The short version

  • Only MRPeasy has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: 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.; MRPeasy per-user pricing model becomes expensive as team size grows, unlike unlimited-user competitors
  • They diverge on capability: IQMS covers Single database ERP and MES, MRPeasy covers Production planning.
  • 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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

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
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.

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.
