Buyers look past SentinelOne Singularity when they want a price they can read in full, a direct purchase instead of a partner, or longer data retention on the entry tier. Most go to CrowdStrike Falcon or Microsoft Defender for Endpoint, smaller teams to Sophos, Bitdefender or ESET.
Short answer: The closest replacements for SentinelOne Singularity in our endpoint protection software ranking are CrowdStrike Falcon, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint and Sophos Endpoint. Choose CrowdStrike Falcon if you want published per-device prices, monthly billing and a trial before you commit. Everything below is drawn from the Best Endpoint Protection Software in 2026 shortlist and judged only against SentinelOne Singularity, including when it is wiser to remain with SentinelOne Singularity.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. The first three alternatives go to challengers, vendors outside the best-known brands in a category, wherever the category has them; the established names follow in their ranked order. How it works: placement disclosure · editorial process.
The pricing page shows Singularity Complete at $179.99 and Commercial at $229.99 per endpoint per year, for 5 to 100 workstations. Enterprise says Contact Sales. A fleet beyond that size, or one that needs Enterprise, is priced in a conversation.
SentinelOne states that all purchases are made through an authorized third-party partner, and that partner pricing controls if it conflicts with the listed prices. The number on the page is therefore a reference, not a quote you can order from.
Complete keeps data for 14 days, Commercial for 90. The terms of service set a twelve-month initial term that renews automatically for the same length unless either side gives written notice at least 30 days before it ends.
Rows follow how closely each product can stand in for SentinelOne Singularity; the closing column is its rank inside our 13-product ranking.

The terms of service renew the subscription for another term of the same length unless written notice reaches the other side 30 days before the term ends. Diary that date, and agree the start of the new product so both agents are not running past it.
On termination the terms require you to uninstall the agent from endpoints within 30 days, and prepaid unused fees are generally not refunded. The terms we read describe no return or export of customer data, so ask SentinelOne in writing what you can take.
Give written notice at least 30 days before the current term ends. The terms of service set a twelve-month initial term that renews automatically for periods of the same length, so missing the date commits you to another term.
The terms of service we read describe no process for returning or exporting customer data, and say nothing on retention after termination. Ask SentinelOne in writing, before the notice date, which logs and alert history it will release and in what format.

You must stop using the solutions and uninstall them from endpoints within 30 days of termination. Plan the replacement agent rollout inside that window so devices are not left without protection.
Generally no. The terms of service state that prepaid, unused fees are not refunded except in certain cases, so line up the end of the term with your replacement purchase.
Yes, several. CrowdStrike offers 15 days with no credit card, Sophos 30 days, WithSecure 30 days with no card, and Microsoft Defender for Business one month with a card. SentinelOne's pricing page offers a demo instead.
