Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
ERPNext
- The software is AGPL-3.0 licensed, which imposes source disclosure obligations on anyone distributing a modified network service built on it
- Managed hosting is priced per site and per server rather than per user, so a small team running several sites pays more than a large team on one
- Dedicated server isolation and stronger reliability guarantees start at $125 a month
- Self hosting is free but places upgrades, backups and availability entirely on the operator
Fiix
- Integrations, SSO, audit trail and database export are all Enterprise only, which carries no published price
- The $75 Professional plan still excludes e signatures, failure codes and any integration
- The $45 Basic plan excludes multi site management, purchasing and advanced analytics
- The free plan is limited in users and withholds almost every feature beyond basic work orders
- Assets are unlimited on every tier, so the ladder is entirely about features rather than scale
