Your ERP Vendor Charges You
to Grow.
NetSuite's per-seat licensing model means every new hire, every floor operator, every field tech costs you $99–$149/month — forever. Infinary deploys unlimited users on your own GCP project for a flat retainer. Growth should be an asset, not an invoice.

Total Cost of Ownership
The Compound Cost of Per-Seat Licensing
A 50-user NetSuite deployment starts at roughly $78,000/year in licensing alone — before add-ons, SuiteSuccess fees, or any customization. At 25% annual headcount growth, that same deployment balloons to over $190,000/year by Year 3, and $460,000+ by Year 5. The per-seat model creates a compounding tax on your growth trajectory.
Infinary's flat-retainer model with at-cost GCP compute means your Year 5 cost looks functionally identical to your Year 1 cost — regardless of how many users you add. Over a 5-year horizon, mid-market companies switching from NetSuite to Infinary typically project $300K–$700K+ in cumulative savings.

Why Switch from
NetSuite?
Break the Renewal Cycle
NetSuite renewals carry 10–15% annual price escalation. Your contract terms get worse every cycle. Infinary's month-to-month model eliminates renewal anxiety entirely.
Stop Paying the User Tax
Every floor operator, warehouse worker, and field technician costs $99–$149/month on NetSuite. On Infinary, they cost $0. Scale your workforce without scaling your software bill.
Own Your Data. Own Your Exit.
On NetSuite, Oracle controls your database, your encryption, and your migration timeline. On Infinary, you hold the GCP project and CMEK keys. If we part ways, you take everything with you — same day.
