Marg ERP · India Pricing
Marg is one of the few Indian business software products still sold as a one-time perpetual licence rather than a subscription, and that is a large part of its appeal to owner-run distribution and pharmacy businesses. "Lifetime" is accurate for the licence itself — you own that version permanently. What it does not include is updates and support, which come through an annual maintenance contract. Understanding that split is the whole of Marg pricing.

Single user, wider feature set
Multi-user and multi-location
Optional but effectively necessary
The point most buyers miss: GST rules change, and a Marg installation without AMC will eventually be out of step with current return formats or e-invoice requirements. Treat AMC as part of the cost of ownership, not as an optional extra — the perpetual licence is genuinely perpetual, but a billing system that cannot file correctly is not much use. Also budget separately for implementation: item master creation, opening stock and balance entry, and staff training. For a distribution business with thousands of SKUs, that data work is a real project.

Yes, for the licence itself — you buy a version and own it permanently, with no subscription that can expire and lock you out. What is not perpetual is updates and support, which come through the annual maintenance contract. Skipping AMC leaves the software running but frozen.
Indicatively, Basic ₹8,100, Silver ₹12,600 and Gold ₹25,200 per licence, one-time. Multi-user deployments multiply by concurrent user count. Add AMC at roughly 15-20% of licence value per year, plus one-time implementation work for data setup and training.
The software continues to work — that is the advantage of a perpetual licence. But you stop receiving updates, including changes required when GST rules or e-invoice formats change, and you lose access to technical support. Most businesses that skip AMC renew it in a hurry when a filing format changes.
Usually, past about three years. A ₹12,600 Silver licence plus AMC at roughly ₹2,000 a year totals under ₹20,000 across four years. A subscription product at ₹500 a month is ₹24,000 over the same period. The trade is capital outlay now against smaller recurring cost, plus the certainty that you cannot be locked out.
Yes, as an upgrade against the difference in licence value rather than a fresh purchase, subject to current upgrade terms. Your data carries forward. Businesses commonly start on Silver and move to Gold when they add a second user or a second location.
Get Marg quoted as a one-time licence with GST invoice — plus item master setup, opening balance migration and staff training so it is usable from day one.
