Software pricing questions in Pune almost always start with 'what is the cost of Busy' and end with 'why is my quote different from my neighbour's'. The answer is that the licence is only one of four cost lines: the edition, the number of concurrent users, the one-time implementation effort, and the recurring cost of cloud hosting or AMC. A shop with one user and no stock and a distributor with four users and two godowns are buying quite different things.
This page lays out each line so you can budget accurately, and flags the places where Pune businesses commonly over-buy or under-buy.
A perpetual licence is a one-time purchase for a specific edition and user count. You keep using that version indefinitely; a major version upgrade later is charged separately. This suits established Pune businesses with stable processes that do not want a yearly renewal on the books.
Prices below are indicative list prices for a single user, exclusive of 18% GST. Multi-user configurations add per-user cost rather than repeating the base price.
Subscription plans (START, SMART, POWER) bundle updates and are billed yearly. They lower the entry cost, which is why newer firms in Hinjewadi, Kharadi and Baner often start here, and they keep you on the current release automatically — useful when GST portal requirements change mid-year.
Implementation effort is real work: masters setup, opening balances, migration from Tally or Excel, invoice format design and training. For a simple firm it is a few hours; for a distributor with a large item master it is several days. We quote it explicitly rather than hiding it in the licence price.
The other commonly forgotten items are a proper server or a decent always-on PC for multi-user LAN setups, a backup routine, and cloud hosting if remote access is needed. Skipping the backup line is the most expensive saving a business can make.
Buy for concurrent users, not headcount. Buy the edition your workflow needs today; user packs and upgrades can be added later without repurchasing. Do not buy production modules for a trading business. And compare a multi-user LAN setup against cloud on total cost — for a two-user firm the LAN is usually cheaper, while for a three-location group cloud almost always wins once you count servers, backups and lost time.
We quote against a short checklist: legal entity and GSTIN, number of simultaneous users, whether you carry stock and in how many locations, whether you need job work or production, whether e-invoicing applies to your turnover, and whether anyone needs access from outside the office. Give us those six answers and you get a firm price the same working day.

Indicatively ₹11,000 for Basic, ₹16,500 for Standard and ₹22,000 for Enterprise per single user on a perpetual licence, plus 18% GST. Subscription plans start near ₹5,000 per year. Final price depends on users, add-ons and cloud hosting.
Yes, 18% GST applies. We issue a proper tax invoice so registered businesses can claim input credit.
Additional concurrent users are charged as a per-user addition to the base edition, not as a full second licence. We quote the exact differential for your user count.
There is a free trial for evaluation. For production use with GST filing and support you need a licensed edition.
Cloud hosting is quoted per user per year and depends on data size and simultaneous sessions. It is commonly combined with an existing perpetual licence.
Basic installation and first-level training are included with a licence purchase in Pune. Extended implementation, migration and custom report work are quoted separately and transparently.
