The short version
- Each has a real cost: Rootstock every Rootstock user also needs a paid Salesforce platform licence, so the true cost is two subscriptions stacked; third-party estimates put a fully loaded seat around 200 to 500 US dollars per user per month, which is far above the Rootstock line item alone.; Yonyou no pricing is published anywhere on the site for any of its three tiered products (YonBIP, YonSuite, Chanjet); the only path to cost is a phone sales line or a contact form for a custom quote and demo

Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Rootstock
- Every Rootstock user also needs a paid Salesforce platform licence, so the true cost is two subscriptions stacked; third-party estimates put a fully loaded seat around 200 to 500 US dollars per user per month, which is far above the Rootstock line item alone.
- Rootstock publishes no pricing whatsoever, so budget-setting depends on reseller and analyst figures rather than vendor rates, and there is no public benchmark to test a quote against.
- Building on Salesforce means inheriting Salesforce governor limits and API constraints, which surface as batch size and data volume ceilings in high-transaction manufacturing that a purpose-built ERP would not hit.
- Your ERP is now hostage to another vendors commercial decisions: Salesforce list price rises, edition changes or licence policy shifts flow straight into your ERP running cost with no alternative supplier.
- Implementation is a serious project, commonly quoted in the tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars and measured in months, and the partner pool that genuinely knows both manufacturing and Salesforce-native ERP is small, which lengthens timelines and raises day rates.
Yonyou
- No pricing is published anywhere on the site for any of its three tiered products (YonBIP, YonSuite, Chanjet); the only path to cost is a phone sales line or a contact form for a custom quote and demo
- Product selection depends on company size tier (large enterprise, growth stage, small/micro) rather than a single scalable plan, so buyers must first identify which of the three separately branded products applies to them
