Where each one falls short

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

ApparelMagic

  • User count limits by tier: Professional plan limited to 3 users, Enterprise to 5 users
  • Integration limits: Professional plan supports only 3 integrations, Enterprise 5, Ultimate unlimited
  • Warehouse limits: Professional supports 3, Enterprise 5, Ultimate unlimited
  • B2B store access limited: Professional plan restricted to 1 store, Enterprise 3, Ultimate unlimited
  • Additional cost for sales representatives at $40-50 per month

ProShop ERP

  • It runs on a Microsoft stack with Internet Information Services and SQL Server, so a shop choosing on premises deployment needs a Windows server and someone to maintain it, which is not what buyers expect when they hear browser based.
  • The software is opinionated and expects the shop to adopt its processes, so a shop determined to keep its existing habits gets a poor result and blames the tool.
  • Everything depends on operators entering time and status at each operation, and a shop that cannot enforce that discipline ends up with costing and scheduling data that nobody trusts.
  • It is not a machine monitoring product and does not read controllers, so spindle utilisation and automatic cycle counting require a separate product such as a monitoring platform.
  • The partner ecosystem is very small, so implementation, training and any customisation come from the vendor, and there is no market of independent consultants to fall back on or to price against.
