How much does an ERP system cost?
There is no single price. An ERP system is priced on your scope: how many users and modules, how many companies and branches, how much data you move, how much you customise, where it is hosted, and the training and support you need.
Two companies of the same size can pay very different amounts for the same software, so a price list would mislead you more than it helps.
Below is every driver and the questions to ask any vendor. Then send us your scope and you get a written quote in your currency, after a free 30-minute fit check.
What drives the price of an ERP system?
Eight things decide what you pay. For each one: what pushes the price up, and what keeps it down.
Users
Raises the pricePaying for every named user, then again for each new hire.
Keeps it downA licence that is not per seat, or light users for people who only approve or view.
Modules
Raises the priceBuying the full suite on day one.
Keeps it downStarting with the modules you need now and adding the rest as you grow.
Companies and branches
Raises the priceA separate system or licence for each company or branch.
Keeps it downOne system where every company and branch shares the same set-up.
Data migration
Raises the priceYears of history, messy item codes, no clean opening balances.
Keeps it downOpening balances plus the master data you really use, checked once.
Customisation
Raises the priceRebuilding every old screen and report as it was.
Keeps it downChanging what matters to your process, using standard features for the rest.
Hosting
Raises the priceYour own servers, licences and IT staff, or a data-location rule you only discover late.
Keeps it downDeciding early: cloud or on-premise, hosted in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Pakistan or the UK.
Training
Raises the priceTraining only at go-live, then paying again for every new joiner.
Keeps it downTraining your own key users, who then train the team.
Support and upgrades
Raises the pricePaid change requests for every small fix, and upgrades charged as projects.
Keeps it downA clear support scope in writing: what is covered, how you ask, who answers.
Licence or subscription: which costs less?
It depends on how long you keep the system and who runs the servers. Compare both over the same number of years.
| Licence (pay once) | Subscription (pay per month or year) | |
|---|---|---|
| You pay | Up front for the right to use the software, usually with a yearly maintenance fee. | A recurring fee for as long as you use it. |
| Hosting | Often on your own servers, so add hardware and IT time. | Usually in the vendor’s cloud, included in the fee. |
| Upgrades | Check whether new versions are included in maintenance. | Usually included. |
| Best when | You will run the system for many years and have your own IT team. | You want a lower start and predictable yearly costs. |

It depends on your scope: users, modules, companies and branches, data migration, customisation, hosting, training and support. Send us your scope and we send a written quote in your currency after a free 30-minute fit check.
Because two companies of the same size can need very different scopes. A list price would leave out the parts that change the total most: migration, customisation, hosting and support. A written quote for your scope is more useful.
A cloud subscription usually costs less to start, because hosting and upgrades are in the fee. On-premise can make sense over many years if you already run servers and IT staff. Compare both over the same number of years.
Many ERP vendors price per user. Tadbir ERP supports unlimited users, so ask us how that applies to your scope in the written quote.
Ask every vendor this in writing. Tadbir ERP runs several companies and branches in one system, and your quote covers your whole structure.
How much history you move, how clean your current data is, and how many companies and items you have. Moving opening balances and the master data you really use keeps it simple.
Usually support, hosting (if it is not in a subscription), new modules you add, and changes you request. Your written quote should list each one.
Yes. Tadbir ERP’s modules share one database, so you can start with what you need and add the rest as you grow.
Yes. It is a 30-minute call, free and with no commitment to buy. You leave with the modules you need and a sensible place to start.

ERP cost and written quote worldwide
For groups with companies in several countries asking what one ERP would cost across all of them. The price depends on companies, modules and users, so we quote the group in writing with each country shown.
A line per company
Each company, country and tax setup is listed, so adding a new one later has a known place in the quote.
Shared modules, local setup
The group’s modules are quoted once, and each country’s tax and language setup is added on top.
Consolidation in scope
Intercompany and group reporting are stated in the scope, not left as a later extra.
Currency stated
We name the currency of the quote, and companies keep their own books in their own currency.
How companies here use it
A group in the Gulf and Pakistan
One quote shows shared modules and a local line for each country’s tax setup.
A manufacturer adding a country
The new company appears as a line, with the rest of the quote unchanged.
A distributor starting with one entity
Quote for one company first, with the group roll-out priced when you are ready.
