The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Infor no price, licensing minimum or contract term is published anywhere on the site; the only routes are a Let's Connect contact form, a demo request and a sales contact; NetSuite pricing is quote-based and renewal increases are a persistent and well-documented complaint, so negotiate the renewal terms in the first contract rather than the first year price
  • They diverge on capability: Infor covers Financial management, NetSuite covers Unified financials.

Where each one falls short

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

Infor

  • No price, licensing minimum or contract term is published anywhere on the site; the only routes are a Let's Connect contact form, a demo request and a sales contact
  • Software is packaged by industry rather than sold as a general product with published editions

NetSuite

  • Pricing is quote-based and renewal increases are a persistent and well-documented complaint, so negotiate the renewal terms in the first contract rather than the first year price
  • Implementation is a project measured in months with partner fees that routinely match or exceed the first year licence
  • Per-user licensing makes occasional access expensive, and companies frequently under-license then discover the constraint in use
  • Customisation through SuiteScript accumulates, and heavily customised accounts become harder and costlier to upgrade
  • Reporting is capable but unintuitive, and most finance teams still export to a spreadsheet for board reporting

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Infor: Where can I find published pricing for Infor cloud software?

Infor does not publish standard pricing on its website. The company directs customers to contact their sales team directly through 'Let's Connect' forms and 'Contact Us' links for custom quotes.

Source
NetSuite: What does NetSuite actually cost?

Not published. The structure is a base platform licence plus per-user licences plus modules, on an annual contract, with implementation quoted separately. The implementation frequently matches or exceeds the first year licence.

Infor: Does Infor offer product demos before purchasing?

Yes. Infor's website includes calls-to-action to explore solutions, view demos, and connect with the sales team to discuss your needs.

Source
NetSuite: Why do people complain about renewals?

Renewal increases are the most consistent complaint from NetSuite customers. The leverage is at first signature, so negotiate renewal caps into the initial contract rather than assuming the first-year discount persists.

Infor: What types of products does Infor sell?

Infor specializes in cloud enterprise software solutions including industry-specific CloudSuites, AI agents, and integrated business applications for various industries.

Source
NetSuite: When should a company move off QuickBooks?

Usually when reconciliation between finance, inventory and sales systems has become a recurring job rather than an occasional task, or when an audit, funding round or acquisition requires financials that withstand examination.

NetSuite: Is it the same as Oracle Fusion ERP?

No. Oracle owns both. NetSuite serves the mid-market; Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP targets large enterprises. They are separate products with separate roadmaps.

NetSuite: What is the biggest implementation risk?

Underestimating the partner effort and over-customising early. Customisation through SuiteScript is easy to add and expensive to carry, and heavily customised accounts are the ones that struggle at upgrade.
