Dynamics GP Pricing

Dynamics GP subscription licensing starts from $65.00 USD/user/month ($78.60 CAD). You will also be paying for hosting, or maintaining your own servers, because GP is an on-premise solution.

Dynamics GP perpetual licensing starts from $5,000 USD for 3 users ($6,550 CAD).

Note that GP licenses cannot be purchased for new implementations, but existing GP customers can still buy licenses. At Encore we support many customers on GP, and we help companies on GP to transition to Business Central.

Dynamics AX Pricing

Dynamics AX licenses are around $5,300 for 1 perpetual license (same price CAD or USD). Exact price will depend on your version of the software and license. Speak to a Dynamics Partner for advice and assistance. Because Dynamics AX is an on-premise solution, you’ll also be paying for hosting or managing your own servers and IT resources to maintain them.

Customers cannot buy Dynamics AX licenses for new implementations. However, existing customers can still buy more licenses.

Many companies currently using Dynamics AX are considering a transition to Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations, which is effectively the next version of AX. Encore supports customers on AX, and also offers upgrade services for moving from AX to Finance & Operations.

2. Professional services for implementation, which vary from around $18,000 for the simplest implementation of Dynamics 365 Business Central up to over $3 million for an advanced-manufacturing implementation of Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations.
3. Support from a partner after go-live, to provide break-fixes, new user training, assistance with Microsoft, and consultation about strategy and solution enhancements.
