Why XDRShield Provides Enterprise-Grade Security Software for Free
Every detection capability. Every response action. Every investigation tool. Free to deploy across your entire environment, with no per-endpoint licence cost and no feature gates. Pay only when you need hands-on help with deployment, customization, or dedicated support.
Commercial XDR platforms charge per endpoint, every month. XDRShield charges zero.
Endpoint detection and response has become essential infrastructure. But commercial XDR platforms price it as a premium, charging per endpoint per month. Across hundreds or thousands of endpoints, those per-seat fees add up to a significant annual line item. XDRShield removes that cost entirely.
Spend on the people and responses that matter, not on per-endpoint fees.
No organization should have to choose between protecting more endpoints and staying within budget. The platform that detects threats and manages response should not be one of your biggest recurring costs.
XDRShield moves the endpoint security licence line to zero, so every dollar it used to consume can fund better incident response, hire another analyst, or simply stay in the business.
Full platform, free. Pay only for hands-on services.
XDRShield is free — the complete endpoint security and XDR platform at no licence cost. The only paid options are optional services for organizations that want direct, expert assistance with their specific environment.

Questions about the free model
Is XDRShield really free?
Yes. XDRShield is a free endpoint security and XDR platform with no licence cost, no trial clock, and no feature restrictions. Every detection, response, and investigation capability is included.
Why is Vembu offering XDRShield free?
Enterprise-grade endpoint security should not be reserved for organizations with enterprise budgets. Vembu built XDRShield so every business and MSP can protect endpoints, detect threats, and respond to incidents without a per-endpoint licence cost. Free is the commercial model, not a promotion.
What is the catch?
There is no hidden software cost. XDRShield is free to use with the full platform. Optional paid services are available for organizations that want direct help with deployment, configuration, environment-specific customization, or priority technical support.
What is paid in the XDRShield model?
The software stays free. Two types of paid options are available: environment customization (deployment assistance, policy tuning, integration configuration, and environment-specific setup) and professional support (priority email and phone support, dedicated onboarding, and training). Contact us for pricing.
Do I need to buy anything to keep XDRShield free?
No. XDRShield is free on its own, with no bundle requirement, today or later. Optional paid services are available only when your team needs direct assistance.
Is support included with the free product?
Community support is included for all users — documentation, knowledge base, and community resources. For direct technical support from the XDRShield team, a paid support package is available with priority email and phone support.
How does XDRShield compare to paid competitors?
XDRShield delivers the same core capabilities as commercial XDR platforms: endpoint detection and response, file integrity monitoring, IOC blocking, governed response, case management, and multi-tenant administration. The difference is the price: competitors charge between three and twenty-two dollars per endpoint per month. XDRShield charges zero.
Can MSPs use XDRShield for their clients?
Yes. XDRShield includes multi-tenant administration, customer management, white-label branding, and tenant-scoped policies. MSPs can protect every client endpoint without per-endpoint licence costs eating into their margins.
