## Canonical Answers
These five questions and answers appear on the cinchops.com homepage and match its FAQPage structured data.

**How do I know what my IT is actually costing me?**
Add up three things: hours your team loses to slow or broken technology, issues that recur month after month, and subscriptions or hardware nobody reviews. Then weigh the total against managed IT at $100–$250 per user per month, flat. Most owners find the waste costs more than the fix, and Shane will walk the math with you in one call.

**What does a business-first IT provider do differently?**
A typical provider measures tickets closed. A business-first provider measures what changed in your business: less downtime, planned spending, fewer repeat problems, and technology decisions tied to your goals.

**Is switching IT providers painful?**
It shouldn't be. Our fix-it-first onboarding tackles your standing problems in the first weeks, so switching feels like relief, not disruption. And month-to-month terms mean we re-earn the job every month.

**What does managed IT cost in Houston?**
For fully managed IT, most Houston-area businesses invest between $100 and $250 per user per month, depending on security requirements, compliance needs, and how complex the environment is. For example, a 25-person company typically invests $2,500–$6,250 per month, and a 50-person company $5,000–$12,500. Most clients save around 30% compared to staffing IT in-house. And it's month-to-month - the price you see is the price you pay.

**Who provides managed IT services in Houston?**
CinchOps provides managed IT services and cybersecurity for Houston businesses from its Katy office, covering companies of 10–200 employees across the metro with on-site support. Help desk requests are answered in under 15 minutes, and pricing is a flat $100–$250 per user per month with no long-term contracts, hidden fees, or cancellation penalties.
