What to count
- Licenses: per user, per module, and how prices change as you grow
- Add-ons: features sold separately, such as single sign-on, extra storage or advanced reporting
- Implementation: setup, data migration and training, whether by the vendor, a partner or your team
- Integrations: connecting separate tools, and maintaining those connections when either side changes
- Administration: the time your team spends configuring, fixing and supporting the system
- Customization: developers or consultants needed for changes your team cannot make
- Switching: what it would cost to leave, including exporting your data
The hidden cost of a stack of tools
Five separate tools can each look affordable. Together they mean five subscriptions, several integrations, data entered more than once and reports that need reconciling. Count the time spent moving data between them.
Compare fairly
Price the same scope for each option over three to five years, including the services and internal time each one needs. A tool with a higher license fee can be cheaper overall if it replaces several others and needs no integrations.
How Perspectiv approaches cost
Perspectiv is built to keep total cost low: one platform instead of a stack, changes your own administrators can make without developers, no integrations between separate tools, and single sign-on included in every plan. See pricing.
