the budget-neutral swap
Two Products. One Renewal Budget.
As of August 2026, yes. D3 prices the full agentic SOC, with a complete SOAR underneath it, against the SOAR renewal quote you were already going to sign. You get two products on one contract, one console, and one audit trail. Your budget line already exists and it is already approved.
Morpheus is the accountable agentic SOC platform. The agentic layer investigates the alert. The SOAR layer executes the response. Both run under the same approval gates and write to the same audit trail, so one agreement covers work that used to take two. That is what consolidation is worth.
Bring the renewal quote and your monthly alert volume. Best timed six to nine months before your renewal date.
what you get
Two Products, One Contract, One Audit Trail
The agentic SOC investigates. The SOAR responds. The migration harness moves what your team already built.
The full agentic SOC
Morpheus investigates up to 95% of alerts at L2 depth in under two minutes. When Morpheus is uncertain, it defers to a human. Every closed investigation carries its evidence, its reasoning path, and the recommended action, so an analyst reviews the work and moves on.
The full SOAR underneath
The response layer is a complete modern SOAR with 800+ integrations, case management, and reporting. It ships inside the same subscription as the reasoning, so the containment action and the investigation that justified it live in one record.
The migration harness
Porting scripts convert the playbooks and reporting your team already built, and the work runs as a fixed-scope program with named owners and a defined end date. The automation investment you made moves with you.
The no-code playbook builder
Analysts describe what should happen in plain language, Morpheus drafts the playbook, and the draft shows what it will do before it runs. Changing automation takes an afternoon.
What consolidation changes
Two contracts become one. Two renewal cycles become one. Two audit trails become one. Procurement reviews a single vendor, security operates a single console, and the auditor reads a single record of what happened, who approved it, and why.
The Renewal Moment: The Budget Already Exists.
Most security teams do not go shopping for an agentic SOC. A quote lands, and the question opens on its own.
At renewal, the money is already in the plan. The line item exists, finance has approved it, and nobody has to build a new business case to spend it. Twelve months later the same decision needs net-new budget in a cycle that has already been allocated, and it competes with every other request on the roadmap. Moving at renewal is the least expensive version of this decision for exactly that reason.
Renewal is also the one point in the contract where you control the calendar. You set the start date, the migration window, and the overlap period where both platforms run while playbooks are validated. Once the renewal is signed, you are planning around a term you no longer control.
The operational argument points the same direction. Migration is easier while the current playbooks are still supported and the people who wrote them are still on the team. Automation that runs every day is straightforward to port. Automation nobody has opened in two years turns into archaeology.
The real competitor here is inertia. Renewing takes one signature and no meetings, which is why most teams do it. That is a defensible choice in a busy quarter. It is worth making that choice deliberately, with the comparison in front of you.
Two versions of the same renewal date
You are going to spend the money either way. The only open question is what the money buys.
Renew As-Is
One product, one more year
The queue stays the size it is today. Playbook maintenance stays with the same two people who already carry it. When the agentic triage conversation comes back around, and it will, it arrives as a second contract stacked on top of this one.
Swap At Renewal
Two products, same budget line
Agentic triage and the SOAR arrive together on one contract and one audit trail. Once the response layer is live, contained incidents close at 18 minutes MTTR vs 4 to 6 weeks.
Same date, same approval, same signature. What differs is the scope of what you own the morning after.

What Qualifies
Terms belong in your agreement. The shape of the conversation is public, so you can tell in five minutes whether this applies to you.
What your account team looks at
Qualification turns on facts you already have in front of you. Most of it comes off the renewal quote and a single number from your SIEM.
- You are inside the renewal window on an existing SOAR or security automation contract.
- You can share the renewal quote or the current contract value with your account team.
- You have a monthly alert volume and an approximate playbook count. A rough count is enough to start.
- You are consolidating, so investigation and response land on one agreement.
- You have an executive sponsor who approves at the same level that approves the renewal.
- You can run the migration as a scoped program with named owners on both sides.
Before you ask
Scope, timing, and commercial terms are set in your agreement and confirmed in writing by your account team. This page describes the shape of the offer. Your specific agreement will confirm what applies to your program.
the money
Your Expected Cost, in One Line
Read the price the way your finance team will read it.
The formula
Platform Subscription + User Licenses = Your Expected Cost
Two inputs set the number. The Platform Subscription covers the platform. User Licenses cover the people who log in. Together they are Your Expected Cost, and both are written into the agreement before anyone signs it.
The AI is in the platform price, not on a usage meter. Investigation is what the platform does for a living, so the reasoning work sits inside the subscription. Your finance team forecasts one number.
The $0.97 Standard is the public benchmark for what an investigated alert should cost a security program. Use it the way you would use any benchmark, as a reference point when you compare what you pay this year against what you would pay next year.
Under standard Morpheus pricing, the target for a budget-neutral swap is parity with the renewal you were already funding. Your specific agreement will confirm the sizing for your alert volume and your user count. Bring the quote to the call and the comparison takes twenty minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions
The questions buyers actually ask about the offer, the contract, and the money.
Can I get an AI SOC for the price of my current SOAR contract?
As of August 2026, yes. D3 prices the full agentic SOC, with a complete SOAR underneath it, against the SOAR renewal quote you were already going to sign. You get two products on one contract, one console, and one audit trail. Qualification and final terms are set with your account team and written into your agreement.
Is this a discount, or am I actually getting two products?
No. This is consolidation value. You buy two products, the agentic SOC that investigates and the SOAR that executes the response, on a single contract priced against the renewal you were already funding. The value comes from one vendor owning both halves of the job, so one platform covers a workflow that used to need two.
What is included when I swap my SOAR contract for Morpheus?
Three things. The accountable agentic SOC platform for investigation. The full SOAR underneath it for case management, response, and reporting, with 800+ integrations. The migration harness, which uses porting scripts to convert your existing playbooks and reporting and runs as a fixed-scope program with a defined end date.
How do I qualify for a SOAR price match?
Qualification is a short conversation. Your account team looks at where you sit in the renewal window, the current contract value, your monthly alert volume, and a rough playbook count. The framing is consolidation, because the swap puts a second product on the same contract. Terms are confirmed in writing in your agreement.
How much does Morpheus cost per alert?
The $0.97 Standard is the public per-alert benchmark. Your own number comes from the formula: Platform Subscription + User Licenses = Your Expected Cost. The AI is in the platform price, not on a usage meter, so how deeply an alert gets investigated stays a security decision.
Does my price change when alert volume spikes?
Your Expected Cost is set by the Platform Subscription and the User Licenses written into your agreement. The AI is in the platform price, not on a usage meter. Under standard Morpheus pricing, sizing is matched to your alert volume at signing, and your specific agreement will confirm how growth is handled.
When should I start the conversation before my SOAR renewal?
Six to nine months out. That leaves room for a scoped evaluation, a migration plan, procurement, and an overlap period where both platforms run while playbooks are validated. Teams that start inside ninety days usually renew for one more year, because the calendar decides for them.
What happens to the playbooks I already built?
Porting scripts convert existing playbooks and reporting into Morpheus, and the migration runs as a fixed-scope program with named owners on both sides. Anything tied to a tool you are retiring gets rebuilt in the no-code builder, which drafts the automation from a plain-language description and shows you what it will do before it runs.
Can I use a Morpheus quote in my SOAR renewal negotiation?
Teams do, and D3 would rather you run the comparison on real numbers than on a guess. Bring the renewal quote to the call and we will build the side by side with you. If the honest conclusion is that renewing is the right move for your program this year, that is a useful answer to have in writing.
