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; Sage X3 sage sells X3 through partners rather than direct, so implementation quality varies more than the software does, and a weak partner produces a failed project on a product that works fine elsewhere.

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
Sage X3
- Sage sells X3 through partners rather than direct, so implementation quality varies more than the software does, and a weak partner produces a failed project on a product that works fine elsewhere.
- Payroll is not part of X3 in most markets and is bought as a separate product or a third party service, so an organisation assuming a complete back office in one licence finds an extra vendor, an extra integration and an extra bill.
- The product uses its own development language and toolset rather than a mainstream stack, so the pool of people who can maintain a customised installation is small, expensive and largely employed by partners.
- Heavy customisation is possible and consequently common, and customised installations are harder to upgrade, which surfaces years later as a business running an old version because taking the current one means retesting and reworking every modification.
- The North American partner ecosystem and third party add-on market are thinner than for the products X3 competes with, so niche requirements are more often met by custom development than by buying something already built.

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.
SourceSage X3: Is Sage X3 a cloud product?
It is offered as a hosted subscription, commonly on AWS, but it is not a multi-tenant SaaS product in the way Plex or NetSuite are. You still have your own instance and you still own the upgrade decision, which is both more control and more work.
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.
SourceSage X3: How do I choose a partner?
Ask for two references at your revenue, in your industry, on the version you are buying, and speak to them without the partner present. Ask who specifically will be on your project, how long they have worked on X3, and what happens if they leave mid engagement.
Sage X3: Does the licence cost tell me what the project costs?
No. For mid-market ERP the services bill commonly matches or exceeds the first year of software, and the subscription clock usually starts before go live, so the first year of licence buys considerably less usable time than it appears to.
Sage X3: Who should not buy X3?
A single entity operating in one country, because the multi-company and multi-legislation depth is the main reason to pay for this rather than something simpler, and a business paying for it without using it has overbought.
