Cloud ERP software is a must for modern companies to manage and integrate their core processes. An ERP SaaS system can manage functions like:
- Finance and Accounting – Managing the company’s financials, including accounts payable and receivable, general ledger, and payroll.
- Supply Chain Management – Overseeing the flow of goods from suppliers to customers.
- Manufacturing – Planning, production, and delivery of products.
- Customer Relationship Management (CRM) – Managing interactions with current and potential customers.
While the initial investment in an ERP system can be significant, the long-term savings are substantial as ERP greatly improves efficiency, reduces errors, and optimizes processes.

Understanding Acumatica Pricing Models
If you’ve recently received a price quote for Acumatica Cloud ERP, you might have noticed terms like PCS, PCP, or SaaS in the licensing options. Here’s a quick summary of what these mean and how their pricing differs:
- PCS – Private Cloud Subscription is a subscription-based license that allows you to deploy the Acumatica software on-premises or in a private cloud with the hosting provider of your choice. This option gives you more control but requires more involvement in managing the software. The pricing under this model includes an annual subscription fee without ownership of the software.
- PCP – Private Cloud Perpetual license means you purchase and own the software outright, allowing you to deploy it on-premises or in any private data center. Although you own the software, you’ll need to pay annual maintenance fees to receive Acumatica updates.
- SaaS – Software as a Service is a cloud-based subscription model where Acumatica hosts and manages the software for you, including hardware, software, connectivity, data monitoring, backup, and high availability. It’s an all-inclusive package that runs in the cloud via Amazon Web Services (AWS). Software as a Service allows you to pay a fixed monthly fee, with Acumatica managing your IT infrastructure and handling all upgrades. This is a completely outsourced true “Cloud” model.
To determine the cost of Acumatica, you need to consider three key factors:
- Desired Functionality: Acumatica offers various applications, with nearly limitless customizability. Acumatica’s pricing is based primarily on the number of applications, such as general ledgers and accounts payable, you implement. All applications are integrated and can be added at any time.
- Projected Resource Consumption: Depending on your transaction volume, you can choose from Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, or Enterprise tiers. The right tier is usually determined by the number of commercial transactions your business handles monthly, with small accommodating up to 2,000 transactions and Large up to 20,000.
- Licensing model: Choose between private cloud subscription, private cloud perpetual or software as a service licensing. For detailed information on these models, reach out to Sprinterra, your trusted Acumatica partner, who can guide you through the specifics.
While Acumatica doesn’t publish a standard price list, a personalized quote can be provided based on your specific business needs. Unlike traditional ERP vendors, the Acumatica price is NOT based on the number of users, allowing you to have unlimited users without additional costs.
