Honest comparison from a competitor

MRPeasy vs PF9 Manufacturing Suite

MRPeasy is a focused MRP/manufacturing platform priced per user. PF9 ships five operational apps for a flat monthly rate. Here's how they actually compare.

Choose MRPeasy if
  • • Multi-level BOM planning is core to your operation
  • • You want a rolling MRP run with demand forecasting
  • • Your team is small (1–5 users) — per-user pricing works
  • • You need integrated production scheduling specifically
Choose PF9 if
  • • You have 6+ users and don't want a per-seat bill
  • • Shift handoffs, inventory, and quality matter more than MRP
  • • You want unlimited supervisors, inspectors, and operators
  • • You'd rather deploy in a day than configure a planning system

Pricing at your team size

MRPeasy scales linearly with users. PF9 doesn't. Crossover is at roughly 5–6 users.

What MRPeasy does well

Honest sections aren't a sales tactic — they're how you make a real decision.

Real MRP planning

MRPeasy runs proper material requirements planning — multi-level BOMs, demand forecasting, rolling MRP runs that account for lead times and existing stock. If your operation depends on weekly MRP cycles to schedule purchasing and production, MRPeasy is purpose-built for that workflow. PF9 doesn't have an MRP engine; FLOWTRACK tracks inventory and reorder points, but it's not a planning system.

Production scheduling

MRPeasy includes a Gantt-style production scheduler that lets you sequence work orders across machines and operators with capacity awareness. PF9 covers operational tracking (what's happening on the shop floor right now) but not forward scheduling.

Integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, and Shopify

MRPeasy has mature native integrations with the accounting and e-commerce systems most small manufacturers use. PF9 exports to CSV and to QuickBooks Online format; native bidirectional integrations are on the roadmap, not in product today.

Where PF9 wins

Flat pricing as your team grows

MRPeasy adds $49 per user per month forever. Hiring a third-shift supervisor adds $49/mo to your software bill. Hiring two more inspectors adds $98/mo. PF9 stays at $249/mo no matter how many people log in.

Coverage beyond MRP

PF9 ships SHIFTLOG (handoffs), INSPECTR (field inspections), QUALIFI (quality), REPORTR (dashboards), and FLOWTRACK (inventory). MRPeasy is a focused MRP tool — strong at planning, lighter at shop-floor operations and quality.

Faster deploy

PF9's apps run in days, not weeks. MRPeasy implementation typically requires BOM cleanup, item data hygiene, and MRP parameter tuning before the system delivers value. PF9 starts delivering value the first day a supervisor logs a shift.

14-day money-back guarantee

Subscribe, load real data, run a shift through SHIFTLOG. If it's not the fit, full refund within two weeks. MRPeasy has a 30-day free trial; PF9 has a paid trial period with refund — different model, both work.

Migrating from MRPeasy to PF9

If you decide to switch:

  1. Export from MRPeasy: items, BOMs, customers, vendors, inventory levels, and open orders as CSV.
  2. Import to FLOWTRACK: items and inventory levels go in first. BOMs are not a PF9 concept — if you depend on multi-level BOM planning, that's a workflow change.
  3. Set up SHIFTLOG, QUALIFI, INSPECTR: these are operational, not MRP-derived. Configure shift templates, inspection forms, and checklists from scratch.
  4. Connect QuickBooks via CSV export if you used MRPeasy's accounting integration.
  5. Cancel MRPeasy at end of month after confirming everything's running.

Honest note: if multi-level BOM and MRP runs were core to your MRPeasy usage, PF9 is not a drop-in replacement. PF9 is operational, not planning. If you need both, the right move may be to keep MRPeasy for planning and add PF9 for shop-floor operations — they don't have to be either/or.

Frequently asked

How much is MRPeasy vs PF9?

MRPeasy: $49/user/mo, scales linearly. PF9: $249/mo flat. Crossover at ~5-6 users; above that, PF9 saves money every month.

Is MRPeasy a full ERP?

No — focused MRP/manufacturing platform. PF9 covers similar operational scope (inventory, quality, shifts, inspections) without the MRP planning module.

What does MRPeasy do that PF9 doesn't?

Multi-level BOM planning, MRP runs, production scheduling. If those are core, MRPeasy is the right tool.

Can I run both?

Yes — keep MRPeasy for planning, add PF9 for shop-floor operations. CSV exports flow between them.
