The short version

  • Each has a real cost: AMFG no pricing is published in any form, and the product is sold by module and site, so total cost is invisible until you are several sales calls in.; Augury the per-machine annual fee never stops, so over a five to eight year horizon the total exceeds buying sensors and software outright and running the programme yourself.
  • They diverge on capability: AMFG covers Geometric auto-quoting, Augury covers Halo sensors.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

AMFG

  • No pricing is published in any form, and the product is sold by module and site, so total cost is invisible until you are several sales calls in.
  • Automated quoting only becomes accurate once your cost model, machine rates and material data are properly loaded, so the value arrives months after go-live and early quotes need human checking.
  • The product started in additive manufacturing and has pivoted its marketing towards CNC machine shops, which means some CNC-specific depth is newer than the additive lineage and worth testing against your actual process mix.
  • It overlaps heavily with ERP and MES scope, so shops with an existing ERP face an ownership decision over scheduling and customer records that is a political problem, not a technical one.
  • It is a comparatively small vendor against established shop-floor systems, so integration work into an incumbent ERP will fall largely on you or a partner rather than on a pre-built certified connector.

Augury

  • The per-machine annual fee never stops, so over a five to eight year horizon the total exceeds buying sensors and software outright and running the programme yourself.
  • Coverage is aimed at standard rotating equipment; reciprocating compressors, very low-speed machinery and non-rotating assets are poorly served, so you still need a second monitoring approach.
  • Diagnoses depend on Augurys analysts, which means the quality of your programme is set by a vendor queue you do not control and turnaround is not something you can escalate internally.
  • The sensors and the analytics are one system, so leaving Augury means removing the hardware and starting again; there is no path to keep the sensors and change the software.
  • Pricing is unpublished and negotiated per fleet, so buyers have no benchmark and comparable plants can pay materially different per-machine rates.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

AMFG: Does AMFG replace my ERP?

No. It covers quoting through shop-floor execution and quality. Finance, purchasing and inventory usually stay in the ERP, and you must decide which system owns scheduling.

Augury: Do I buy the sensors?

No. Sensors, gateways, connectivity and installation are included in the per-machine annual fee.

AMFG: Is it only for 3D printing?

No, though that is where it started. It now targets CNC machine shops as well and markets quoting for machining, sheet metal and additive.

Augury: Is there a per-user licence?

No. The web application allows unlimited users; the meter is monitored machines.

AMFG: How accurate is automated quoting out of the box?

Not accurate until your machine rates, materials and cost model are configured. Treat the first months of quotes as assisted rather than automatic.

Augury: Who does the diagnosis?

Machine-learning models flag issues and Augury vibration analysts review them before a finding is released to you.

AMFG: Is pricing published?

No. It is quoted by number of users, sites and selected modules.

Augury: What happens if we cancel?

The sensors are part of the service and monitoring stops; you do not retain a usable standalone system.
