The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Ecount mobile app provides only essential features, not full desktop functionality; IQMS dassault Systemes acquired the product in 2018 and renamed it, which changed the sales channel, the support relationship and the roadmap owner, so a buyer needs explicit commitments on release cadence rather than a history of independence that no longer applies.
  • They diverge on capability: Ecount covers Financial management, IQMS covers Single database ERP and MES.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 30 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Ecount

  • Mobile app provides only essential features, not full desktop functionality
  • Complex navigation and setup requiring time investment and sometimes expert assistance

IQMS

  • Dassault Systemes acquired the product in 2018 and renamed it, which changed the sales channel, the support relationship and the roadmap owner, so a buyer needs explicit commitments on release cadence rather than a history of independence that no longer applies.
  • This is a discrete and repetitive manufacturing system, not a process one, so a batch producer needing formulation, potency, catch weight or co-product handling will hit capability gaps that configuration cannot close.
  • The product has an on premise heritage with an underlying commercial database, so a deployment carries database licensing and administration skills as costs that sit outside the ERP quote.
  • Its depth is on the shop floor rather than in the office, so organisations with complex multi-entity consolidation, international statutory reporting or sophisticated financial planning needs generally find the finance side thinner than the manufacturing side.
  • The knowledge base is split across two product names and two eras, so searching for help returns a mixture of IQMS-era community material and current DELMIAworks documentation, and it is not always obvious which applies to your version.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Ecount: What is the pricing for Ecount ERP?

Ecount ERP costs $55 per month with unlimited users included. All features and unlimited users are available at this single tier, with no additional per-user fees.

Source
IQMS: Is IQMS the same as DELMIAworks?

Yes. Dassault Systemes acquired IQMS in 2018 and markets the product as DELMIAworks. The underlying application, EnterpriseIQ, is the same lineage, but contracts, support and the sales channel are now Dassault's.

Ecount: What platforms does Ecount support?

Ecount ERP is 100% web-based and cloud-based, accessible via Chrome, Edge, Safari and other browsers on Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android without software installation.

Source
IQMS: Why choose this over an ERP plus a separate MES?

Because the interface between them is the usual failure point. One database means production status, scrap and costing agree by construction. The cost of that is a narrower product that suits a specific kind of manufacturer rather than any manufacturer.

Ecount: Does Ecount offer integrations with other business systems?

Yes. Ecount integrates with 400+ business applications including payment systems, ecommerce platforms (eBay, Shopee, Lazada), shipping solutions, and custom systems via Open API.

Source
IQMS: Does it suit process or batch manufacturing?

No. It was built around discrete and repetitive production. Formulation, potency adjustment and co-product handling are the domain of process ERP and you should look at a specialist for that.

Ecount: What support does Ecount provide?

Ecount offers 24/7 customer support, on-site training, and video resources. The platform is ISO/IEC 27001 certified for security.

Source
IQMS: What should I check before buying under the current ownership?

Ask for the published release history since the acquisition, the support escalation path, who implements it in your region and whether they are Dassault staff or a partner, and what integration with the rest of the Dassault portfolio is assumed in the roadmap.

Ecount: How long is the typical implementation time for Ecount?

Implementation varies but typically requires significant time investment for data migration from previous systems. Expert assistance may be needed depending on system complexity and customization needs.
