Unlimited Users With a
Transaction Ceiling.
Acumatica markets 'unlimited users' but restricts your business through transaction consumption tiers that force expensive mid-contract upgrades as order volume surges. With Infinary, you get truly unlimited users and unthrottled transaction volume running on your own Google Cloud account for one flat monthly fee.

What It Really Costs Over Time
The Hidden Penalty of Transaction-Tier Pricing
Acumatica avoids per-user pricing, but replaces it with transaction and compute tiers. As your warehouse throughput grows from 5,000 to 20,000 shipments a month, or as your API connectors sync with Shopify and retail order files (EDI), you cross tier thresholds — and crossing one steps the price up for the whole contract, not just the extra volume. Database storage beyond the basic limits carries its own recurring surcharge.
With Infinary, your computing power is billed directly at cost by Google Cloud with zero markup, and your monthly management fee stays flat. Over five years, growing transaction volume stays cost-effective instead of triggering contract renegotiations.
What Acumatica Costs You Over Five Years
A worked example for a 50-person company, built from Acumatica's published rate card as of Q1 2026. Your own number depends on your headcount, which parts of the system you actually run, and what you've negotiated — move the slider to see the shape of it. Infinary replaces the fee for every employee who logs in with a flat plan fee and the computing power you use, so we'll work out your number with you.
Fee Per Employee
Cost to Leave
No Lock-In
ERPNext, Included
No multi-year contract and no renewal penalty — if our price ever changes, you can leave and take your whole system with you, because it already runs in your own Google Cloud account. And every module in ERPNext — the all-in-one business software — is switched on from the first day: accounting, inventory, manufacturing, HR, projects, CRM and the rest, with nothing held back behind an upgrade tier.
Making the Switch
Why Switch from
Acumatica?
Escape Consumption Tier Penalties
Stop worrying about order volume surges or seasonal spikes pushing you into a higher software pricing tier. With Infinary, process as many transactions as your business can generate without tier penalties.
Direct Google Cloud Ownership
Acumatica hosts your instance in their managed cloud where you lack direct database root access. On Infinary, you own the Google Cloud account, you hold the encryption keys, and you can inspect or export your database anytime.
Cut Out Reseller Markups
Acumatica requires you to work through Value-Added Resellers (VARs) who add middleman margins to implementation and support. Infinary works directly with your team with transparent flat pricing.

You pay a fee for every employee who logs in, so the bill climbs every time you hire.
vs. SAP B1
Even small changes mean paying SAP consultants and waiting, and the dated interface struggles to keep up.
vs. Odoo
The most useful tools — full accounting and manufacturing — are locked behind a paid plan with per-employee fees.
