# SAP Business One pricing in 2026: cloud subscriptions, perpetual licenses and implementation

SAP publishes no Business One prices. This guide puts SAP partners' prices, third-party estimates and buyer reports side by side: cloud and perpetual licenses by user type, maintenance, UK and European prices, implementation and the cost at three company sizes.

**SAP Business One costs about $100 to $219 a user a month as a cloud subscription, or about $1,350 to $5,500 a user as a one-time perpetual license plus 18% to 22% a year for maintenance, in SAP partners’ and third-party figures; $3,200 is the most common Professional figure. SAP publishes no prices. Implementation adds $2,500 for an express setup to $100,000 for a customized one.**

**In short**

- **Three user types:** Starter for up to 5 users, Limited for one area such as financials or logistics, and Professional for full access.

- **Two ways to pay:** a monthly cloud subscription through a partner, or a one-time perpetual license with yearly maintenance.

- **CostBench reports a 5-user minimum** for cloud subscriptions.

- **All prices come from SAP partners** and price guides, because SAP sells Business One only through partners.

## How much does SAP Business One cost per user in the cloud?

An SAP Business One Professional user costs about $100 to $219 a month in the cloud, and a Limited user $100 to $158, in partners’ and third-party figures. Single-tenant hosting costs more than multi-tenant at one partner and less at another, so ask each partner which they quote.
