Licensing cost comparison
Three hypothetical quote structures, one user count and one comparison term. Cost is not a measure of suitability.
Cost over the selected term
| Quote | Monthly recurring | Term recurring | Fixed costs | Term total | Effective monthly |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Illustrative A | $1,400.00 | $16,800.00 | $2,500.00 | $19,300.00 | $1,608.33 |
| Illustrative B | $1,000.00 | $12,000.00 | $5,000.00 | $17,000.00 | $1,416.67 |
| Illustrative C | $1,350.00 | $16,200.00 | $1,500.00 | $17,700.00 | $1,475.00 |
Illustrative assumptions, not actual vendor prices. All named users incur the entered per-user rate. Taxes, escalation, exchange rates, internal labor and unentered charges are excluded. Different rights or service scopes must be reconciled separately.
Calculation record
Monthly = base + users * per-user fee + data fee
Term total = monthly * months + setup + exit
Effective monthly = term total / months
Scope before price
A cheaper quote might cover fewer recipients, less history or a different support boundary. The numbers become comparable only after those differences are explicitly recorded.
