The 5-year math: Brivo vs. an on-prem system

Own it (on-prem)

  • Server or appliance to buy & maintain
  • Software maintenance renewals
  • On-site IT time, patching & backups
  • Forklift upgrade in year 6–8

Subscribe (Brivo)

  • Predictable monthly cost
  • Hosting, updates & new features included
  • No server to own or patch
  • Scales per door as you grow

It's why most multi-site and growing clients choose access control as a service over owning another server. Full architecture trade-offs: cloud vs. on-prem access control.

FAQ

Brivo pricing questions, answered

How much does Brivo cost per month?
Software starts at $10/month base plus $18.50/month per reader for the first two doors at list (Standard edition). A typical 2-door office runs about $47/month; a 10-door building runs roughly $167–$360/month depending on edition.
How much does Brivo cost per door installed?
For most Southern California commercial buildings, budget $1,500–$2,800 per door all-in for hardware and professional installation, with the low end for clean retrofits that reuse existing door hardware and cabling.
Is Brivo cheaper than a traditional access control system?
Upfront, roughly comparable. Over five years, Brivo usually wins for multi-site or growing organizations once you count the servers, software maintenance, and IT labor an on-prem system needs.
Can Brivo reuse my existing readers and wiring?
Often, yes — Brivo's Mercury-based controllers and open hardware approach are specifically good at migrating legacy systems. A site walk tells us what's reusable, which can meaningfully cut installed cost.
What's the difference between Standard, Professional, and Enterprise?
Admin counts, identity/SSO integrations, API access, and multi-site tooling. Most single-site clients run Standard; multi-site portfolios usually justify Professional; Enterprise fits large portfolios with identity-management integration.
Does WCC service Brivo systems after installation?
Yes — we design, install, and support under one contract, including ACaaS programs where ongoing service is built into the monthly.
