How does a hosted xTuple solution stack up to other hosted solutions?

QuickBooks Online edition is $49.99/user/month. So 5 users is almost $250/month. You also lose inventory tracking and purchase order capability and you have to provide the QuickBooks license.

QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions costs $5,000 for a 10-user license - without hosting.

Sage MAS 90 for 5 users is $430/month - also without hosting.

NetSuite starts at $299/month plus $79/user/month.

SAP Business ByDesign is going to cost you $3725 per month.

Another data point is Intuit’s Quickbase online database application. A really neat tool for creating and sharing data over the web. It starts at $249/month for 10 users, 25,000 records, 100MB of file storage. Compare that hosted enterprise class xTuple, with a PostgreSQL database, running on secured Apple server.

The comparisons above should be considered "ball-park" facts, but a relatively small ball-park. Software pricing is almost never a simple exercise (another place xTuple shines), minimum users, required add-ons, annual fees, etc. So spend 15 minutes with Google and check our work.
