These two have served their customers well and performed exceptionally to their maximum extent otherwise they won't be able to create a reputation for their name or brand. Although both of them have great capabilities to cater the needs and meet the standards of accounting, there are also many factors that differentiate these two.A quick overview of Peachtree and Sage MAS 90 accounting software:Peachtree is a great entry-level for micro and small business establishments. Peachtree is available with Pro, Complete, Premium and Quantum Edition. The prices, features and comprehensiveness increases respectively.
The price starts off from a hundred dollars to a thousand dollars depending on the number of user licenses and the edition of the software. It offers the basic standard accounting capabilities, limited feature set and database functionality. Because of its design limitations, it may need require upgrading to a more powerful accounting software as the business grows.Sage MAS 90 ERP is a small-midmarket level business management and accounting software. It was originally an accounting software when it was first released but today, after 25 years of innovation, it has become a modular ERP software and its accounting functionality is available in the Core Accounting module. Sage MAS 90 can handle up to 10 concurrent users, runs on a LAN under Windows Servers. It is best suitable for businesses with an annual revenue between $1 million to $50 million.

Price starts off between $10,000 to $15,000 depending on the number of users and modules included.A brief comparison on Sage MAS 90 and Peachtree along with its functionality and limitations:As soon as your company grows, you need more users to access the accounting software. Peachtree is limited up to 5 users only unless you upgrade it to Quantum Edition which can cater up to 40 users.
