Acumatica
- Pricing is not published; the vendor directs buyers to a pricing review or an industry calculator instead
- Cost is driven by transaction volume, data storage and resource levels, so spend rises with business activity rather than staying fixed
- Charged per application implemented, so adding a module changes the price
