Where each one falls short

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

Delogue PLM

  • Pricing starts at 145 euro per user per month on the Essential plan, charged per named user
  • The Adobe Illustrator plugin, multi language compositions, advanced size charts and the compliance and analytics modules require the Professional plan
  • Supply chain and supplier modules, integration support and a dedicated key account manager require the Premium plan at 249 euro per user per month
  • Training sessions and ESG consulting are included only on Premium
  • Enterprise pricing is by quote and aimed at organisations with 40 or more users
  • Billing is quarterly or yearly rather than monthly

OpenBOM

  • Pricing has three axes, editing seats plus data record count plus per-seat CAD add-ins at $25 to $45 each, so the real annual cost is well above the advertised per-seat figure.
  • Paying yearly nearly halves the seat price, from $55 to $30 and $165 to $90, so monthly billing carries an unusually heavy penalty for teams that want flexibility.
  • Change management, revision control and CAD file management are absent from the entry Team plan, so the cheapest tier is a catalogue rather than a working PLM.
  • It lacks the approval workflows, effectivity dating and audit depth that regulated medical and aerospace suppliers need, so companies pursuing ISO 13485 or AS9100 typically migrate away.
  • Record count is metered separately and a large imported part library can push a small team into a higher data tier without adding a single user.
