SAP Business One Pricing

How much does SAP Business One cost?

The cost of SAP Business One generally begins at $20,000 for software licensing per annum, but can go up to several hundreds of thousands of dollars or more.

Implementation of SAP Business One is typically 1-5X the annual licensing cost, ranging from $20,000 to several millions of dollars.

How does SAP Business One pricing work?

SAP Business One pricing can vary based on a variety of factors such as the number of users, deployment options, and additional modules or customizations required. Here's a breakdown of some common pricing components:

Licensing Types:

  • User Licenses: SAP Business One offers different types of user licenses like Professional, Limited CRM, Limited Logistics, and Limited Financials. Each has varying levels of access to system features. Pricing varies by license type and the number of users.

  • Module or Package Licenses: Some business requirements may necessitate extra modules, each of which comes with its pricing structure.

  • Starter Packages: For very small businesses, SAP sometimes offers "starter packages" that are more affordable but come with limitations on the number of users and the functionalities provided.

Deployment Options:

  • On-Premise: One-time upfront software and hardware costs, plus ongoing maintenance fees.

  • Cloud-Based: Subscription pricing model where you pay a monthly or annual fee that covers hosting, maintenance, and upgrades.

Additional Costs:

  • Implementation Costs: These can include planning, data migration, customization, and training. These are typically one-time costs unless major changes are required later.

  • Maintenance and Support: This can be a recurring fee, often a percentage of the licensing cost, which covers software updates, support, and other services.

  • Customization and Add-ons: Costs can vary depending on the extent of customization needed and any third-party add-ons that might be required for your specific business needs.

  • Hardware: For on-premise deployments, businesses need to invest in servers, databases, and other hardware components.

  • Updates and Upgrades: These can be included as part of a maintenance package, or could be a separate cost.

  • Data Storage: For cloud deployments, extra data storage might have additional costs.

  • Integration Costs: If SAP Business One needs to be integrated with other systems (CRM, eCommerce, etc.), additional costs may be incurred.

Country-Specific and Vendor Variability:

Prices can also vary by country due to currency exchange rates and local partnerships SAP may have with vendors or service providers.

How does SAP Business One cost per user?

  • Professional User License: This license type typically offers full access to all modules and features. The cost for a professional user license can range between $3,000 and $4,000 as a one-time fee for an on-premise deployment.

  • Limited User License: These are more restrictive licenses aimed at users who only need access to specific modules like CRM, Financials, or Logistics. The cost for limited user licenses can range between $1,500 and $2,000 as a one-time fee for an on-premise deployment.

  • Cloud-Based Subscriptions: If you're opting for a cloud-based deployment, you may be looking at a monthly or annual subscription fee per user. The monthly fee can range from around $80 to $200 per user, although these prices can vary.
