Where each one falls short

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

Axelor

  • Pro requires at least ten users and Enterprise at least twenty, so a six-person company either stays on unsupported Community or pays for seats it does not have.
  • Documentation, community answers and partner material are substantially richer in French than English, which slows adoption for anglophone teams and makes hiring implementers outside Europe difficult.
  • The AGPL licence on Community obliges you to publish modifications if you offer the software as a network service, which is a genuine blocker for anyone planning to resell a hosted version.
  • The implementation partner network is concentrated in France and neighbouring markets, so buyers elsewhere have few local firms to tender against and limited support timezone coverage.
  • It is a smaller ecosystem than Odoo or ERPNext, so there is no large third-party app marketplace, and functionality the suite lacks has to be built rather than bought.

MRPeasy

  • Per-user pricing model becomes expensive as team size grows, unlike unlimited-user competitors
  • Complex calculations and unintuitive logic in some features requiring user training and clarification
  • Per-user pricing for API access limited to highest tier ($149/month)
  • Struggles to meet complex workflow needs for advanced planning and scheduling

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Axelor: Is Axelor really free?

The Community edition is genuinely AGPL open source with no licence fee, but it lacks several business modules and has no vendor support, and you carry all hosting and upgrade work.

MRPeasy: What is MRPeasy's pricing model?

MRPeasy offers 4 pricing tiers: Starter at $49/user/month, Professional at $69/user/month, Enterprise at $99/user/month, and Unlimited at $149/user/month. Pricing is per-user, so costs scale with team size.

Axelor: Can I upgrade from Community without losing data?

Yes, Axelor states that a Community deployment can move to Pro or Enterprise keeping its database and configuration, which is unusual among open core vendors.

MRPeasy: Does MRPeasy offer a free trial?

Yes, MRPeasy provides a 30-day free trial with no contracts or hidden fees, allowing users to test all features before committing to a paid plan.

Source
Axelor: Do I need Java developers?

Not for most changes. Studio handles entities, views and workflows as configuration. Deep integrations and new module logic still need Java skills.

MRPeasy: What integrations does MRPeasy support?

MRPeasy integrates with 16 third-party tools including Shopify, Xero, QuickBooks Online, Google Drive, OneDrive, Zapier, Magento, WooCommerce, and others for accounting, ecommerce, and storage.

Source
Axelor: Does it handle EU e-invoicing mandates?

E-invoicing is included on the paid editions, which is the main reason French customers move off Community as mandates come into force.

MRPeasy: Does MRPeasy have mobile app support?

Yes, MRPeasy offers mobile apps for iOS and Android with shop-floor capabilities for real-time job tracking and production order rescheduling. Changes made offline sync automatically when reconnected.
