A Breakdown of Sage Hosting Pricing

Businesses today are moving many of their critical business tools and software to the cloud to enable anytime, anywhere access. For some, that means choosing a SaaS (software-as-a-service) provider for their accounting and business tools. For others, who want more flexibility, hosting solutions have become a critical solution. One of the tools you can easily host in the cloud is your Sage software, from Sage 50 on up to Sage ERP and Sage CRE solutions. Hosting Sage in the cloud allows you to operate, monitor, and manage your business from anywhere.

How Much Does It Cost to Host Sage Software?

Swizznet Sage hosting pricing typically ranges from $70 to $120 per user per month, depending on the version of Sage and the total number of users. This includes any time, anywhere access to Sage software with top-notch security and Swizznet’s 24/7/365 Obsessive Support®. However, it does not include your license to Sage accounting software or any add-on fees.

An Overview of Other Pricing Models

With the rise of cloud-based software, many companies are looking for ways to take the Sage software they know and love to the cloud. Over the past few years, as we developed a new model for hosting Sage on the cloud, we reviewed how other hosting providers offer Sage hosting. We found two broad types of providers:

First, the “dirt cheap” Sage cloud hosting providers. These hosting companies offer Sage hosting at a very low cost per month, sometimes in the range of $20-30 per user. However, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. At this price range, it’s impossible to offer top-level service that properly supports your Sage software. These providers often are not certified partners with Sage, meaning their support team doesn’t have access to Sage’s technical training and certification programs.

At the other end of the spectrum, some hosting providers offer highly customized Sage hosting on dedicated servers. These firms build hosting solutions that cater to your specific business workflow and application requirements. However, building highly customized solutions like this come at a steep price tag, since engineers are required to develop and support your unique setup.
