The server used for hosting your site already has many software installed in it. Sometimes, it becomes a tedious job to handle all its functions specially, when you don't know all its technical aspects. So, managed hosting providers gives you various services like automated backups, malware scanner and removal, security sweeps and many more. All these additional services are managed by the managed hosting providers.
Whereas, in unmanaged hosting, host provider will give you a simple server with an operating system installed in it. This means you need to install and maintain all the additional software on your own. The company won't be responsible for any of your management work.
As per my experience, I don't think that managed hosting is overpriced so you can try it.
