Cost
EDI can cost $29/month or $1,500/month. The difference is not always quality - it is volume, integration depth, and how much hand-holding you need. This page lists every major provider with real published pricing, then calculates your true Year 1 cost including setup, integration, GS1 registration, and internal labor. No sponsorships. No affiliate links.

Hidden cost warning. A low monthly fee can hide per-kilocharacter billing, VAN fees ($100-500/mo extra), per-trading-partner setup fees, and spec maintenance charges when retailers update their EDI guides. EDI Generator and Orderful Web EDI publish all-in pricing. Most others require a direct quote to see the full picture. Always ask: what happens when Target or Nordstrom updates their implementation guide - is that included at no extra charge?
