Sage

Sage does not publish standard AUD pricing for the Australian market. Pricing is available by quote, and the cost depends on the plan, number of users, and any add-ons such as payroll. Contact Sage directly or request a quote to get pricing specific to your business needs.

Yes. Sage supports GST reporting and BAS preparation for Australian businesses. STP Phase 2 payroll reporting is available on Standard and higher plans. The software is compliant with Australian tax requirements, though the product has a stronger presence in the UK and European markets than locally.

Payroll is available as a separate add-on (Add-on) through Sage Payroll. It is not included in the base accounting subscription. Pricing for the payroll add-on is also available by quote.

The base Sage plan includes 1 user. Additional users are typically available at an added cost, with the specifics dependent on the plan you choose. For teams needing multiple concurrent users, this is worth clarifying when requesting a quote.

Sage is positioned for mid-market and larger businesses that need a globally recognised accounting platform with the ability to scale. It is a particularly strong fit for Australian operations of international companies already using Sage elsewhere, or businesses that have outgrown the small-business tiers of Xero and MYOB and need deeper financial management capabilities.

For most small Australian businesses, Xero or MYOB are more practical choices because they offer transparent AUD pricing, a large local accountant network, and purpose-built Australian compliance tools from the entry tier. Sage is better suited to mid-sized or international businesses where its global platform, multi-entity support, and enterprise-grade reporting are genuinely required.
