Per-Seat Pricing, Compared

Liquor Logic vs Ekos

Add a new staff member, add a line item. That's the trade-off with Ekos's per-user pricing model — a cost that quietly scales with your headcount rather than your production, on top of a quote you have to ask for. Here's what changes when neither of those is true.

Liquor Logic
VS
Ekos
The Per-User Math

Ekos, owned by Next Glass, is a genuinely capable multi-beverage platform with strong US TTB compliance and solid QuickBooks/Xero accounting integration — the core functionality is not in question. The friction shows up in two places: pricing is tiered and only available after a sales conversation, and the tiers scale by user seat, so a growing floor and warehouse team becomes a growing line item. Add a US-centric compliance and currency setup, and Ekos becomes a harder fit the further you operate from American borders. Liquor Logic answers all three at once — every plan includes unlimited users, the price is published, and compliance spans South Africa, the EU, UK, USA and Australia.

Frequently Asked Questions

Nothing extra on Liquor Logic — every plan from R349/month includes unlimited users. Ekos's tiered pricing is per-user, so headcount growth directly increases the bill; see Pricing for the published Liquor Logic plans.

Ekos's US TTB compliance is a genuine strength and worth weighing on its own terms if that's your only market. Liquor Logic's compliance coverage spans multiple countries including the USA, which matters more once you sell, source, or expand beyond it.

Ekos offers a basic barrel aging capability and limited contract production support. Liquor Logic builds these out further, alongside bonded storage and event management, all included rather than gated behind add-ons. Full list on Features.
