OpenBOM pricing
OpenBOM publishes 4 tiers. Below is each one, what it adds over the tier beneath it, and where the ladder stops being worth climbing for most people.
As of 31 August 2026, OpenBOM pricing is free, then $30/month across 4 published tiers. Figures are the vendor's list prices as recorded on this page's last check; the vendor's site is the final word.

OpenBOM plans, side by side
Every published tier in ascending order of price, with the number of features each one lists. An absence here means the record does not itemise it, not that the tier lacks it.
| Plan | Price | Features listed | Step up from the tier below |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | Free | 3 | Entry tier |
| Professional Team | $55/month | 5 | +$55/month, 5 more features |
| Company | $165/month | 5 | +$110/month, 5 more features |
| Enterprise | On request | 4 | Priced on request |
What each tier adds
The set difference between each tier's feature list and the one beneath it. Where a tier lists nothing new, the vendor has either stopped repeating the inherited list or the tier raises limits rather than adding capability, the record does not distinguish the two, so this page does not either.

What the product covers
The full OpenBOM feature record, grouped as the catalogue groups it. This is the product as a whole; the record does not map every feature onto a specific tier.

People bring OpenBOM in for a hardware startup replacing a shared bom spreadsheet before its first contract manufacturing run, a contract manufacturer sharing structured boms with customers who should see but not edit them, an electronics team pulling boms straight out of altium and mechanical cad instead of retyping them, a small manufacturer that needs part numbering and revision discipline but cannot fund a plm project. If that is not the job you are buying for, the alternatives to OpenBOM are worth a look before you commit to a tier.
How that compares in Manufacturing
Too few manufacturing tools in this directory publish a starting price to quote a meaningful median, so the table below is a like-for-like list rather than a ranking.
| Tool | Entry price | Model | Rated | Head to head |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| OpenBOM (this page) | Free, then $30/month | Per user per month | - | |
| Poseidon Systems | On request | quote | - | vs OpenBOM |
| IBM Maximo Application Suite | $3150/month | Per year by AppPoint pool | - | vs OpenBOM |

Ratings are aggregated from third-party sources and imported with each catalogue entry, they are not reviews hosted on Softwr. How each figure is used is set out on the OpenBOM badges page.
Before you pay for OpenBOM
Three things this page cannot tell you, and all three change the bill. The record carries a price and a billing period but not the unit - per-seat and flat-rate pricing are indistinguishable in this data, so a five-person team may be looking at five times the figure above. It carries no annual rate, so any discount for paying yearly is not something this page can quote. And it carries no trial length.
What it can tell you is the shape of the ladder: 4 tiers between Free and On request, with the jump itemised above. Because there is a free tier, the cheapest way to answer the rest is to use it before paying anything.
OpenBOM runs on web, windows, macos, api, and is published by OpenBOM (Newman Cloud Inc.) of Newton, Massachusetts, United States. The full record is on the OpenBOM review, and the rest of the category is under best manufacturing tools.

- Professional Team costs $55/month against Free, and adds $30 per seat per month billed yearly, bom management, part catalogue, inventory, rfq and purchase orders, rest api.
- Is the Enterprise plan on OpenBOM worth it?
- That depends entirely on whether you need what it adds, which on the published record is single sign-on, custom integrations, private or custom hosting, enterprise support. It costs On request against $55/month for Professional Team. Softwr has not used either tier, so this page can tell you what changes, not whether it is worth the difference to you.
- What am I actually paying for with OpenBOM?
- The record lists 6 features across 1 area: other. In practice it is brought in for a hardware startup replacing a shared bom spreadsheet before its first contract manufacturing run, a contract manufacturer sharing structured boms with customers who should see but not edit them, an electronics team pulling boms straight out of altium and mechanical cad instead of retyping them.
- Does OpenBOM charge per user?
- The record carries a price and a billing period for each of its 4 tiers, but not the unit that price is charged in. Per-seat and flat-rate billing look identical in this data, so check the vendor's page before budgeting for a team.
- Are these OpenBOM prices current?
- They are what the catalogue entry holds, refreshed when the entry is. Vendors change pricing without notice and nobody at Softwr re-verifies each tier by hand, so treat this as a structured summary and the vendor's own pricing page as the authority.
- What should I compare OpenBOM against before paying?
- The closest manufacturing tools in this directory are Poseidon Systems, IBM Maximo Application Suite, Kepware Server, Samotics. Each has a side-by-side comparison with OpenBOM covering price, platforms and features.
