The short version

Only Bling has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
Each has a real cost: Bling entry Cobalto plan at R$60/month caps marketplace and API orders at 200 per month, with only 60 MB of data storage and 1.2 GB of file storage; Zycus implementations run long and are consultant-led, so the gap between the sales demonstration and a configured live system is measured in quarters, during which the licence is already being paid.

Where each one falls short

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

Bling

Entry Cobalto plan at R$60/month caps marketplace and API orders at 200 per month, with only 60 MB of data storage and 1.2 GB of file storage
The top Elite tier is priced only by custom quote rather than a published figure, unlike the three tiers below it

Zycus

Implementations run long and are consultant-led, so the gap between the sales demonstration and a configured live system is measured in quarters, during which the licence is already being paid.
The AI capability is marketed well ahead of what is typically enabled in a customer instance, and buyers should insist on seeing agentic features running on their own data before valuing them in a business case.
A large share of engineering and support capacity sits in India, so North American and European customers need coverage windows and escalation paths written into the contract rather than assumed.
The user interface across modules is inconsistent, reflecting different development eras, which raises training cost and reduces adoption among occasional requisitioners.
Pricing is entirely quoted and structured around spend under management, so a business whose spend grows faces increases unrelated to how much it uses the software.

Storage increases per tier: Cobalto has 60 MB data and 1.2 GB files; Titânio has 120 MB data and 3 GB files; Diamante has 1.8 GB data and 45 GB files; Elite has 5 GB data and 50 GB files.

Source

Zycus: Which module is strongest?

Spend analysis. Classifying dirty purchase data across multiple ERPs is where Zycus consistently performs well against alternatives.

Bling: What order limits does each Bling plan support?

Cobalto supports up to 200 orders; Titânio supports 500+ orders; Diamante supports up to 10,000 orders; Elite supports 10,000+ orders with custom configuration.

Source

Zycus: How long is an implementation?

Plan for several quarters for a multi-module deployment. Phase it so one module delivers value before the rest go live.

Zycus: What about support coverage?

Much of the delivery and support organisation is in India. Get the coverage hours, response times and escalation route into the contract explicitly.
