What you would be giving up
ProShop ERP is most often brought in for a machine shop pursuing or holding as9100 registration that currently maintains quality records separately from its erp, a high mix low volume shop where every job has different routings and paper travellers keep going missing, a contract manufacturer needing material certification and lot traceability from receipt through to shipped part, a shop with 1990s machines that wants shop floor data capture through operator kiosks because the controllers cannot be read. Anything replacing it has to cover the ones you actually depend on, and a cheaper tool that misses one of them is not cheaper.
Two things this page cannot settle. It compares on price, model, tier count and rating, because those are the fields the category listing carries, feature-level differences need both full records, which is what the head-to-head pages load. And the ratings are third-party aggregates imported with each entry rather than reviews written here, so a 0.2 difference between two tools is noise rather than a finding.
If ProShop ERP is broadly right and the question is cost, the ProShop ERP pricing breakdown covers every tier and what each one adds. If you want the whole field rather than a shortlist, the Manufacturing category lists everything the directory holds, and best manufacturing tools ranks them.
ProShop ERP runs on web, windows. Platform coverage is not carried on the category listing for the alternatives, so it is one more thing to check on each head-to-head page rather than here.
