Acumatica

  • 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

MarketMan

  • Pricing starts higher than some basic inventory tools
  • Requires time investment to set up properly for multi-location operations
