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 SAP Business One if
- It lists 8 features Sage 200 does not, including bank reconciliation.
Choose Sage 200 if
- You can trial it before paying — SAP Business One lists no free trial.
- It lists 9 features SAP Business One does not, including crm integration.
- It covers more of the UK obligations we check — 2 of them against 1.
On verified Assaylist reviews, Sage 200 currently rates 4.1 against 4.0 for SAP Business One. That gap is not the whole story: SAP Business One starts at a quoted price and Sage 200 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.
