A dash means the vendor has not published a feature list — which is not the same as the feature being unavailable.
How they handle UK obligations
Checked against the vendor's own documentation or HMRC's published list. A dash means we have not verified it — never that it is missing.

What each tier costs
Both line-ups on one ladder, so the middle tier on one side sits next to the middle tier on the other.

Rungs are matched by position in each vendor’s own line-up, not by what the tiers include — an entry plan on one side may cover more than the other. Prices exclude VAT unless stated, and per-seat plans are quoted per seat. Always confirm on the vendor’s own site.
Which should you choose?
Two answers, because there are two right ones depending on what you need.
Choose Epicor Kinetic if
- It lists 11 features SAP Business One does not, including bill of materials.
Choose SAP Business One if
- Reviewers score it higher on support — 4.0 against 3.8.
- It lists 10 features Epicor Kinetic does not, including bank reconciliation.
On verified Assaylist reviews, Epicor Kinetic currently rates 4.0 against 4.0 for SAP Business One. That gap is not the whole story: Epicor Kinetic starts at a quoted price and SAP Business One at a quoted price, so the right answer depends on the tier you actually need and on which one handles your UK obligations. Read both profiles before you commit, and confirm current pricing on the vendor's own site.
