How much does SentinelOne cost?

No public pricing retrieved. Notably SentinelOne introduced SINGULARITY CREDITS in June 2026 as a unified currency for AI powered work across the platform, so agent consumption is metered in a platform wide unit rather than per product. Purple AI Agentic Investigation was offered as a complimentary trial with single click activation at launch.

Entry priceContact sales; AI work metered in Singularity CreditsFull pricing detail

Endpoint security leader turned agentic: Purple AI runs zero click autonomous investigations that deliver a verdict with a full evidence chain, while Hyperautomation executes response inside pre approved policies.

SentinelOne built its business on endpoint protection and has moved its centre of gravity to Purple AI, an agentic AI security analyst embedded in the Singularity Platform. The Athena release, announced at RSA 2025, moved Purple AI from an assistant answering analyst questions to a system that reasons and acts, on three stated pillars: deep security reasoning at machine speed, full loop workflows with automation and response, and data source agnostic integration across any SIEM or data lake.

In June 2026 it opened Purple AI Agentic Investigation to all customers. These are zero click, autonomously initiated investigations that detect, investigate, verify and respond without human dependencies, running on telemetry already in the platform with nothing to deploy, integrate or tune and no data leaving the platform. The framing SentinelOne uses is precise and worth borrowing: analysts start at the verdict instead of the alert.

The division of labour is explicit. Purple AI delivers the investigation verdict; Singularity Hyperautomation executes the response automatically, but only within pre approved policies. Every verdict carries a full evidence chain. The underlying models are tuned across trillions of security relevant data points and refined through a closed feedback loop with SentinelOne's own managed detection team and global partners.

Alongside this it introduced Singularity Credits, described as a unified currency for running AI powered work across the platform, and a Purple AI MCP Server that pushes platform intelligence outward into customer built agents.

SentinelOne is unusually candid about limits, acknowledging directly that hallucinations and biased responses still occur and framing humans as supervisors of these systems rather than as bystanders.

Target customers

large enterprisesecurity operations centresmid-marketmanaged security service providers

Deployment options

Singularity Platform cloud

Integrations

Deliberately data source agnostic, operating across any SIEM or data lake without requiring migrations or additional pipelines, and drawing on endpoint, identity, cloud and third party telemetry already in the platform. Singularity Hyperautomation provides no code workflow connection. The Purple AI MCP Server extends the platform's security data and workflows outward into the customer's own AI agents.

In practice

An analyst opens the console to find investigations already completed, each with a verdict and a full evidence chain, rather than a queue of alerts to triage from scratch.

A team keeps its existing SIEM and data lake and adds agentic investigation on top, since the platform is deliberately data source agnostic and requires no migration.

A security engineering team uses the Purple AI MCP Server to pull live platform intelligence into an agent it built itself, rather than working only inside the vendor's console.

Billing mechanics

Not publicly disclosed. Platform subscription sold through direct enterprise sales and channel, with AI powered work metered in Singularity Credits across the Singularity Platform.

Cost watchouts

**The credit model is the thing to model, not the licence. Because Singularity Credits are a platform wide currency rather than a per product meter, AI consumption in one area draws down the same balance as another, so an increase in autonomous investigation volume can quietly consume budget allocated elsewhere.** No credit rate, allocation or consumption rate per investigation was published, so the included allowance cannot be translated into a number of investigations. The agentic capabilities also sit on top of an existing Singularity Platform commitment rather than standing alone.

Variable cost rationale

Consumption is metered in credits whose rate is unpublished, and the work consuming them is autonomously initiated by the system in response to threat activity rather than scheduled by the customer. That combination - an unpublished unit driven by an uncontrollable trigger - is the least forecastable shape encountered in this sweep, and the credits being a platform wide currency means spend in one area depletes the same pool as another.

Additional watchouts

Autonomous investigations are initiated by the system, not the customer, so credit consumption tracks threat volume. Establish the allocation and the per investigation cost before enabling it broadly.

Commercial notes

Public company (NYSE: S), so aggregate financials are visible in filings. **SEVENTH NAMED AGENT CONSUMPTION UNIT IN THIS INDEX AND THE MOST AMBITIOUS FRAMING: every other unit meters one product - airtable AI credits, retool agent hours, superblocks Governed Agent Units, cognition Agent Compute Units, appian AI actions and token limits. Singularity Credits are positioned as a CROSS PRODUCT CURRENCY, which is a different commercial idea: an internal economy rather than a meter. Watch whether competitors follow.**

Key ambiguities

The credit economics entirely: what a credit buys, how many an autonomous investigation consumes, and what allocation each platform tier includes. Given investigations are zero click and autonomously initiated, consumption is driven by threat volume rather than by anything the customer schedules, which is the least controllable kind of driver.

Missing data

All pricing, credit rates, credit allocations by tier, and consumption per investigation.
