Transparent & Fair
Pricing
Most ERP vendors won’t publish their pricing. We do. Our pricing is honest and straight forward — no hidden fees or charges. . What you see is what you pay.
Our licensing is based on concurrent connections, and NOT named users, so you only pay for simultaneous access — not for every person with a login. The only additional cost is optional customisation to meet the specific needs of your business, and development time is competitively priced, with discounts that grow with volume.
You can see whether BME fits your budget right here, without booking a call — though we’re always happy to discuss your needs. We’ve been working with businesses across many sectors for over 30 years.
Below you’ll find interactive comparison tools, built with AI-assisted research from published vendor information, showing how BME compares on cost, features and licensing.
Licensing Options
- BME is available on subscription or under a perpetual licence, an option many vendors no longer offer. With a perpetual licence, the software can be capitalised as a balance-sheet asset rather than carried as a never-ending operating expense, and you keep the right to use it even if you later pause support.
