Fulcrum vs MRPeasy (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Fulcrum if

• Fits if you run a precision CNC or sheet metal shop and want quoting through to job costing in one place
• Works for high-mix job shops whose schedule changes day to day

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to price it yourself first, as no prices are published
• Skip it if you want to try it before talking to anyone, because the only way in is a guided demo
• Watch out: there is no built-in accounting, so you pay for and connect another accounting product
• Tight if you work on the move, since it is a browser system with no phone or desktop apps listed

Pick MRPeasy if

• Fits if you make products and need materials, orders and stock in one system
• Works for a shop floor team that wants the mobile apps

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if your team grows, because it is charged per user and the useful features climb a plan ladder
• Skip it if you need barcode scanning or several sites on a small budget, since both need Enterprise at $99 a user
• Tight if you need the API: it sits on Unlimited at $149 a user, with 2 users minimum
• Watch out: the Pro API needs at least 10 paid users
• Watch out: extra training hours and advanced support are paid

Fulcrum

• No prices are published and the FAQ says there is no self-serve free trial; the vendor offers guided demos.
• It has no built-in accounting or general ledger, and connects to accounting software instead.
• It runs in a web browser only, on desktops, tablets and other connected devices.

MRPeasy

• Pricing is per user and the plans differ by feature; barcode scanning and multiple stocks need Enterprise or higher.
• API and webhooks are on the Unlimited plan; the Pro API needs 10 paid users.
• Training hours and Advanced Support are paid extras.
• The prices shown are for monthly billing; annual billing gives one month free.
