Comparing product pricing between vendors is difficult on the best of days. However, as you may guess, this is often the very first question we get, ?How much does it cost?? The tables below are intended to quickly answer that question so we can get on with the real issues. We asked the accounting software vendors whose products are covered on this site to price the retail cost for eight core modules (general ledger, accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, inventory, order entry, job costing, and system manager) for 1 user, 3 users, 5 users, 10 users, 25 users, 50 users, and 100 users. The results are presented below. Even with this approach there are comparison problems. For example, some products include a report writer in the GL while others charge extra. Still, these prices offer a reasonable basis for comparison. Remember the more the product costs, the less the price relates to the total cost of the product over its economic life
