Where each one falls short

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

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

Priority Software

  • Pricing is by quote only, with no published rate, minimum user count, contract term or add on cost for any of the Commercial, Manufacturing, POS or Optima PMS plans
  • Point of sale, manufacturing and hospitality capabilities are sold as separate plans rather than one product

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

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.

Priority Software: How much does Priority Software cost?

Priority Software does not publish specific pricing on their website. The site emphasizes custom solutions with the tagline 'Pricing plans that suit your business. Not the other way around.' Visitors are directed to speak with a sales expert for quotes.

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.

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.
