NetLease Pricing and Netgain Cost by Lease Count

NetLease pricing depends on which NetLease you buy. The standalone edition, sold to teams that are not on NetSuite, publishes its price on the Netgain self sign up page: free for 1 to 10 leases, then $1,200 a year at 10 leases, $4,200 at 50, $6,700 at 100 and $12,700 at 250, with unlimited users on every tier. Above 250 leases, and for the NetSuite SuiteApp edition, the price is a quote.

That makes NetLease one of the few lease accounting products that prints a real number, and it is more transparent than most of the directory listings that describe it. Two of the best known listings still say Netgain offers five free leases and publishes no pricing. The vendor page says otherwise. Everything below comes from the Netgain site itself, checked on September 17, 2026.

How much does NetLease cost?

NetLease has three standalone tiers. Essential is free and covers 1 to 10 leases. Pro is priced by lease count, starting at $1,200 a year for 10 leases and climbing to $12,700 a year at 250. Enterprise covers 250 or more leases and reads Contact us. The sign up page lists the same features on all three tiers, so you are paying for lease count, not for unlocked modules.

Here is the published Pro ladder at the points most US buyers ask about. The page itself offers a dropdown in steps of five leases; we pulled the full table from it.

One quirk worth noticing: the Pro dropdown starts at 10 leases, which is also the ceiling of the free tier. In practice you move to Pro when you add the eleventh lease, and the next published step is 15 leases at $1,575 a year.

What does NetLease cost per lease?

The marginal cost falls in three bands. Between 10 and 45 leases each extra lease adds $75 a year. Between 50 and 95 it adds $50. Between 100 and 250 it adds $40. So a company growing from 100 to 200 leases pays $4,000 more a year, while one growing from 10 to 50 pays $3,000 more for less than half as many new leases.

That structure favors mid-sized portfolios. At 250 leases the average is about $51 per lease per year, which is low for software that produces ASC 842 journal entries, disclosure reports and modification accounting. For comparison, Cradle publishes $99 a month for up to 10 agreements, which is $1,188 a year and almost exactly the NetLease price at 10 leases. We break that one down in Cradle lease accounting pricing.

Is NetLease free?

Yes, for 1 to 10 leases. The Essential tier costs nothing, lists unlimited users, and includes the same feature list as the paid tiers: US GAAP, IFRS and GASB compliance, amortization schedules, lease modifications, early terminations, journal entry reports, disclosure reports and an AI copilot. You open it through self sign up with no sales call, and you upgrade inside the app once the portfolio passes ten leases. There is no published time limit on the free tier.

How much does NetLease for NetSuite cost?

Netgain does not publish a price for the NetSuite edition. Its pricing page says every package is tailored to the products you need and priced during a demo, and it offers interactive click-through demos rather than a trial. The NetSuite version is a native SuiteApp, so its journal entries post straight to the NetSuite general ledger with no connector, and it is usually bought alongside other Netgain modules such as NetAsset or NetClose. Budget for it as a quote, not as the standalone ladder. Our NetSuite lease abstraction page covers how the lease data gets into NetSuite in the first place.

What is included in the NetLease price?

On the standalone sign up page every tier lists the same twelve items: unlimited users, US GAAP, IFRS and GASB compliance, amortization schedules, a copilot powered by OpenAI, lease abstraction powered by OpenAI, lease modifications, early terminations, management reports, journal entry reports and disclosure reports. Netgain also announced a QuickBooks Online integration available to all users at no extra cost, which posts amortization, modification, termination and long-term to short-term reclass entries. Other ERPs take a journal entry export in Excel.

The Netgain pricing page adds that advanced training, extra implementation hours and custom configuration are billed on top. Ask for those in writing before you sign, because on a small portfolio they can exceed the license.

Does NetLease include lease abstraction?

Yes, as a feature inside the accounting workflow. Each tier lists lease abstraction powered by OpenAI, which pre-fills lease fields from an uploaded document for you to review before the schedule runs. That is useful when the lease is simple and the fields NetLease needs are all you want.

It is less useful when the abstract itself is the deliverable. A property manager, a lender or a due diligence team usually needs every clause that matters, the renewal and termination options, CAM terms, critical dates and the page each value came from, exported to a spreadsheet or another system. That is a different job from feeding one accounting engine. A dedicated lease abstraction tool returns those fields with a source link on each one, and the export loads into NetLease or anything else.

How does NetLease pricing compare with Black Owl Systems and FinQuery?

Most of the category does not publish a number. Black Owl Systems names five tiers and every one reads Contact Sales. FinQuery publishes a price only for its small LeaseGuru product. Visual Lease and LeaseAccelerator publish nothing. Against that field, a vendor that shows you the price at 10, 100 and 250 leases before you give it an email address is doing buyers a real favor.

If Black Owl is the other name on your shortlist, our side by side of NetLease vs Black Owl Systems covers lessor accounting, QuickBooks fit and deployment time. For the wider field, see NetLease alternatives.

Is NetLease worth it?

For a US company with 10 to 250 leases that closes in QuickBooks Online or exports journal entries to another ERP, the published price is hard to beat, and GASB coverage makes it a real option for governments and universities too. It is the wrong fit if you are a lessor outside NetSuite, since the Netgain lessor product, NetLessor, is NetSuite only. If you already run NetSuite, the SuiteApp is the natural choice, but it is a quoted purchase and you should compare that quote against the standalone ladder above.

Small companies running their whole close in QuickBooks Online tend to hit the same wall twice: leases arrive as PDFs and so do bank statements. The QuickBooks integration handles the lease entries once the data is in, and if the other half of your close still starts from PDFs, you can convert bank statements into QuickBooks files the same way instead of keying them.

What should I budget beyond the license?

Three things. First, the time to get each lease into the system, which is the part the license price never shows. A commercial lease with amendments takes an experienced analyst four to eight hours to abstract by hand, and the AI pre-fill still needs a careful review against the document. Second, implementation and training hours, which Netgain bills separately. Third, the growth step: at 45 leases you pay $3,825, and the next five leases move you into Tier 2 at $4,200.

The cheapest way to control the first cost is to abstract your leases before you choose a platform. You find out how many leases you really have, which ones have renewal options and escalations that will drive modifications, and which documents are missing pages. Upload two of your messiest leases here and you will know your real field list before any demo. Our breakdown of ASC 842 lease accounting software cost covers the rest of the budget.
