Executive Summary & Pricing

I have reviewed Acct1st for a number of years and feel even more confident in this solution than previously. I am a big fan of SaaS applications as an alternative, so I like that Acct1st lets you choose. I think they are doing a good job at building out the workflow and portal functionality to make it a viable enterprise solution. The company continues with the pricing model of $1 per day, per user for either delivery option. This is an annual fee. The portal is offered for a fixed fee of $1,000 per year with unlimited users and storage capacity. Acct1st provides a bundled implementation service, which includes installation and configuration, along with web-based training, for a flat fee of $1,500.
