a uniform tier for operational simplicity and to avoid gaps in investigation capability across the estate. Cloudfy Systems can help you model the cost difference between a uniform and a mixed deployment.
Does Xcitium pricing include the Dragon Platform cloud console?
Yes. The Dragon Platform is Xcitium's SaaS management console and is included in all tiers at no additional charge. There is no on-premises management server to licence, deploy, or maintain. This is a genuine cost saving compared to endpoint security products that charge separately for their management infrastructure or require on-premises server hardware.
How does Xcitium compare in price to CrowdStrike or SentinelOne for Indian businesses?
CrowdStrike Falcon and SentinelOne Singularity are priced at a premium that typically makes them inaccessible for Indian SMEs below 200 seats without significant budget commitment. Xcitium's per-seat cost is positioned more accessibly for the Indian market, while offering comparable or superior zero-day coverage through ZeroDwell Containment — an architecture that neither CrowdStrike nor SentinelOne replicates. For a direct cost comparison against a specific competitor, contact Cloudfy Systems with your seat count and current renewal cost.
Does Cloudfy Systems provide a trial before purchase?
Xcitium offers evaluation licences for qualified organisations. Cloudfy Systems can facilitate a proof-of-concept deployment for organisations evaluating Xcitium against an existing endpoint security tool. The evaluation typically runs for 30 days on a representative subset of endpoints and includes access to the Dragon Platform console and Valkyrie analysis. Contact us at +91 97600 50555 to arrange an evaluation.
