What to know

Define the scenario before the price

Record normal and seasonal order volume, channel connections, accounting destination, historical access and billing preference. Check how the provider counts orders and connections and when a plan change can occur. Save the quote date and currency.

What to know

Keep the cost categories separate

Software subscription, accounting-plan upgrades, migration work and ongoing review are different costs. Optional services should remain optional in your calculation. Do not treat a merchant’s estimate of time saved as a measured reduction in your own workload.

What to know

Compare like with like

Annual billing can change the effective monthly figure and the cash paid upfront. Include taxes or currency costs only when applicable and known; do not invent them. History access may differ from the subscription period. Link My Books’ pricing and history documentation need to be read together for a specific case.

What to know

Make the uncertainty visible

Our worksheet accepts your quoted figures and assumed review hours, then shows illustrative first-year and later-year totals. It is not a live merchant-price feed or a profitability forecast. If a required charge is unknown, mark the comparison incomplete rather than entering zero and treating that option as cheaper. Recheck current terms before committing.
