Pricing Comparison: The Real Cost
What You Actually Pay

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.
