## What MRPeasy actually is

MRPeasy is cloud manufacturing software for small manufacturers, covering production planning, shop-floor control, inventory, purchasing, CRM and reporting. It is licensed per user across Starter, Professional, Enterprise and Unlimited tiers with volume discounts above ten users, billed monthly or annually. The company is explicit that there is no module-based pricing, no paywalled functionality within a plan, and no mandatory implementation or training package - optional training hours and advanced support are priced separately. Support is delivered through a ticket system rather than on site. For a small manufacturer with a capable person willing to set it up, that model works and the pricing is transparent.

## What MRPeasy does well

- Straightforward per-user pricing with no module upsells and no mandatory implementation fee - refreshingly clear.
- Real MRP capability at a small-business price point, including bills of materials, routings and shop-floor reporting.
- A long free trial and a self-service model that lets you find out whether it fits before spending anything meaningful.
- ISO 27001 certification and a mature, stable product with a substantial small-manufacturer customer base.

## Side by side

| Dimension | MRPeasy | CubeERP |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Model | Self-service, remote ticket support | Implemented and supported in person, nationwide |
| Pricing | Per user across four tiers, volume discounts above ten users | Per named user, single tier, everything included |
| Implementation | Not required; optional paid training hours | Five stages, fixed price each, on site |
| Scope | Manufacturing, inventory, purchasing, CRM | Those plus quoting, field service, EDI, despatch and multi-site warehouse |
| Bespoke work | Configuration within the product | Bespoke development available from the platform authors |
| Who owns the outcome | You do | We do, in writing |

## Worth checking before you sign

- **Support is remote and ticket-based:** The model is a ticket system with optional paid advanced support and training hours. That keeps the price low. It also means nobody is coming to look at your shop floor, and the quality of your configuration is down to whoever sets it up.
- **Tiers gate capability, not modules:** There are no module charges, but the four plan levels do differ in what they include. The relevant comparison is your required tier, not the entry tier.
- **Implementation is yours:** MRPeasy is explicit that no implementation package is required. That is also a statement about who does the work. If nobody internally owns the setup, that is a risk regardless of how good the software is.
- **Scope stops at manufacturing:** Field service, complex quoting workflows, EDI trading and multi-site warehouse operations are outside what it sets out to do. That focus is why it is simple.

## When MRPeasy is the better choice

If you are a small manufacturer with a technically confident person who will own the setup, straightforward production and no appetite for a consultancy relationship, MRPeasy is a good product at a fair price and you should try the free trial before speaking to us. Their pricing transparency is better than most of this market and we will not pretend otherwise.

## What leaving MRPeasy involves

- **The trigger is usually complexity, not size:** People move when the operation acquires something MRPeasy does not cover - field service, a second warehouse, EDI trading, engineered-to-order quoting - rather than because they got bigger.
- **Or because nobody owns it:** The other common reason is that the person who set it up has left, and the configuration is now nobody’s. If that is the situation, be clear that what you are buying next is accountability.
- **Data structures map cleanly:** Bills of materials, routings, stock and order data come across in a well-understood shape, which makes this one of the more predictable migrations.

## Frequently asked questions

**MRPeasy is cheaper. What are we paying for?**

On-site discovery, configuration done for you, training your team in the building, a named support contact with agreed response times, and modules MRPeasy does not cover. If you do not need those, MRPeasy is better value and you should take it.

**Do you also avoid module-based pricing?**

Yes. All 14 CubeERP modules are in the base product with no tiers and no add-ons. It is one of the few things we and MRPeasy fully agree on.

**When is MRPeasy not enough?**

When you need field service scheduling, EDI trading with a major customer, multi-site warehouse operations with bin-level control, or quoting workflows for engineered-to-order work.

**Is migration difficult?**

Not particularly. The data model is close enough that bills of materials, routings, stock and open orders transfer predictably. It is usually one of the shorter migrations we quote.

**Should we just try MRPeasy first?**

If you are a small manufacturer and unsure, yes. Their free trial costs you nothing but time, and finding out that a simpler system is enough is a better outcome for you than buying ours and under-using it.
