MRPeasy is a capable, affordable cloud MRP for small manufacturers — and a competitor we respect. Here's an honest look at where each system fits, and which customers the other is the better answer for.
MRPeasy is a cloud manufacturing ERP/MRP built for small and mid-sized manufacturers — roughly 10 to 200 employees — and launched in 2014. It covers production planning and scheduling, inventory, BOMs and routings, procurement, CRM and quoting, a built-in shop-floor module, and a standard accounting module with real-time COGS/COGM. It's well known for being easy to adopt and transparently priced.
It's worth being clear up front: MRPeasy also has a built-in MES, drag-and-drop production scheduling, one-click cost estimation and 30+ languages. So this isn't a story about who has shop-floor features. The real question is focused manufacturing MRP versus a broader business ERP. Here's our honest take.
Choose MRPeasy if you're a small discrete manufacturer who wants lean, affordable, easy MRP — production planning, BOMs, inventory and shop floor in one tool — with a low per-user entry price and minimal setup.
Choose ProdSys if you want one platform for the whole business — manufacturing alongside finance reporting, sales, projects with dependencies, warehouse and logistics, quality (NCR/CAPA), time & HR and BI — across European languages and entities, while keeping your accounting system.
We won't pretend otherwise — MRPeasy is genuinely strong at focused manufacturing planning:

MRPeasy publishes its pricing — transparent per-user tiers (roughly €49/user/mo entry up to about €125/user/mo on the top plan, minimum two users), a 30-day trial and no contracts. It's a genuinely accessible entry point for a small shop, and the per-user model scales directly with each seat you add.*
Where ProdSys stands out: our pricing is also published — €150/month company base + €25/user/mo. The company-base-plus-user model can work out lower as your team grows; for a very small shop, MRPeasy's entry tier can be cheaper. Both are honest, no-negotiation models — the difference is shape, not transparency.

MRPeasy is genuinely good at what it sets out to do — affordable, easy MRP for small manufacturers — and if production planning is essentially the whole job, it may be the leaner fit. We'll say so on the demo. If you need one platform across manufacturing, projects, quality, HR, logistics and finance reporting for a broader European business, ProdSys is built for that breadth. Right tool for the right job.
