Pricing Comparison: The Real Cost
What You Actually Pay
5 users (accounting only): Sage Intacct = 5 × ~$400 = ~$2,000/mo | NAViCalC = $249/mo (everything)
10 users: Sage Intacct = 10 × ~$400 = ~$4,000/mo | NAViCalC = $249/mo
25 users: Sage Intacct = 25 × ~$400 = ~$10,000/mo | NAViCalC = $249/mo
Sage Intacct prices above are for accounting only. Add Sage People (HR), third-party CRM, and e-commerce platforms, and costs climb significantly further.
NAViCalC: $249/mo ($1,999/yr with annual plan) — save over $21,000 per year at just 5 users compared to Sage Intacct, while gaining CRM, inventory, HR, and e-commerce modules that Sage doesn't offer.
