The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Adyen there is a minimum monthly invoice, set by industry and business model and only disclosed through the sales team, so small volumes are not economic; Plex Manufacturing Cloud the Internet Archive's capture of Plex Systems' homepage on 24 December 2019 named two distinct products, Plex Manufacturing Cloud and Plex Classic, sold only via 'Product Demo' with no price figure published.
  • They diverge on capability: Adyen covers Payment processing, Plex Manufacturing Cloud covers Manufacturing execution.

Where each one falls short

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

Adyen

  • There is a minimum monthly invoice, set by industry and business model and only disclosed through the sales team, so small volumes are not economic
  • Published fees are indicative rather than a rate card, with real pricing negotiated
  • Interchange++ means the card cost varies per transaction rather than being a single predictable percentage
  • Alternative payment methods carry their own rates on top, such as 3.3 percent plus $0.10 for American Express in North America

Plex Manufacturing Cloud

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Plex Systems' homepage on 24 December 2019 named two distinct products, Plex Manufacturing Cloud and Plex Classic, sold only via 'Product Demo' with no price figure published.
