    Additional DetailsPricing is always consumption-based with no five-year lock-ins or termination penalties. The Acumatica ERP pricing structure allows adding casual users, suppliers, and customers without paying for additional licenses. The cost is based on the features and resources utilized, not on the number of users who access the system. An Acumatica partner works with users to understand specific requirements, determine the proper resources and modules for the company, and presents a price for the license.—

    Considered Both Products
    Acumatica
    Chose Acumatica
    The ease of customization and the network of integrate-able ISV’s really stood out to us over the competitive products.
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Dynamics SL is our current platform that we are migrating away from due to the lack of new features and future support. We attempted to launch with Dynamics 365 but found many screens and work flows do not work as intended. We left those project deployments and went with …
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Again, just seemed to be the closest to Dynamics SL while also providing customization capabilities and additional modules (Service) that we need.
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Acumatica is more flexible. Acumatica gives more control underneath the hood of the ERP, which enables us to meet our requirements out of the box WITHOUT customizations
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Our VAR experience during sales was above average compared to others. The offering from some ISVs was superior to Acumatica and impacted our decision.
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Better accounting, but worse at project tracking
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Better overall value. Faster implementation cycle.
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    More fully featured start of sales to end of project execution
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Unlimited users. Community openness.
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Transaction based pricing is better suited for us, the ability to not have to rely on so many customisations or addons
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Best return on investment, more customer centric, better usability, better licensing model, more open technology framework, better price, shorter implementations, vast functionality, are a few reasons why Acumatica did better for our business against products like netsuite, …
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Acumatica had the best license model and the best customization capabilities.
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Acumatica is more modern, user friendly, and up to date
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Acumatica is far superior and easy to use. It sill integrates with Microsoft so we can still leverage the other tools without loosing functionality.
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Acumatica is more flexible, easier to customize and easier to work with. The licensing is also much more reasonable and the support is good. Acumatica is clearly native to the cloud, where all the rest are desktop-based and struggle to work on the web well.
    Incentivized
    Chose Acumatica
    Acumatica has the best licensing model by far
