The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Comarch no pricing is published anywhere on the site for any product line; the only route to cost is a Kontakt z konsultantem (Consultant Contact) request for a quote; Epicor epicor is a portfolio of separately acquired products rather than one system, so reviews, references and analyst coverage about Epicor as a brand can be misleading about the specific product you are being sold.

Where each one falls short

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

Comarch

  • No pricing is published anywhere on the site for any product line; the only route to cost is a Kontakt z konsultantem (Consultant Contact) request for a quote
  • The ERP line is split across three separately scaled products (Optima for SMBs, XL, Enterprise) with no published criteria distinguishing which a given company should quote

Epicor

  • Epicor is a portfolio of separately acquired products rather than one system, so reviews, references and analyst coverage about Epicor as a brand can be misleading about the specific product you are being sold.
  • The products are highly customisable and are routinely customised, and heavily customised installations become expensive to upgrade, which is why long-standing customers frequently run versions several releases behind current.
  • Cloud delivery is single-tenant hosting rather than multi-tenant SaaS, so you still own an upgrade decision and the regression testing that comes with it, and buyers who expected the SaaS model of no upgrades are surprised.
  • Sales and delivery run through a mix of direct staff and partners depending on product and region, so accountability for a failed implementation can be genuinely ambiguous unless it is fixed in the contract before signature.
  • The strongest coverage is in North American manufacturing and distribution, so an international group needing statutory compliance and local support across many countries has to test that coverage carefully rather than assume it.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Comarch: How much does Comarch cost?

Comarch does not publish pricing online. The company offers enterprise ERP solutions like Comarch ERP Enterprise, Comarch ERP XL, and Comarch ERP Optima. Pricing is determined through custom quotes based on organization size and specific requirements. Contact Comarch sales at (12) 646 1000 or through their consultant contact form to request a quote.

Source
Epicor: Which Epicor product am I actually being sold?

Ask explicitly, by name. Kinetic, Prophet 21, Eclipse and BisTrack are different systems with different roadmaps. Then ask for references on that specific product, in your industry, at your size.

Comarch: What is Comarch's pricing model?

Comarch uses a quote-based pricing model tailored to enterprise customers. The company does not offer self-serve pricing or standardized subscription tiers. Customers must request personalized pricing from the sales team based on their deployment requirements.

Source
Epicor: Is Epicor Kinetic a true SaaS product?

It is delivered as a hosted single-tenant service on Azure. You get vendor-managed infrastructure, but you do not get the multi-tenant model where the vendor upgrades everyone at once and no upgrade project exists.

Epicor: How much should I customise?

Less than you will want to. Every modification is something to retest and potentially rework at each upgrade, and the accumulation of them is the main reason customers get stranded on old versions. Push hard on whether a requirement is genuinely a differentiator before building for it.

Epicor: Direct or partner implementation?

Both exist. The partner's track record on your product and industry matters more than the vendor's, so ask who will staff the project, request their references, and put named staff into the statement of work.
