In 2026, prices for 1C support are determined by the terms of the commercial proposal and the agreement: in the price list under review, the annual cost starts from 261 000 ₸ for 1C:ITS Econ, amounts to 350 900 ₸ for 1C:ITS PROF Standard and 512 575 ₸ for 1C:ITS PROF Expert. The cited articles of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan do not establish such rates; the final amount depends on the number of databases, included hours, services, customisations and agreed terms.
What 1C prices consist of
The query “prices in 1C” may refer to the cost of the software itself, regular support, updates, configuration or individual services. There is no single price for all companies: an accountant must first determine which tasks the product should cover and how many infobases will need to be serviced.
When selecting a budget, it is useful to divide expenses into several parts:
- purchase of software and licences;
- an information technology support agreement — 1C:ITS;
- database updates, installation and configuration;
- data migration and report customisation;
- connection of services for electronic invoices, electronic document management, cash registers and reporting;
- specialist training and consultations.
The purchase price of specific software is not indicated in the provided price list. Therefore, prices for “1C:Accounting”, industry-specific solutions, additional workstations and licences should be requested separately, taking into account the required configuration and number of users.
It is especially important for an accountant not to confuse the cost of the software with the price of its subsequent maintenance. Even if the database has already been purchased, the company may need regular updates due to changes in Kazakhstan’s legislation, consultations, error correction and configuration of electronic services.
1C support — prices and rate contents
The 2026 price list specifies three support options:
- 1C:ITS Econ — 261 000 ₸ per year. According to the terms of the proposal, the rate is designed for a maximum of two databases, includes four specialist hours and one 1C update per quarter. An additional hour is priced at 22 765 ₸.
- 1C:ITS PROF Standard — 350 900 ₸ per year. The proposal provides support for up to five databases, ten specialist hours, prompt updates and a 7% discount on courses. An additional hour is priced at 22 040 ₸.
- 1C:ITS PROF Expert — 512 575 ₸ per year. Under the terms of the proposal, the rate covers up to ten databases, includes twenty specialist hours, prompt updates and a 10% discount on courses. An additional hour is priced at 21 170 ₸.
Support under the selected agreement may include regular updates, access to the 1C:ITS information system, consultation lines, assistance with installing updates and connecting services. The proposal also lists a dedicated specialist, error detection and analysis, assistance with reports, electronic invoice configuration and personalised training. Before payment, these services and their scope should be specified in the agreement or rate specification.
For 1C:ITS PROF users without included hours, as well as for support provided under separate terms, the price list specifies a specialist rate of 29 725 ₸ per hour. For industry-specific solutions, the recommended annual 1C:ITS prices are provided by category: the regular rate is from 63 000 to 504 000 ₸, and the discounted rate is from 42 000 to 336 000 ₸. The conditions for applying the regular or discounted price must be reflected in the contractor’s proposal.
It is better to compare 1C support prices based on more than just the agreement amount. The number of databases serviced, update frequency, number of included hours and cost of work beyond the limit are also important. A company with several databases and regular support requests may choose a rate with a higher annual price if the included package of hours corresponds to the actual scope of tasks.
1C maintenance: prices for standard work
Prices for maintaining 1C:Accounting and other standard solutions in the price list are calculated by individual operation and, as a rule, are specified for one database. For clients with 1C:ITS Econ and higher, updating a standard database by one release is estimated at one billable hour — 22 765 ₸. For 1C:ITS PROF without hours and maintenance under separate terms, the specified price is 29 725 ₸.
Platform installation or licence installation or reinstallation is calculated for 30 minutes and priced at 11 390 or 14 870 ₸, respectively. Configuration of standard data exchange between “Accounting” and Trade Management, Payroll and HR, “Retail” or Small Business Management using empty databases is estimated at one hour — 22 765 or 29 725 ₸. Data migration is calculated for five hours of work: 113 825 or 148 625 ₸.
Other examples of prices from the price list:
- configuration of electronic invoices or electronic certificates of work performed — 11 390 or 14 870 ₸ for 30 minutes;
- configuration of standard user permissions — 22 765 or 29 725 ₸;
- report customisation lasting five hours or more — from 113 900 or 148 700 ₸;
- technical database analysis lasting ten hours — 227 650 or 297 250 ₸;
- configuration of a printer, scanner, scales or other equipment — 22 765 or 29 725 ₸ per hour;
- connection of 1C:Webkassa lasting two hours — 45 530 or 59 450 ₸.
Migration between configurations is assessed separately based on the data involved. In the price list, migration of reference data and balances from Manufacturing Enterprise Management to Trade Management 3.4 is calculated for twenty hours and priced at 455 300 or 594 500 ₸. A separate estimate of fifteen hours is provided for migrating balances from Payroll and HR 2.0 to Payroll and HR 3.1 — 243 600 or 321 300 ₸. Since these two amounts do not correspond to simply multiplying the hourly rates specified earlier, the final fixed price and list of data to be migrated must be expressly specified in the estimate.
The implementation price is determined after an assessment: the number of users, modules, integrations, customisations and requirements of the terms of reference are taken into account. Before approving the estimate, the list of databases, operations, expected result, acceptance procedure, cost of stages and rules for paying for additional hours should be documented.
Prices for 1C services and budget selection
Some services may be provided as part of support, while others are paid for separately. In the price list for 1C:Electronic Invoices, an additional BIN is priced at 1 800 ₸ per month or 7 200 ₸ for 12 months, while a package for three BINs costs 21 600 ₸ for 12 months. For 1C:Electronic Document Management, service for one organisation is offered without a separate fee under a PROF agreement; for other terms, the specified price is 42 000 ₸ per organisation for 12 months.
A 1C:Webkassa activation card is priced at 3 000 ₸ per month, 16 900 ₸ for six months or 29 500 ₸ per year. The fiscal data operator’s rate is paid separately. For 1C:Reporting, service for one BIN is offered without a separate fee under a valid agreement, while 1C:Marking for Retail is priced at 36 000 ₸ for 12 months. The applicability of each condition should be specified in the agreement.
The configuration of electronic documents must correspond to the company’s operations. In particular, the obligation to issue a goods accompanying consignment note arises no later than the start of the movement, sale or shipment of goods within Kazakhstan; for imports from an EAEU member state, the document must be issued before crossing the State Border of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The list of goods, forms and document workflow procedure are determined by the authorised body (Article 179 of the Tax Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan).
To compare 1C services and prices without unaccounted-for expenses, request a written calculation. It should separately show the support agreement, included hours, work beyond the package, licences, paid services and possible data migration. It should also specify whether the price is quoted for one database, one BIN, one organisation or the entire agreed scope of service.
