"We Almost Bought NetSuite..."
"NetSuite quoted us $145K for the first year. MonitorZ gave us everything we needed for under $8K. We're a 25-person job shop - we can't justify $12K/month. MonitorZ has the same features we needed at a price that actually makes sense."

First Year Savings
"NetSuite required 10 users minimum at $999 each, but we only had 6 people who needed the system. We'd be paying for 4 unused licenses. MonitorZ's tier pricing means we only pay for what we need. Smart business."
