Where each one falls short

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

Exact Online

  • No pricing figure is shown on the homepage or main product pages; the only call to action is a Probeer nu (Try now) trial signup, with a quote required for actual cost
  • The platform is split into separate industry editions (accountancy, trade, production, hospitality, professional services, construction), so pricing and features must be evaluated per industry variant rather than one universal plan

QAD

  • No price, per user rate, minimum or contract term is published on the site; the only routes are a demo request and a Contact Sales link
  • Field service management, enterprise asset management and quality management are presented as separate functional areas rather than a single priced bundle
