Fortinet FortiClient is the endpoint agent in Fortinet's Security Fabric, combining VPN/ZTNA remote access with optional endpoint protection (AV, APT, ransomware defense) in a single managed client. It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, and is centrally managed through FortiClient EMS (Enterprise Management Server).
The free standalone client provides basic VPN connectivity to FortiGate firewalls at no cost, making it attractive for organizations already running Fortinet network infrastructure. The full managed deployment requires both a FortiClient EMS server license and per-endpoint subscriptions, available in VPN/ZTNA and EPP/APT tiers. Pricing is exclusively through Fortinet channel partners — reseller data and user reviews indicate typical costs of $15–$40/endpoint/year depending on tier and volume. Fortinet also offers multi-year terms (1–5 years) with volume pack structures (25, 500, 2,000, 10,000 endpoints).

Fortinet FortiClient Pricing FAQ
01 How much does Fortinet FortiClient EMS cost per endpoint?
FortiClient EMS pricing is not publicly listed — it must be purchased through Fortinet channel partners. Based on user reviews and reseller data, the VPN/ZTNA tier runs approximately $15–$25/endpoint/year and the EPP/APT tier approximately $30–$40/endpoint/year at 100-seat scale. A separate FortiClient EMS server license is also required ($500 for 25 seats as a reference data point). Volume packs of 25, 500, 2,000, and 10,000 endpoints are available.
02 Is FortiClient free to use?
FortiClient offers a free VPN-only client that connects to FortiGate firewalls without central management. The free version lacks endpoint protection, policy enforcement, and compliance features. The full managed deployment requires a FortiClient EMS subscription plus per-endpoint licenses.
03 What is the difference between FortiClient VPN and FortiClient EMS?
FortiClient is the endpoint agent software; FortiClient EMS (Enterprise Management Server) is the central management platform that deploys, configures, and monitors FortiClient across all endpoints. EMS is required for enterprise features like ZTNA, endpoint compliance, and centralized policy management. Both must be licensed separately.
