If you buy it through Europe or North America, it is quite expensive. However, if you can buy it from developing markets according to NetSuite, you can get significant discounts, up to 70%.
Regarding costs, it's not just about licensing. Customization recurring costs can become expensive over five to eight years, especially with new releases. However, NetSuite ERP integrates well with third-party applications, so it can still be used for finance while another ERP is used for localized production.

I would rate the costliness of NetSuite ERP as five out of ten. It is moderately affordable for our organization. There were additional costs for Arabic licensing, but otherwise, the pricing was fixed annually.

The cost can vary depending on the company's size, the number of users, and the service providers. It's not a fixed amount, and it depends on specific requirements and agreements with the service provider.

I rate NetSuite ERP five out of 10 for affordability. We purchase all the NetSuite products in a package that costs around $100 per user. The price is moderately expensive, and we aren't using everything we pay for.

NetSuite is expensive, but it is about average for an ERP solution. There are some extra costs depending on the scope of the solution, so it's not always transparent for the customers. Over the course of a project, customers may decide that they need to pay for other modules, which adds to the base price.

It's an annual, usage-based subscription. The more users you're going to have, the more licenses you need. The pricing is very much to my liking. I was very satisfied with it. I don't have any complaints. If you have a very superior product, you're going to pay for it, but that's the trade-off. A lot of times, you have multinationals that can work under different reporting requirements. For example, you can have a parent company in a different country that's subject to IFRS and then you can have US entities that are subject to US GAAP. They have ways of accommodating that and that will definitely cost you more money. They're called books. It's very much like what you would think of, like, a sub-ledger. So it would be where you'd make specialized transactions to integrate between two different regulatory bodies.
Pricing for NetSuite ERP is okay, but it could be better. The licensing model for NetSuite ERP is based on the number of modules and users. The standard license covers up to twenty-five users. If you have more than twenty-five users, you'll have to buy the premium license, which would double the price. For one module with five user licenses, the cost is between $40,000 to $50,000.

It is completely on a subscription basis. We pay yearly and, and you do not have to do anything on a monthly basis. Prices depend on the organization's scale and all those things, but they are doing a good job with the pricing.
NetSuite has developed new approaches to the market in the last few years. When people buy ERP, it's a competitive situation and the pricing is paramount. People don't want to spend a lot of money upfront on that type of thing — as if we blame them. What NetSuite has gone to, is something called the finances first approach. It says, let's come in. Let's have a small footprint in the organization. We can get a company up and running on the core financials and use it in the business office for about $50,000, which compared to a lot of ERP systems, is very low cost. From there, we start to stair-step the project up to increase the functionality that they're using and increase departments that are on the system. What happens is, when people start using the system, they start understanding the system. They began to learn how to roll out these other functions with their own internal people. They learn to adopt the tool, they understand how it works. Now, you're not saying, "We need this new $30,000 module. It's going to be $100,000 in consulting hours to implement it". It's more like, "We need this $30,000 module, and we may spend $10,000 on outside consultants to help us do it ourselves". That type of thing. There are two things that happen. One, you get instant success because you've got the system up and running and people are beginning to adopt it. They like it, it's successful, it's a valuable tool. That's the first win. The second win is if you get to grow the system. Now that you're using it, you understand it. This is how it's going to be easier for these people to do their jobs. This is how we can put efficiency into our inventory area, or we can put efficiency into our supply chain group, or we can help out our field service reps with information on an iPad. This is how we're going to do that — it helps people. Instead of this instant digital transformation, it's this continual rollout of better and better technology. When they see the results that a client likes, the service levels better, it makes a lot more sense. It's so much easier than this big, huge two-year implementation that some of these software providers come at the client with. That's a hard decision for any company to make. "We're going to be doing this, and we're not totally sure that it's going to work for us. But what if our people don't like using it; aren't there are a lot of things that could go wrong?" Then they just sit there with paralysis by analysis. When they can sit there and say, "Okay, we can start this, this NetSuite rollout. We can get the accounting office on it. We'll be up and running in 90 days, we're going to have better reports. We're going to have better financials. We're going to have all this stuff, we're going to have all these instant wins. How do we get 10% more out of the sales this year? How do we get drive costs down next year?" You've got all of these projects that you can expand your company on moving forward.

Licensing costs are all over the place. It really depends a lot on the business model. How many seats, what modules they're getting, and what kind of discount you can negotiate all will adjust the cost structure in different ways. The discounting can range, depending on what's compelling to that model. For example, I bought these two stevedoring companies and they're old companies, they're longshoremen. They've been doing longshoremen work since clipper ships. The systems tend to be old. Nobody had ever really put a stevedoring company on NetSuite before. When I went to NetSuite to negotiate for them, I was able to get okay pricing. There's a pretty broad opportunity if we get one or two of these done. NetSuite was willing to get me a very deep discount in that case. It depends on the deal. The numbers are all over the place.

The price is less than the cost of daily hours. The difference is very representative for us.

While I was a part of the discussion, I cannot recall how much the solution costs.
The price is quite high if you are a smaller organization.
NetSuite ERP has a cost per module you want to use, and then you have the license per user.
The price of the solution is quite high.
There is an annual license required to use this solution.
