• Unlimited user access included under Acumatica's licensing model rather than sold as per-seat licenses

• No published dollar pricing — cost depends on which applications, deployment option, and expected transaction/resource volume, confirmed only through a partner or sales quote
• Because pricing is consumption-based rather than a flat per-user list price, cost is harder to estimate upfront without an ROI/pricing calculator or sales conversation

• No published self-serve pricing in the US — Sage routes buyers through a scoping call to a written quote
• A bigger step up in cost and implementation effort than small-business accounting tools like QuickBooks or Wave
