Of every tool compared on this site, ERPAG ticks the most boxes: it takes a deposit against a sales order, runs work orders with the time they actually took, costs them with overhead, gives customers a B2B portal and connects to Shopify. Nothing here is missing the features. What you are deciding is whether you want an ERP — $99 a month for five users, no annual billing, and a system that expects to be configured before it earns anything — to answer a question that is one screen wide.
ERPAG · checked 9 September 2026
We make Ordamo, so we are an interested party. What we can be is checkable: written by the people who built it for their own furniture studio in Buenos Aires, every price taken from the other side’s own page with the date we read it, and their wins listed above ours.
| ERPAG | Ordamo | |
|---|---|---|
| Built around | The whole operation: stock, purchasing, production, invoicing | Orders: deposits, balances, batch cost |
| Deposit and balance on one order | Yes — an advance payment recorded against the sales order | Both, with dates, on the order itself |
| What a run really cost | Work orders with actual time and overhead applied | A received batch writes what the run really cost onto its products |
| Margin per order | Buildable in its report builder, not a field on the order | Per order, on the order, after the real cost lands |
| A page the customer can open | A B2B portal | One link per order, no login, updates itself |
| Store integrations | Shopify and WooCommerce | No live sync; a store export imports as orders |
| Invoices and accounting | Yes, with Xero and QuickBooks | Neither — it exports what an order earned |
| What you buy at the entry tier | $99/mo including 5 users, then $9 each; no annual billing | $29/mo for the business |
| Before it is useful | A configuration project | A sample workspace you can open before you sign up |
| Trying it | 15 days | $0 today, first charge after 7 days, cancel in one click |

ERPAG genuinely holds a deposit, genuinely costs a production run with overhead, genuinely shows customers a portal. On a feature grid it beats us. What a grid cannot show is the distance between installing an ERP and having it tell you something: master data, units, workflows, roles, and a decision about every field before the first order is worth entering.
$99 a month includes five seats whether you have five people or two, and there is no annual billing to soften it. That is fair pricing for a small manufacturer and it prices the licence, not the work: a two-person studio is buying capacity for a shape of business it does not have yet.
You can build the number — a report joining the order, its costs and its overhead. You will also maintain that report, explain it to anyone else who needs it, and rebuild it when the model changes. Here margin per order is a field on the order, because it is the one question the whole tool exists to answer.
The reason to run ERPAG is that purchasing, production, stock and invoicing all need to agree with each other. If your business is three commissions at a time, a workshop invoice and a customer waiting for a date, those departments do not exist — and the software's real value is in coordinating departments.
From $99/mo
Basic and Professional are $99 a month and Advanced $199, each including five users with extra users at $9; an introductory $49 for the first three months is published. The tiers differ mainly in portal seats and support rather than in the manufacturing features. No annual billing is published, and the trial is 15 days.
$29/mo
One plan, per business, everything included — however many of you there are. $0 today, first charge after 7 days, cancel in one click. 14-day money-back on the first month. Nothing is metered.
What is in the planWe are not the only answer, and pretending otherwise wastes your afternoon.
A modular ERP for running the whole business on one system. One app free, then $8.95 per user a month.
MRPeasyMRP for a small manufacturer, aimed in its own words at 10 to 200 employees. From $49 per user a month.
KatanaManufacturing for a floor with staff on it: work orders, scheduling, capacity. From $299 a month before add-ons.
The whole categorySix families of tool, what each one answers, and the three questions that pick between them.
Yes — an advance payment is recorded against the sales order and its own documentation covers exactly that. This is the tool on this site least vulnerable to a missing-feature argument. What differs is where that leaves you: the deposit is one field in a system whose subject is the whole operation, and the setup to get there is a project rather than an afternoon.
Basic and Professional are $99 a month and Advanced $199, each including five users, with extra users at $9 and an introductory $49 published for the first three months. The tiers differ mainly in portal seats and support. No annual billing is published and the trial is 15 days. Ordamo is $29 a month for the business.

If purchasing, stock, production and invoicing all have to agree with each other, ERPAG is the right kind of tool and this is not. If what you need is the deposit, the balance, what a run cost and what the order earned, then you are choosing between a system to configure and a screen that already answers it — at a third of the price.
Cheaper than Katana, which starts at $299 a month before add-ons, and different from MRPeasy, which is $49 per user with a one-user minimum. ERPAG's $99 buys five seats, so which is cheapest depends entirely on headcount rather than on features.
No. Nobody books hours against a job here and there is no overhead allocation. A production batch records what the run actually cost — usually the workshop's invoice — and divides it across the pieces it produced. If you need labour time and overhead in the cost, that is an argument for an MRP.
No, and the difference is deliberate: one page per order, no login, showing what was ordered, what is paid, what is owed and when it will be ready. A portal is for buyers who place repeat orders themselves; this is for a customer waiting on one piece.
For orders with deposits and a production cost, this is $29 a month and needs no implementation. For materials and cost of goods on stocked products, Craftybase starts at $20 a month and Inventora at $19. For planning a floor, MRPeasy is $49 per user. Nothing in that list replaces an ERP, and if you wanted an ERP you should keep one.
Export open sales orders and customers to CSV, import the file as it comes — there is no template, the columns are read for you — then add each deposit with the date the balance is due and enter the batches currently in production. Start new orders here and let the open ones finish where they are.
