Price the same workload.
Give each provider the same list: people who need access, employees to pay, monthly invoices, bank accounts, stock and connected apps. Ask for the normal ongoing price as well as any introductory offer.
Then add migration, training and bookkeeping support to your first-year estimate. A plan that needs fewer workarounds may suit your business better than one with a lower headline price.
