  • Each has a real cost: Deltek not one product but a portfolio, including Costpoint, Vantagepoint, Maconomy, Ajera, ComputerEase, GovWin IQ and Replicon, so the right choice depends on the industry before the feature set; Cin7 sales orders are capped annually rather than monthly, at 6,000 on Standard, 24,000 on Pro and 120,000 on Advanced
  • They diverge on capability: Deltek covers Project accounting, Cin7 covers Inventory management.
