The short version

  • Only MRPeasy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Aptean a portfolio of industry-specific products rather than one platform, spanning ERP, TMS, PLM, EAM, WMS, MES and more, so the evaluation is which Aptean product before any feature comparison; MRPeasy per-user pricing model becomes expensive as team size grows, unlike unlimited-user competitors
  • They diverge on capability: Aptean covers Financial management, MRPeasy covers Production planning.
