Explore How Prophet Delivers AI-Powered Detection and Response
Why MDR is Expensive
Most MDR services were built on manual processes and large, multi-tier analyst teams. That staffing model is expensive, and the cost is passed straight through to you. Some MDRs also apply data-ingest-based pricing: the more telemetry you send, the more you pay. You're paying for headcount and ingestion, regardless of the outcomes.
AI Economics,
Not Analyst Headcount
Prophet AI investigations are fully autonomous, so your price isn't affected by a large analyst headcount. Pricing is per investigation, with no data-ingest fees. You get 100% of alerts investigated by Prophet AI plus 24/7 human assurance from Watchtower's expert team where it matters, without paying for a multi-tier SOC you never see.

Typical reduction of about ~67% versus the average MDR price
The range depends on where you current MDR sits in market pricing : the lower figure compares Prophet(Investigations + Watchtower) against value-priced MDR, the higher against premium MDR. The marker shows the typical case - vs. the average MDR.
For an environment of about 5,000 employees replacing your MDR with Prophet(Investigations + Watchtower) is estimated to lower annual security spend by 48-75% with a typical reduction of ~67% against the average MDR price.
Estimates are planning-grade and for illustration only — not a quote. Prophet figures are modeled from Prophet customer benchmarks (an investigations contract value that scales with company size, plus Watchtower at 50% of that value for MDR-replacement scope). The MDR comparison uses the low, average, and high of midpoint pricing across Red Canary, Expel, Rapid7, and ReliaQuest at comparable sizes. Prophet is an AI-SOC platform; actual scope, coverage, and savings vary by environment.
