Sublime Security alternatives

Sublime Security is a solid choice, but not for everyone. Teams that want a fully hands-off, nothing-to-configure product (look at Abnormal), or anyone who needs a tool that audits payroll data itself rather than the inbox. Here's what to look at instead.

Abnormal AI

Stops the 'update my direct deposit' email before payroll ever sees it

Contact the vendor for current pricing — Abnormal is premium, quote-only email security with no free tier, priced per mailbox on employee count plus paid onboarding (professional services commonly $5k-$25k+). Reported per-mailbox rates work out to a few dollars a month, so a 200-mailbox company should budget low five figures a year before services.8.0/10

IRONSCALES

Per-seat BEC and account-takeover protection priced for SMBs and the MSPs that serve them

Per-user monthly subscription across three tiers (Protect, Email Protect, Complete Protect). IRONSCALES doesn't publish seat prices on its own site, but third-party listings consistently put them around $3.89, $5.49-5.99, and $7.29 per user per month respectively, confirm your quote directly. Free trial, no free tier. An MSP partner program means your IT provider can often add it for you.7.7/10

Microsoft Defender for Office 365

The BEC baseline you may already be paying for inside Microsoft 365

Bundled into Microsoft 365 Business Premium ($22/user/mo), so many SMBs already own Plan 1. Standalone it's about $2/user/mo for Plan 1 and $5/user/mo for Plan 2 (which adds attack-simulation training plus automated investigation and response), billed annually. The real question isn't the price, it's whether you've turned on the anti-phishing and impersonation policies you already have.7.0/10
