Epicor pricing 2026: how much Kinetic and Prophet 21 cost

Epicor does not publish list prices; every Epicor deal is quoted. Third-party sites publish ranges: Epicor Kinetic cloud at about $100 to $200 per user per month plus a platform fee of about $1,500 to $2,500 a month (ERP Research), and Prophet 21 at about $100 to $175 per user per month plus about $1,000 a month (ERP Research). Implementation adds roughly $50,000 to $500,000. No credible published price exists for Eclipse. The bigger, unbudgeted cost is the daily work around the ERP, which Morsa, the AI operations layer, takes on.

How much does Epicor cost?

Epicor’s product pages offer “Request a Demo” and a contact form, not a price list [1][2]. Third-party review and research sites publish estimates:

Two cautions. First, the sources do not agree with each other or always with themselves: ERP Research’s P21 page gives a $75 starting price and a $100 to $175 range, and its own 20-user example ($4,000 to $5,500 a month) is higher than its formula gives ($3,000 to $4,500). Second, DCKAP, a P21 integrator, says Epicor “requires a minimum of 10 users for purchase” [9]. Treat every number here as a starting point for a quote, not a quote.

Epicor Kinetic pricing

Kinetic is Epicor’s manufacturing ERP. Epicor sells it in “industry bundles” built in three steps: “Choose Your Platform Core, Choose Your Cloud Package, Choose Your Concurrent Users” [1]. Licensing is named or concurrent users, and ERP Research says full and limited users are priced differently [3]. ERP Research puts implementation at $100,000 to $400,000 for a mid-market manufacturer with 25 to 100 users, and $750,000 to over $1 million for complex multi-site or heavily customized projects [3]. Epicor’s Ascend program targets a 90-day go-live for qualified cloud implementations [10].

Epicor Prophet 21 pricing

Prophet 21 is Epicor’s distribution ERP. ERP Research publishes the most detailed estimate: about $1,000 a month base platform fee plus $100 to $175 per user per month, implementation of $50,000 to $500,000 overall and $50,000 to $250,000 for a mid-size distributor, and support around 20% of license cost a year [5]. Its separate P21 guide gives $60,000 to $300,000 for software plus implementation [6]. SoftwareConnect gives $20,000 to $50,000 initial investment for a small business and over $100,000 for larger ones, before per-user costs [7]. More on the product: Epicor Prophet 21 guide.

Epicor Eclipse pricing: a note

We found no credible published price for Eclipse. ERPFocus offers an Eclipse pricing guide only behind a form [8], and Epicor’s Eclipse page lists no price. Eclipse customers moving to Eclipse Cloud keep ownership of their licenses, per Epicor [11]. Ask Epicor for a written quote and the cloud hosting fee separately. More: is Epicor Eclipse going away.

What drives the Epicor bill

  1. Users. Named or concurrent, full or limited. The single biggest lever [3].

  2. Deployment. Cloud subscription versus on-premises perpetual license plus about 20% yearly maintenance [3][4]. On-premises Kinetic and P21 get their last feature releases in 2028 [12], so a new perpetual license buys a short feature runway.

  3. Modules and add-ons. WMS, advanced planning, CPQ, EDI, ecommerce, analytics and AI agents. Epicor’s Prism Business Communications agent uses outcomes-based pricing: “users only pay for RFQs that convert to purchase orders” [13].

  4. API license. P21 API access is a separately licensed asset, per integrators [14]. See Prophet 21 integration.

  5. Implementation partner. Configuration, data migration, reports and training; usually the largest single line in year one [3][5].

  6. Support tier. Epicor’s support plans and partner support plans are quoted separately; see Prophet 21 training and support.

  7. Customization. DCKAP puts complex customization at “several hundred thousand dollars” and data migration at “a few thousand dollars to several hundred thousand dollars” [9].

  8. Renewals. TheCFOClub notes pricing “may increase after the first year” and that multi-year contracts can earn discounts [4].

Worked examples: first-year, 3-year and 5-year cost

These are estimates built only from the published ranges above, not quotes. Assumptions: a 50-person company with 25 ERP users, and a 200-person company with 80 ERP users; cloud subscription; the subscription is assumed to include hosting and standard support; implementation is paid in year one; no price rises. Math is shown so you can swap in your own quote.

Prophet 21, 50-person distributor, 25 users (ERP Research ranges [5])

  • Subscription: $1,000 + 25 × ($100 to $175) = $3,500 to $5,375 a month = $42,000 to $64,500 a year

  • Implementation (mid-size distributor range): $50,000 to $250,000

  • Year one: $92,000 to $314,500

  • 3 years: $176,000 to $443,500

  • 5 years: $260,000 to $572,500

Prophet 21, 200-person distributor, 80 users (ERP Research ranges [5])

  • Subscription: $1,000 + 80 × ($100 to $175) = $9,000 to $15,000 a month = $108,000 to $180,000 a year

  • Implementation (full published range): $50,000 to $500,000

  • Year one: $158,000 to $680,000

  • 3 years: $374,000 to $1,040,000

  • 5 years: $590,000 to $1,400,000

Kinetic, 50-person manufacturer, 25 users (ERP Research ranges [3])

  • Subscription: ($1,500 to $2,500) + 25 × ($100 to $200) = $4,000 to $7,500 a month = $48,000 to $90,000 a year

  • Implementation (25 to 100 users): $100,000 to $400,000

  • Year one: $148,000 to $490,000

  • 3 years: $244,000 to $670,000

  • 5 years: $340,000 to $850,000

Kinetic, 200-person manufacturer, 80 users (ERP Research ranges [3])

  • Subscription: ($1,500 to $2,500) + 80 × ($100 to $200) = $9,500 to $18,500 a month = $114,000 to $222,000 a year

  • Implementation (25 to 100 users): $100,000 to $400,000

  • Year one: $214,000 to $622,000

  • 3 years: $442,000 to $1,066,000

  • 5 years: $670,000 to $1,510,000

P21, 25 users

  • Year one: $92,000 to $314,500

  • 3 years: $176,000 to $443,500

  • 5 years: $260,000 to $572,500

P21, 80 users

  • Year one: $158,000 to $680,000

  • 3 years: $374,000 to $1,040,000

  • 5 years: $590,000 to $1,400,000

Kinetic, 25 users

  • Year one: $148,000 to $490,000

  • 3 years: $244,000 to $670,000

  • 5 years: $340,000 to $850,000

Kinetic, 80 users

  • Year one: $214,000 to $622,000

  • 3 years: $442,000 to $1,066,000

  • 5 years: $670,000 to $1,510,000

For an on-premises comparison: 25 perpetual users at TheCFOClub’s $3,200 to $4,800 each is $80,000 to $120,000 up front [4], plus about 20% a year in maintenance, $16,000 to $24,000 [3], plus your own servers and IT time, plus implementation.

Where the real cost lives: the work around the ERP

The ERP bill is visible. The larger cost is not on it: the people who sit beside Epicor all day. In a 50-person distributor that is typically the CSRs who retype emailed and PDF orders into P21, the buyers who chase suppliers by phone and then update PO dates, and the reps who look up “where is my order” for every customer who asks. None of that is in the license, and adding Epicor users makes it more expensive, not less.

The modern way is to let an AI system do that work on top of the ERP you already pay for. Morsa reads customer orders from email, PDFs and phone photos and enters them into Kinetic or P21; chases suppliers from the buyer’s own mailbox in their words and updates the PO dates; answers “where is my order” with ERP status and carrier tracking; and flags a slipped PO with the customer orders it hits and a proposed fix for one-tap approval. People approve; Morsa does the typing and chasing. If you move from on-premises to Epicor Cloud, or off Epicor entirely, Morsa runs across both systems during the move.

Morsa’s economics are built the other way round from an ERP deal: a pilot on one live problem first, free when no implementation work is needed, then a share of the value proven in your own numbers. No per-seat licences, no multi-month implementation, live in days, and “We’ll catch a shortage in your plant, or you don’t pay.” At J4S, a 120-person glass plant, on-time completion rose from about 30% to about 75% in four weeks [15]. At JRG Automotive, Morsa caught 5 of 8 production-stopping shortages early, saving $2 million.

Epicor Prophet 21: what P21 is, who uses it, reviews, and the 2028 cloud deadline

Epicor Prophet 21 (P21) is a distribution ERP for wholesale distributors in industrial, electrical, HVAC, plumbing, fasteners, medical supply and similar trades. It runs on Microsoft SQL Server and .NET, in Epicor's Azure cloud or on premises. Epicor has scheduled the final on-premises P21 release, 2028.1, for May 2028; new features after that ship only in the cloud. P21 records orders, stock and purchases; Morsa, the AI operations layer, does the daily work around it, such as entering emailed orders and chasing suppliers, and writes the results back into P21.

Is Epicor Eclipse going away? What Epicor has said, and what to do while you decide

No. As of 21 October 2026, Epicor has announced no end of life, end of sale or end of on-premises releases for Eclipse. Epicor's January 2026 announcement set final on-premises releases for Kinetic, Prophet 21 and BisTrack only. Eclipse shipped release 2026.1 in May 2026, and Epicor's August 2026 Eclipse Cloud guidance describes two major releases a year. The practical move: keep Eclipse, put an AI operations layer like Morsa on it now, and migrate if and when you choose, with Morsa running across Eclipse and the new ERP during the move.

Prophet 21 integration: APIs, SISM, data extraction and reports

Prophet 21 integrates through four API layers exposed by the P21 middleware server (OData for reads, Entity for master records, Transaction for postings, Interactive for screen-style flows) and through SISM, the Scheduled Import Service Manager, for batch file imports. API access is a separately licensed asset. P21 data sits in Microsoft SQL Server, which is why reporting and extraction tools work well. Integration moves structured data between systems; it does not read customer emails or chase suppliers. Morsa does that work and writes the results into P21 through the same APIs.
