Huntress Billing

Huntress Billing & Reports

Overview

Huntress provides billing and summary reports for MSP partners. Billing reports detail per-organization agent counts for invoicing, while summary reports provide security posture overviews for client-facing communications.

Key Concepts

Billing Reports

Billing reports show agent counts per organization for a billing period. Use these for client invoicing and cost reconciliation.

Summary Reports

Summary reports provide security posture overviews including incidents detected, escalations raised, and overall threat landscape — ideal for client QBRs and monthly security reviews.
