Best MRPeasy Alternatives in 2026
Short answer
The best MRPeasy alternatives in 2026 are EDGEBIC by User Solutions (RMDB 2.0) for finite-capacity scheduling beside any ERP, Katana for Shopify and D2C makers, JobBOSS2 and ProShop for job shop ERP, Fishbowl for QuickBooks inventory, Odoo for a modular open-source ERP, and PlanetTogether for multi-plant enterprise APS.
By User Solutions, Inc., South Lyon, Michigan. Updated . We build EDGEBIC, so our entry is not neutral; competitor details come from our published comparisons and vendor documentation.
MRPeasy is a cloud MRP from Estonia, launched in 2014 for manufacturers with roughly 10 to 200 employees. It covers production planning, inventory, procurement, CRM and basic accounting in one subscription, and its free trial makes it easy to start. For many small shops it is a sensible first system.
Buyers usually look for an alternative for one of two reasons: the schedule has become the problem, or the business has outgrown an all-in-one cloud MRP. The right alternative depends on which one it is, so the shortlist below is grouped by the job each tool does.

Why buyers look for MRPeasy alternatives
Scheduling depth runs out
MRPeasy shows workstation loading and basic forward scheduling. Shops with sequence-dependent setups, alternate routings or daily expedites find no multi-constraint optimization and no what-if scenario to test a rush order before committing.
Cost grows with every login
MRPeasy is priced per user per month. Each planner, buyer and supervisor who needs access adds to the bill, and some buyers would rather own the software outright.
Data lives in the vendor cloud
MRPeasy is cloud only. Defense suppliers and plants with strict IT policies sometimes need production data on their own servers.
The ERP is fine, the schedule is not
Some shops like MRPeasy for inventory and purchasing and only need a better scheduler. That is an add-on decision, not a replacement.
