What to know before you choose
- Some Knox tools are free; a paid management platform or setup service may still be needed.
- Compare the exact plan, device count, licence period and renewal cost.
- Request separate prices for handsets, airtime, software, deployment and support.

How much does Samsung Knox cost in the UK?
There is no single price for everything called Samsung Knox. Built-in protection, enrolment tools, paid management software and the service of configuring your phones are separate items. A useful UK quote names the product and licence term, then shows any setup and support charges alongside it.
Samsung's licensing documentation directs businesses to resellers for commercial licences. This guide does not publish an unverified UK tariff. Use the checks below to compare a written quote for the number of devices you actually need.
If you are new to the terminology, start with our Samsung Knox business guide. For the detailed feature matrix, see Base vs Essentials vs Enterprise.
Which Knox tools are free and which are paid?
| Item | Software charge | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Built-in Knox security | Included on supported Galaxy devices | Exact handset features; Knox Vault support varies by model |
| Knox Suite Base Plan | Free on supported Galaxy devices | Your existing management platform and its separate licence |
| Standard Knox Mobile Enrollment | Free | Device registration and the supplier's setup service |
| Knox Platform for Enterprise through Knox Service Plugin | Free Premium licence available | Activation and support for the policies you need |
| Knox Suite Essentials Plan | Paid | Device management, remote support and licence duration |
| Knox Suite Enterprise Plan | Paid, or eligible handset entitlement | Included services, eligibility and renewal cost |
| Knox Configure or Knox Guard | Separately licensed paid services | Their own scope; do not assume every Knox product is bundled |
Free Samsung software can still require administrator time or a paid management platform. Ask the supplier to distinguish the software entitlement from its labour and ongoing service. Samsung sets out the Base Plan's included position in its plan announcement.
What changes a paid Knox quote?
- Plan or individual service: list the required outcome before choosing a bundle. Do you need enrolment, everyday management, firmware control or device analytics?
- Number of devices: identify active phones, shared devices and spares that will be enrolled. Ask how replacements and extra devices affect the bill.
- Licence period: check the start and expiry dates, renewal basis and whether the proposed subscription covers your rollout period.
- Deployment work: identify who registers devices, creates policies, distributes apps and helps staff sign in.
- Ongoing administration: ask who handles lost phones, leavers, policy changes and support requests after the initial setup.
- VAT and payment terms: compare all prices on the same VAT basis and distinguish upfront from recurring charges.
These are purchasing checks, rather than a claim that every supplier prices in the same way. A cheaper software line can be outweighed by omitted deployment work or a support package you do not need.
Does Enterprise Edition include Knox Suite?
Samsung describes a one-year Knox Suite entitlement for Enterprise Edition devices, while stating that licence offerings can vary by country or region. Confirm the exact UK model, included plan, activation process and expiry date in writing. The Samsung Enterprise Edition documentation explains this regional qualification.
Ask for the renewal cost before placing the handset order. An initial entitlement is useful only if it covers the features you will deploy and your business can operate them. Our Enterprise Edition buying guide covers the wider package checks.
Compare the total fleet cost, not just the licence
For your chosen comparison period, add the device and airtime charges, software subscriptions, initial deployment and recurring support. Keep VAT treatment consistent and include any stated annual changes. Business mobile contracts through CTN have a minimum 24-month term; the software licence term is a separate item to confirm.
For example, a proposed 20-phone rollout should show the software total for those 20 devices, any separately charged spare devices, the one-off setup amount and the support total over the same period. This is an illustrative budgeting method, not a CTN price or a claim about a completed customer deployment.
If your business already pays for Intune, ask IT whether it can use Samsung enrolment and policy tools with that platform. Read our Knox with Microsoft Intune guide before adding a second management service.
A quote checklist you can send to a supplier
- Name the Knox plan or standalone product and list the included services.
- State the device count, supported UK models and licence start and end dates.
- Show licence, setup and support charges separately, with VAT clearly identified.
- Explain any Enterprise Edition entitlement and the cost after it expires.
- Identify who owns the business's administrator accounts and manages the devices.
- Explain how additions, replacements, cancellation and renewal will be handled.
Compare The Networks can compare Samsung handsets and business network contracts. Include your Knox requirements when requesting a Samsung quote; software supply, deployment and ongoing management must be explicitly confirmed in the proposal. For a rollout brief, use our small-business setup checklist.
Frequently asked questions
Is Samsung Knox free?
Supported Galaxy devices include built-in Knox protection. Base Plan and standard Knox Mobile Enrollment are free Samsung services. Paid Suite plans, other management platforms and supplier setup services can have separate charges.
What is the UK price of Knox Suite Enterprise?
Request a current written quote for the exact device count and licence period. Samsung directs commercial licence purchases to resellers; this page does not claim a universal UK price.
Are setup and support included in a Knox licence?
Do not assume they are. Ask the supplier to name the deployment tasks and support responsibilities it is pricing separately from the software entitlement.
Will we pay twice if we already use Intune?
Review the required capabilities with your IT provider. Intune can work with Samsung enrolment and policy tools, so a separate Knox Manage subscription may be unnecessary for your requirements.
