The dataset
| Vendor / product | Disclosure | What the vendor publishes | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Odoo: Odoo | Exact list price | $24.90 Standard / $49 Custom per user/month, billed yearly | The vendor publishes plan prices and states that implementation is separate. |
| Frappe: ERPNext + Frappe Cloud | Exact list price | $0 software licence; public compute-based hosting tiers | Implementation and customization are separate from the open-source licence and hosting. |
| Microsoft: Dynamics 365 Business Central | Exact list price | $80 Essentials / $110 Premium per user/month, paid yearly | The official page publishes licence prices; partner implementation is not included in those figures. |
| Oracle: NetSuite ERP | Model only | Annual licence: core platform + modules + users; no amount | The vendor explains the price components and one-time implementation fee, then asks the buyer to contact sales. |
| SAP: SAP Business One | Quote only | Request a quote | The product page describes cloud and on-premise options but does not publish a licence amount. |
| Sage: Sage Intacct | Model only | Tailored by organization, industry, size, and modules; no amount | The vendor explains what changes the price and requests contact for a customized quote. |
| Acumatica: Acumatica Cloud ERP | Model only | Applications + usage/resources + deployment; no amount | The vendor publishes its three-factor model and unlimited-user policy but not a list-price figure. |
Method and definitions
- Exact: an amount and billing unit appear on the vendor’s own public page.
- Model only: the vendor explains price drivers but publishes no amount.
- Quote only: the public path ends at contact sales or request a quote.
- Pages were read on 20 September 2026. Currency conversion, reseller prices, search snippets, analyst estimates, discounts, and private quotes were excluded.
Limitations
This is a purposive sample of seven globally recognized SMB and mid-market ERP products, not every ERP vendor. A public licence price is not a total implementation price: migration, configuration, integrations, partner services, training, support, taxes, and region-specific terms can materially change the total. Dynamic regional pricing may also differ from the US-facing pages reviewed here.
For a worked ownership comparison, see custom ERP versus Odoo, ERPNext, SAP Business One, Dynamics 365, and NetSuite. For a scoped build, see custom ERP development.

Frequently asked questions
Which ERP vendors publish exact pricing?
In this sample, Odoo, ERPNext with Frappe Cloud, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central publish an exact public amount. NetSuite, SAP Business One, Sage Intacct, and Acumatica require assumptions or a sales conversation.
Is licence price the total implementation cost?
No. Discovery, configuration, migration, integrations, training, partner services, local compliance, support, and taxes can materially change the total. This index measures disclosure only.
