NetDocuments Pricing – Implementation

We’ll start our analysis of NetDocuments pricing with a review of typical implementation costs.

When a new customer buys the software, NetDocuments does not manage the implementation (also referred to as onboarding) itself. Instead, NetDocuments will refer new clients to an Authorized Consultant. This is an individual or company that is in the business of performing software migrations and will usually have experience with NetDocuments.

As a result of this system, NetDocuments pricing relating to implementation varies and is set by the given Authorized Consultant that a new firm has been assigned to.

At Uptime Legal, we work with numerous clients and consultants for NetDocuments, and the ranges below represent typical implementation costs for NetDocuments.

NetDocuments Implementation Pricing

Firm of 1 to 5 Users: $2,500- $5,000
Firms of 6 to 20 Users: $5,000 – $10,000
Firms of 21 to 50 Users: $10,000 – $20,000
Firms of 50 Users or More: $20,000 +

NetDocuments Pricing – Monthly

We’ll continue our analysis of NetDocuments pricing with a review of typical monthly costs.

As we described earlier, NetDocuments does not publish pricing or otherwise make the cost of their software public. While some may find this to just be a disingenuous sales tactic, it does make finding information on monthly NetDocuments pricing difficult.

The information below represents the most current and most accurate known pricing — gathered from our clients and partners that have implemented NetDocuments. Again, this information may change and is ultimately at the discretion of NetDocuments.

NetDocuments Monthly Pricing

The monthly price for NetDocuments is largely based on number of users, amount of storage needed, and any options added on.
Users and consultants report pricing from $50 to $65 / user / month, usually with a minimum of 3 or 5 users.
Selecting certain add-ons and options such as ndOffice, ndMail, and OCR integration may cost extra.
