Where each one falls short

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

Brightpearl

  • No pricing is published, and every quote is described as a bespoke setup
  • Cost is driven by business size rather than by a stated unit, so nothing can be estimated before contacting sales
  • The vendor frames cost as a percentage of revenue, which means the bill grows with turnover rather than with usage

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
