Oracle NetSuite is lower by $1,184,140 (expected 5-year cost). Licences account for $70,440 of the gap (in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance & Supply Chain (F&O)'s favour); implementation, run costs (support, hosting) also differ because the two systems fall in different implementation classes with different hour assumptions. The low–high ranges overlap: implementation hours are a wide range for both, so a cheap project on the dearer system can cost less than an expensive project on the cheaper one. The licence difference is the firm part.
