ChannelSnap vs NetSuite: everything you need, nothing you don’t.

NetSuite or ChannelSnap?
How does ChannelSnap’s cost compare with NetSuite?
ChannelSnap is significantly less expensive. It is a monthly platform licence plus a fee per full user, with every module included and no long-term contract, and implementation is a fixed scope quoted in writing. NetSuite is an annual subscription built from a base platform licence, user licences and separately priced modules, with implementation billed separately.
Are modules extra with ChannelSnap?
No. Every module is included in your licence, so you have full access to the system from day one and nothing new to budget for as you grow. With NetSuite, many modules are priced as add-ons on top of the base licence.
Is ChannelSnap big enough for a growing company?
ChannelSnap is built for growing businesses, typically between $1M and $150M in revenue, that have outgrown spreadsheets but do not need a two-year enterprise project.
Can we keep QuickBooks Online?
Yes. ChannelSnap integrates with QuickBooks Online in both directions, so your accountant keeps working the way they do now. NetSuite includes its own financials, so it would normally replace your accounting package.
Is ChannelSnap Canadian?
Yes. ChannelSnap is designed, built, hosted, supported and invoiced from Canada by Systems Interactive Inc. in the Greater Toronto Area. NetSuite is owned by Oracle, a US company.
