Oracle's cloud ERP for mid market and growing businesses, sold by quote.
NetSuite is Oracle's cloud ERP for mid market and growing businesses, covering financials, inventory, order management, CRM and more, sold as modules. Oracle publishes no price: it gives NetSuite pricing through a sales quote, typically as a platform fee, user licences and add on modules. Implementation can cost as much as the first year's subscription.

Quoted by the vendor
Oracle quotes NetSuite on request.
Each button opens Oracle's own page in a new tab, where you buy or sign up. Prices are the vendor's, shown in rand.
NetSuite does not publish a price. Oracle gives it after you contact them, and the quote is the product: ask for the monthly price with the VAT basis stated, what is charged once only, and which SARS returns it handles for you.

Price on request
Starting prices of the priced products in the same category, cheapest first. This is a price sort, not a ranking: the cheapest product is not the best one, and some are priced per user, some per month and some excluding VAT.
Bar lengths use a square root scale, so a very high price does not flatten the rest. The figures are exact.
Price on request, so not charted: Acumatica, NetSuite, Sage 200 Evolution, Sage X3, SAP Business One, SYSPRO.
A founding year says how long a company has existed. It says nothing about how good the product is.

What NetSuite ERP is and how it works
Overview, 1:25, published 20 May 2021. From the NetSuite channel on YouTube.
A video loads from YouTube only when you press play. The still picture before that comes from YouTube's image servers.
We could not confirm NetSuite's South African tax handling from Oracle. Ask for the VAT return output, the eFiling process and the bank integrations in a live demonstration, and for a South African reference customer.
The lack of a published price and the cost of implementation put it out of reach for small businesses. A mid market firm should compare it with Acumatica, Sage X3 and SAP Business One.
Against Acumatica, NetSuite is the better known brand and Acumatica lists South Africa among its localisation countries. See the full comparison.

In short
A well known cloud ERP, with the usual caveat that the real cost is in the quote and the implementation. Ask Oracle for a written all in quote and a South African reference customer.
Start where the vendor sells it, and keep this page open beside you for the limits.
