The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Infor CloudSuite no price, per user rate, minimum or contract term is published for CloudSuite; the site routes buyers to a sales contact form; JobBOSS² the product is a merger of two legacy systems, so existing JobBOSS and E2 customers face a migration and retraining project whose cost is negotiated case by case and is easy to underestimate.
  • They diverge on capability: Infor CloudSuite covers Financial management, JobBOSS² covers Estimating and quoting.
  • 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.

Infor CloudSuite

  • No price, per user rate, minimum or contract term is published for CloudSuite; the site routes buyers to a sales contact form
  • Infor Velocity Suite is advertised as one flat fee but no amount is published
  • CloudSuite runs on Amazon Web Services only, with no other cloud or on premises option stated on the page
  • Functionality is packaged as industry specific CloudSuites rather than one general ERP product

JobBOSS²

  • The product is a merger of two legacy systems, so existing JobBOSS and E2 customers face a migration and retraining project whose cost is negotiated case by case and is easy to underestimate.
  • ECI is a private equity owned portfolio company with many vertical products, and buyers should read renewal, uplift and support tier terms carefully because the commercial model is built around long term contracted revenue.
  • Machine connectivity is limited, so shop floor data comes from operators clocking in and out rather than from controllers, and any automatic utilisation measurement needs a separate monitoring product.
  • Reporting is rigid compared with a modern system and most shops end up exporting to Excel for anything beyond the supplied reports, which reintroduces the spreadsheets the system was bought to eliminate.
  • The user interface carries its lineage and takes longer to learn than a current generation web application, which matters most for occasional users such as estimators and purchasing staff.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Infor CloudSuite: Is pricing published for Infor CloudSuite?

No. The product page does not disclose specific pricing, tiers, or costs. For the Infor Velocity Suite component, a single flat fee structure is mentioned, but no actual amount is stated.

Source
JobBOSS²: What happened to E2 Shop System?

ECI acquired it and merged it with JobBOSS into the combined JobBOSS² line. Legacy customers are directed towards migration.

Infor CloudSuite: How do you get pricing information for CloudSuite?

Customers must contact the Infor sales team directly via the Contact Us link on the website. The company does not publish pricing online.

Source
JobBOSS²: Is it cloud based?

It is offered hosted and on premises. Hosted is not the same as a cloud native architecture, and performance expectations should be set accordingly.

Infor CloudSuite: Does CloudSuite use a per-seat or flat-fee model?

For the Infor Velocity Suite subset, a flat-fee model is mentioned with the phrase 'one flat fee, no matter where you're starting from.' However, the broader CloudSuite pricing structure is not specified publicly.

Source
JobBOSS²: Does it include accounting?

Yes, accounting is part of the product, which is one of the main reasons small shops choose it over an ERP plus separate finance package.

JobBOSS²: Can it read data from my CNC machines?

Not natively in any meaningful way. Data collection is operator driven, so shops wanting spindle level data buy a monitoring platform alongside it.
