Estimates based on 3 users and 1000 contacts. Rates can change without notice, confirm current pricing with the provider before signing on. Estimates pick the cheapest plan tier whose user cap covers your team size. Zoho Inventory uses its free plan at 1 user. Katana is priced per user with optional add-on modules. Fishbowl is quote-only and sold as a perpetual license.How we calculate this
Estimated cost: each provider’s published prices and rates applied to the inputs you set above (such as volume, team size, or invoices), plus any fixed monthly fees.
Providers with an incomplete cost (shown as “+ processing”) and quote-only providers are never ranked as the cheapest while a complete-cost option exists. A “+ payroll” tag means payroll is not built in, so you would run it on separate software; those providers are still ranked on cost, and you can hide them with the Payroll included filter.
These are estimates. Published rates can change and your final pricing depends on your business, so confirm current pricing with the provider before switching.
