Atera is an RMM-led IT management platform with helpdesk, ticketing and AI Copilot, priced per technician. Corei is a dedicated AI-native PSA for MSP operations.
Choose Atera if you want PSA and RMM from one vendor in one subscription. Choose Corei if you want a dedicated AI-native PSA that goes deeper on dispatch, quoting, procurement, billing audits and reporting, and you're happy to keep or choose your own RMM.

Atera combines endpoint management and PSA in one product, which means one vendor, one bill and native links between device alerts and tickets. That is a genuine advantage, especially for smaller MSPs.
Corei is PSA-only by design. It focuses on the business system—service desk, dispatch, projects, agreements, quoting, procurement, billing and reporting—and integrates with whichever RMM, backup and security tools you already trust.
Yes. Atera includes AI Copilot, a technician-facing assistant, and promotes autonomous AI agents. Review Atera's documentation for current scope.
Corei's AI sits inside the operating decisions: phone and chat intake become structured ticket drafts, technicians are ranked on proven skill from closed tickets, bookings are sized from similar work, notes are drafted, and routine tickets can be resolved end to end in the modes you allow. Every action records its reason.
Check Atera's current documentation for dispatch and project depth in your plan. Corei adds evidence-based technician ranking, scope-creep detection on projects, interactive quotes with dynamic terms, a digital sales room, and procurement that turns signed quotes into purchase orders.
Atera includes contract billing and invoicing. Corei adds continuous matching of vendor costs to client agreements to surface missed billing, and builds live gauges and QBR material from plain-English requests. Corei never issues, voids, credits or collects on its own.
Moving off a bundled platform means replacing the RMM as well as the PSA, or keeping the vendor's RMM alongside a new PSA. Corei's two-way tandem sync is built first for ConnectWise PSA; if you're on a bundle, plan your RMM decision first and review the path with us in a demo.
Corei uses SOC 2-aligned controls today; its SOC 2 Type II attestation is in progress (see the security page). Ask every vendor for its current attestation reports.
Atera capabilities were reviewed using the vendor's official public product pages and documentation.

Where exact pricing isn't published, contact the vendor for current pricing. Corei capabilities reflect the current pilot release; items marked planned or in progress are not yet generally available.
