Pricing
CustomHighRadius does not publish self-service pricing and uses a custom, outcome-based pricing model called Mutually Agreed Success Criteria (MASC). Under this model, clients pay based on measurable KPI improvements the AI agents deliver rather than flat seat or module fees, with $0 implementation fees and $0 fees until go-live, followed by a gain-share percentage post go-live. Exact costs depend on transaction volume, ERP complexity, and which modules (Order to Cash, Accounts Payable, Treasury, Close and Reconciliation, or B2B Payments) are deployed; prospective customers must book a demo or contact sales for a tailored quote.
CustomAppZen does not publish self-serve pricing; every plan requires a custom quote through a sales demo. Third-party benchmarking (Vendr transaction data) puts average annual cost around $26,000, ranging roughly from a lower minimum up to about $47,000 depending on needs, with reported starting costs cited around $5,000/month by some analyst sources. A separate one-time SAP Ariba integration package has been listed at around $10,000. Actual cost depends on transaction volume, number of modules (AP, Expense Audit, Card Audit, E-Invoicing), and enterprise scale. Prospective customers must request a demo via appzen.com to receive a tailored quote.
