Two Common Pricing Models
An upfront sum for the license to own the software and use it in perpetuity. This is the more traditional model and is most common with on-premise applications. Perpetual license fees for WMS software are generally determined on a per-user basis.
A monthly fee to use the software for a specific amount of time. Subscription pricing became popular with the advent of Software as a Service (SaaS). Monthly subscription fees for WMS software are determined either on a per-user basis or on a per-warehouse basis (with an unlimited number of users at each warehouse).

Perpetual License Costs
• Perpetual license fee
• Customizations
• Installation/setup
• Integration with existing systems
• Maintenance (updates, patches & upgrades)
• Premium support services
! Customization and integration costs can be significant—often as much or more than the software—if you choose to change the software substantially.
Upfront costs
Recurring costs
Subscription Costs
Customization and integration costs are often less costly simply because SaaS systems have not provided as much flexibility in this area. Although that is changing as SaaS systems evolve.!

Total Cost of Ownership
While a perpetual license may cost more upfront, the total cost of ownership typically converges with subscription packages in about 7-10 years.

Frequently Overlooked Costs
Servers, barcode scanners and automated material
handling systems (such as pick-to-light systems and
carousels) represent significant costs.
Hardware & IT
While this can be performed by in-house IT
personnel, most buyers will want to pay the vendor
to transfer data.Data migration
Often, Web-based training is included, but vendors
will charge for in-person training. Training

The pricing information included in this presentation was collected from publicly available online sources in September 2015 and from conversations with vendors in February and March 2014. Software Advice is not in a position to provide detailed price quotes on behalf of these vendors, and this data should not be considered as such. The information is simply a compilation of what is publicly available online. Buyers should contact the software vendor for actual pricing. To create pricing ranges for this guide, we considered a “starter” buyer to be an organization with one warehouse and three users, a “mid-range buyer” to be one with three warehouses and five users and an “enterprise buyer” to be one with five warehouses and five users. Some warehouse management systems are priced on a per-warehouse basis. We’ve labeled these systems in the table and calculated pricing for them according to number of warehouses rather than users.
