QAD ERP plans, side by side

Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.

QAD ERP pricing tiers
Plan	Price	Features listed	Step up from the tier below
Standard	$600/month	4	Entry tier
Advanced	$1500/month	4	+$900/month, 4 more features

What each tier adds

The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

Standard

$600/month

The entry tier. It covers core manufacturing, financial management, supply chain, basic analytics.

Advanced

$1500/month

Over Standard, this tier adds:

Advanced modules
Quality management

How that compares in ERP

Too few erp tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the QAD ERP badges page.

Before you pay for QAD ERP

Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.

What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 2 tiers between $600/month and $1500/month, with the jump itemised above. With no free tier on record, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to compare QAD ERP against the tools that do have one before committing.

QAD ERP runs on cloud, web, mobile, and is published by QAD Inc of Santa Barbara, CA. The full record is on the QAD ERP review, and the rest of the category is under best erp tools.
