The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 3YOURMIND no pricing is published, and the suite is modular, so the quoted figure depends on which of the three product lines you take; the widely repeated 10,000 euro figure comes from third-party directories, not the vendor.; NetSuite pricing is quote-based and renewal increases are a persistent and well-documented complaint, so negotiate the renewal terms in the first contract rather than the first year price
  • They diverge on capability: 3YOURMIND covers Part identification, NetSuite covers Unified financials.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

3YOURMIND

  • No pricing is published, and the suite is modular, so the quoted figure depends on which of the three product lines you take; the widely repeated 10,000 euro figure comes from third-party directories, not the vendor.
  • The part identification module only produces useful output if ERP master data and consumption history are clean, and organisations with poor material master data spend the first phase on data quality rather than printing.
  • It is enterprise-scale software aimed at fleets and networks; a shop with a handful of machines gets more from a printer vendor own job management at no extra cost.
  • Machine integration depth varies by manufacturer, so a mixed fleet including smaller or newer OEMs often needs manual steps that undermine the automated scheduling case.
  • The company is a mid-sized independent in a sector that has consolidated heavily, and buyers making a multi-year distributed manufacturing commitment are exposed to that if ownership changes.

NetSuite

  • Pricing is quote-based and renewal increases are a persistent and well-documented complaint, so negotiate the renewal terms in the first contract rather than the first year price
  • Implementation is a project measured in months with partner fees that routinely match or exceed the first year licence
  • Per-user licensing makes occasional access expensive, and companies frequently under-license then discover the constraint in use
  • Customisation through SuiteScript accumulates, and heavily customised accounts become harder and costlier to upgrade
  • Reporting is capable but unintuitive, and most finance teams still export to a spreadsheet for board reporting

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

3YOURMIND: What does 3YOURMIND cost?

The vendor publishes nothing. Expect an annual subscription quoted per module, plus integration work. Third-party listings cite roughly 10,000 euro a year as an entry point, which should be treated as unverified.

NetSuite: What does NetSuite actually cost?

Not published. The structure is a base platform licence plus per-user licences plus modules, on an annual contract, with implementation quoted separately. The implementation frequently matches or exceeds the first year licence.

3YOURMIND: Is it a slicer?

No. It sits above build preparation, handling part selection, orders, scheduling and traceability, and integrates with preparation tools such as Netfabb and Magics.

NetSuite: Why do people complain about renewals?

Renewal increases are the most consistent complaint from NetSuite customers. The leverage is at first signature, so negotiate renewal caps into the initial contract rather than assuming the first-year discount persists.

3YOURMIND: Who actually uses it?

Large asset operators and service bureaus. Public references include US Navy distributed manufacturing and energy sector digital inventory programmes.

NetSuite: When should a company move off QuickBooks?

Usually when reconciliation between finance, inventory and sales systems has become a recurring job rather than an occasional task, or when an audit, funding round or acquisition requires financials that withstand examination.

3YOURMIND: Can it run on-premise?

Yes. On-premise deployment is offered, which matters for defence and critical infrastructure customers.

NetSuite: Is it the same as Oracle Fusion ERP?

No. Oracle owns both. NetSuite serves the mid-market; Oracle Fusion Cloud ERP targets large enterprises. They are separate products with separate roadmaps.

NetSuite: What is the biggest implementation risk?

Underestimating the partner effort and over-customising early. Customisation through SuiteScript is easy to add and expensive to carry, and heavily customised accounts are the ones that struggle at upgrade.
