Decision

Choosing Between the Two

Consider ERPNext when

  • No per-user licence fee for the software itself
  • Full source access for deep customisation
  • Broad core modules including manufacturing, projects and assets

  • Matches unusual processes exactly
  • You own the roadmap and the data model
  • Can integrate tightly with legacy or industry systems

How to decide

  • Test both with your own scenarios
  • Compare total cost over several years
  • Check integrations and support
