How Acumatica Pricing Works
Acumatica pricing is transparent and scalable. You start with exactly what you need and expand as your business grows — without paying for features you won’t use.
Subscription Licensing Overview
Acumatica offers two licensing models:
☁️ SaaS Subscription – Most popular. Includes ERP software, hosting, security, backups, and system maintenance in one predictable fee.
🖥️ Private Cloud Subscription (PCS) – Alternative model for businesses that want to host and manage Acumatica in their own environment.
What Determines Your Acumatica Cost
(Edition Level, Industry Edition, Usage Tier, Additional Functionality)
✅ Edition Level
Essentials, Select, Prime, or Enterprise — choose the edition that fits your business size today, knowing you can expand later without re-licensing.
✅ Industry Edition
Get built-in functionality designed for construction, distribution, manufacturing, professional services, or general business — so you only pay for tools you’ll actually use.
✅ Usage Tier (CTV)
Set by your highest monthly transaction type. This ensures predictable costs with room to grow before moving up a tier.
✅ Additional Functionality
Add modules like Fixed Assets, Expense Management, CRM, Bank Feeds, and others— all integrated into one system. Expand anytime without switching editions.

Acumatica Usage Tiers
Usage Tier (CTV)
Monthly CTV = the highest transaction count from any one type during your busiest month — not an average or combined total.
Counted Transaction Types
Your CTV is based on the single highest monthly volume of one of these transaction types:
-
📦 Orders: Sales Orders, Purchase Orders, Purchase Receipts
-
🧾 Invoices: AR Invoices, AP Invoices
-
💳 Payments: Customer Payments, AP Payments
-
🚚 Shipments
Example
In one month, Company A processed:
-
720 AR Invoices
-
650 Customer Payments
-
500 AP Invoices
-
250 AP Payments
-
480 Sales Orders
Since the highest number is 720 AR Invoices, their Monthly CTV is 720, which places them in the S1 transaction tier (see chart below).
Why it matters: With Acumatica’s consumption-based pricing model, unlimited users are included — your tier is set by usage, not headcount.

System configuration tailored to your workflows
-
Data migration from legacy systems
-
Integration setup with other applications
-
Customization of dashboards and reports
-
Training and go-live support

Mid-market: $60K–$100K
-
Complex/multi-site: $100K+

The Acumatica Scalability Advantage
With many legacy ERP systems, growth comes with a penalty:
-
Per-user license fees make it costly to give everyone access
-
Junior staff often go without access to save money
-
Adding features or capacity can require a full system replacement
Acumatica works differently.
-
Unlimited users mean you never have to ration access or juggle logins
-
You pay based on usage, not headcount
-
You can add capacity, modules, or industry features without starting over
-
Upgrades happen without costly migrations or disruptions
This flexibility keeps your ERP cost predictable, your team fully connected, and your system ready for whatever comes next.
