Pricing
CustomLimelight uses unlimited-user, subscription-based pricing rather than per-seat fees, with two main tiers: Starter (up to 5 users, full platform access) and Unlimited (unlimited users, full platform access, no seat-based pricing). Both tiers include the same complete feature set — budgeting, forecasting, workforce planning, scenario planning, reporting, dashboards, narrative reporting, and Limelight AI — since pricing is not feature-gated. Third-party review platforms such as G2 and Software Advice list Limelight's entry-level pricing at approximately $1,400/month for 5 users. Exact costs depend on user count and implementation scope; Limelight does not publish full pricing publicly and requires contacting sales for a custom quote. Volume and non-profit discounts are available, and some customers can opt for a one-time, fixed-fee "Ready-to-Go" FP&A package.
CustomVic.ai does not publish self-serve pricing; it sells an enterprise Autonomous Finance Platform under custom, quote-based contracts. Core AP automation features are bundled into a fixed monthly platform fee, with transaction-based (per-invoice) pricing layered on top in volume tiers that carry discounts as invoice volume grows. Third-party marketplace listings note Vic.ai has been shown with a free-trial or pilot option for teams testing automation before committing to a paid contract, and G2/SoftwareSuggest listings confirm no public entry-level price is disclosed. For context, manual invoice processing typically costs $10 to $15 per invoice, while Vic.ai customers report costs dropping to roughly $1 to $2 per invoice after implementation, which the company positions as the basis of its ROI case; exact quotes depend on invoice volume, ERP complexity, and number of entities. Prospective buyers must request a demo or quote directly from Vic.ai's sales team for current figures.
