The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Acumatica pricing is not published; the vendor directs buyers to a pricing review or an industry calculator instead; FaciliWorks the interface is dated by cloud CMMS standards, which matters most for occasional users such as production supervisors raising a request, who will need training that a modern mobile-first tool would not require.
  • They diverge on capability: Acumatica covers Financial management, FaciliWorks covers Perpetual or subscription licensing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

FaciliWorks

  • A defence or utility site on an isolated network where a cloud-only CMMS is not permitted by policynot Acumatica
  • A maintenance department that wants a capital purchase rather than a recurring subscription that grows with headcountnot Acumatica

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Acumatica

  • Pricing is not published; the vendor directs buyers to a pricing review or an industry calculator instead
  • Cost is driven by transaction volume, data storage and resource levels, so spend rises with business activity rather than staying fixed
  • Charged per application implemented, so adding a module changes the price

FaciliWorks

  • The interface is dated by cloud CMMS standards, which matters most for occasional users such as production supervisors raising a request, who will need training that a modern mobile-first tool would not require.
  • A perpetual licence still carries an annual maintenance and support fee, so the one-off purchase framing does not hold; without that fee you lose updates and support while keeping the right to run old code.
  • Integration options are thin, with a limited API and few prebuilt connectors, so linking FaciliWorks to an ERP or a condition monitoring platform usually means custom database-level work.
  • No pricing is published for any edition despite this being a mid-market product, so buyers cannot compare it against published per-user rivals without entering a sales process.
  • CyberMetrics is a small independent vendor, which means responsive support but also a thin partner ecosystem and no realistic second-source implementation help if the relationship goes wrong.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Acumatica: How does Acumatica's pricing model work compared to traditional per-seat ERP systems?

Acumatica charges based primarily on the number of applications you implement, not user seats. Pricing adjusts based on business usage and resources (transaction volumes, user count, data storage needs) plus your chosen deployment license type. Unlimited users are included; you only pay for the functionality you need.

Source
FaciliWorks: Can I still buy FaciliWorks outright?

Yes. Perpetual on-premise licensing is still offered alongside subscription, which is unusual in CMMS today.

Acumatica: Are there separate pricing calculators for different industries?

Yes, Acumatica offers industry-specific pricing calculators for Construction, Manufacturing, and Distribution to help estimate costs. You can also schedule a custom pricing review with an Acumatica partner for a tailored assessment.

Source
FaciliWorks: Does a perpetual licence mean no recurring cost?

No. Annual maintenance and support is a separate ongoing fee, and dropping it costs you updates and support.

Acumatica: What happens if my business usage and data storage needs grow over time?

Acumatica allows you to adjust resource levels and data storage as you add users or expand usage. The transparent pricing model ensures you always know your costs, and you do not pay overages for unused features or unnecessary functionality.

Source
FaciliWorks: Is there concurrent licensing?

Yes. Concurrent seats let a large pool of occasional users share fewer licences, which is often cheaper than named seats.

FaciliWorks: Is pricing published?

No. All editions are quoted, so you must engage sales to get a comparable number.
