Where each one falls short

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

Cegid

  • No pricing is published for any product line (Cegid Retail, Cegid HR, Cegid Notilus); every call to action leads to a Contact Us sales form rather than a figure or a self-serve checkout
  • The suite is split across separately branded products (Retail, HR, Notilus, Pulse) rather than a single unified plan, so buyers must evaluate each module's quote separately

TallyPrime

  • Multi user access requires the Gold licence at Rs 67,500 plus 18 percent GST, three times the Rs 22,500 Silver single user licence
  • The Silver lifetime licence covers a single user only
  • Connected services and product upgrades depend on a Tally Software Services subscription renewed separately; the 2 year Silver renewal is Rs 8,100 and the 2 year Gold renewal Rs 24,300, both plus 18 percent GST
  • Gold multi user operation is over a local area network rather than over the internet
  • All published prices exclude 18 percent GST
