The short version

  • 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; ProShop ERP it runs on a Microsoft stack with Internet Information Services and SQL Server, so a shop choosing on premises deployment needs a Windows server and someone to maintain it, which is not what buyers expect when they hear browser based.
  • They diverge on capability: Deltek covers Project accounting, ProShop ERP covers Integrated quality management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

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
  • Pricing is not published anywhere and requires contacting sales
  • Built around project-based industries such as government contracting, architecture and engineering rather than general business

ProShop ERP

  • It runs on a Microsoft stack with Internet Information Services and SQL Server, so a shop choosing on premises deployment needs a Windows server and someone to maintain it, which is not what buyers expect when they hear browser based.
  • The software is opinionated and expects the shop to adopt its processes, so a shop determined to keep its existing habits gets a poor result and blames the tool.
  • Everything depends on operators entering time and status at each operation, and a shop that cannot enforce that discipline ends up with costing and scheduling data that nobody trusts.
  • It is not a machine monitoring product and does not read controllers, so spindle utilisation and automatic cycle counting require a separate product such as a monitoring platform.
  • The partner ecosystem is very small, so implementation, training and any customisation come from the vendor, and there is no market of independent consultants to fall back on or to price against.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Deltek: How much does Deltek Costpoint cost?

Deltek does not display pricing for Costpoint or other products on its website. Enterprise ERP pricing requires contact with Deltek sales.

ProShop ERP: Is it cloud software?

It is browser based and can be vendor hosted, but many customers run it on their own Windows server, which carries the usual infrastructure obligations.

Deltek: What is the cost of Deltek Vantagepoint for architecture firms?

Deltek does not publish Vantagepoint pricing on its website. Pricing depends on firm size, employee count, and feature requirements.

Source
ProShop ERP: Does it replace my accounting system?

No. It handles costing and purchasing and integrates with QuickBooks or similar for the general ledger.

Deltek: Do Deltek cloud ERP solutions charge per user?

Deltek offers cloud ERP products but does not disclose per-user, per-month, or subscription rate information on its public website.

ProShop ERP: Will it work with old CNC machines?

Yes, because it takes operator input at kiosks rather than reading machine controllers. That is a strength for shops with older equipment.

ProShop ERP: Is it suitable for process or batch manufacturing?

No. It is built for discrete machining and fabrication with routings and travellers.
