How competitor pricing is calculated
Competitor prices are indicative monthly estimates for the software and additional tools needed to provide comparable functionality. Actual costs vary by plan, features, hosting, integrations and licensing. Prices are based on the stated components, not necessarily a single bundled subscription.

Comparable prices aim for debtors, invoicing, ZA accounting/VAT, stock and purchasing where possible (Sage = Standard R490 + Advanced Inventory R465 + Debtors Manager R325). Store-only tools still need a separate accounting app. Figures from public pages (Oct 2026); may change. Draft for review.
