PYLR says pricing is a conversation.
Ours is on the website.

A published price versus a quoted one

PYLR states plainly that pricing is a conversation, not a rate card. That may work out fine for you. It also means you cannot compare before you talk to a salesperson. Every Ruby price is public: ERP $750 per month plus $90 per user, CRM $75 per user, Price Management $25 per state, Broker Platform $50 per broker.

Accounting included, or a second line item

PYLR's full accounting is priced separately from the core platform, and it will sync to QuickBooks if you want to keep it. Ruby Pro ERP's accounting is integrated and multi-currency, inside the base price, and is a full QuickBooks replacement. Two reasonable designs, but the second invoice is easy to miss when you are comparing.

Per seat versus unlimited users

This one can go against us. PYLR includes unlimited users with no per-seat fees. We charge $90 per user on the ERP. If you have a large rep force all needing access, run the arithmetic. Where we usually come out lower is a small back office on ERP seats with the field on CRM seats instead.

The supplier side of the three-tier system

PYLR describes itself as built for the wholesale distribution side only. If you are a supplier or importer setting FOB prices into distributors state by state, Ruby Price Management models real margin after excise tax, freight, laid-in cost, depletion allowances, and every deal level, for $25 per state per month, alongside any accounting system.

Auditing the billbacks a distributor sends you

PYLR reports depletions to suppliers, which is the distributor's side of the exchange. Ruby runs the supplier's side as well: because pricing lives in a database, a supplier can audit every depletion allowance billback a distributor sends against the deal that was actually approved. That is where the money usually leaks.

Broker groups, and the license map

PYLR does not serve broker groups. The Ruby Broker Platform does, at $50 per broker per month. And Ruby CRM puts 350,000+ active alcohol licenses on a map with target lists, chain and national account tracking, and rep goals for visits, cases, placements, and display wins.

What the move costs

• No implementation fee. You pay the first month up front. That is the whole risk.
• We load your data. Customers, items, pricing, open balances, and as much history as you want to bring.
• About three weeks for a straightforward setup. Billing starts at go-live.
• 30-day out. Month to month, no lock-in.
• Or start smaller. Price Management is $25 per state per month and touches nothing else you run.

Where PYLR is the right answer

If you have a large field team and want every one of them in the system without counting seats, PYLR's unlimited-user subscription is a genuine advantage over our per-user pricing. If you want to keep QuickBooks and sync to it rather than replace it, that is their default and our alternative. And if a mobile-first rep experience with an AI copilot is what will actually get your reps to use the thing, that is a reasonable reason to choose them.

What we would weigh against it: you cannot see the price before you call, accounting is a separate line item, and PYLR covers the distribution side only. If you also sell into distributors as a supplier, or run a broker group, that half of your business stays on spreadsheets.
