02 / What drives the price

What drives the price?

User scale10 internal users vs 1,000 online users — completely different architecture requirements.
Roles & permissionsSingle role is simple; multi-role (boss/ops/staff/customer) permission systems are core workload.
IntegrationsERP/TMS/WeChat/payments — every integration is independent work.
Real-time needsDaily batch reports vs a dashboard refreshing every second — very different technical complexity.
DeploymentCloud is simple; client intranet / private / certified environments need extra adaptation.
# Transparent reference pricing. Final quotes follow a requirements call — but you can use this table to compare any vendor.
