Note 1-
Pricing includes the following modules: general ledger, accounts
receivable, accounts payable, payroll, inventory, order entry,
job cost and system manager.
Note 2 -
For Dynamics.NAV (Formerly Navision), the regular pricing
assumes that customers with 10 or less users would not purchase
consolidations, budgeting, or allocations granules; customers
with 25 users would add budgeting and allocations; and 100 users
would add consolidations. Multi-language and multi-currency
capabilities are not included in these price estimates.
Note 3 - It
is interesting to notice that the least expensive products at
one user or five users are not necessarily the least expensive
products at 10 or 25 users. This is because some vendors price
their modules higher, and their incremental user licenses lower
while other vendors employ the opposite strategy. Please note
that a few products do not offer job cost modules. In this case
we have included the price for an additional inventory module
instead - to arrive at a more relevant pricing comparison that
includes 8 core modules across the board. In the case of SAP's
R/3 software, the price includes the complete SAP product line -
not just 8 core modules. ACCPAC discovery provides for a maximum
of 3 users, but not 5 users. Peachtree, QuickBooks Pro 2002 and
others include more than 8 modules in their standard price.
1- CMS
Software is available for 1, 4, or unlimited users with the
following add-ons
Bank
Reconciliation $425, Job Cost $799, Multi-location Inventory
$799, GL Report Generator $599, Payroll (for
accounting/bookkeeping) $425, Payroll (stand alone) $699,
Point-of-Sale $425, On-line Credit Card Authorization $399,
Bar Code Generator (standard) $245, Bar Code Generator
(professional) $495.
2-
QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions is
available in 5, 10, 15, and 20 user license editions.
3- QuickBooks Online
Edition PLUS is available in 3, 10, and 20 user license
editions.
4- Sage BusinessVision
accounting/bookkeeping pricing includes 16 to 18 modules as well
as Crystal report designer and comes in a 30 user edition rather
than 25.
5-
Blackbaud is a non-profit solution
which does not include Inventory, Order Entry, or Job costing;
therefore, I substituted these modules with the Blackbaud's Cash
Management, Fixed Assets, and POS modules. In general, Blackbaud
is priced from $2,000 to $4,000 for core modules, with the
general ledger and POS pricing ranging from $2,000 to $20,000
depending on the number of users.
6-
In addition to the prices as listed,
Sage products call for 18% annual maintenance, required to paid
in the first year.
8-
SYSPRO pricing actually breaks down
as follows: 1-4 users = $12,100, 5-8 users = $14,400, 9-12 users
= $16,800, 13-16 users = $19,200, 17-24 users = $24,000, 25-32
users = $29,600, and some modules require the installation of
others.
9-
TakeStock does not offer Job Costing
and Payroll modules.
10- TRAVERSE pricing for 1
and 5 users includes 1st year maintenance, but 10 and 25 user
systems require an additional 15% for 1st year maintenance.
