MRPeasy is priced per user, per month, and the headline numbers are published openly. That makes a change from the quotation-only world of traditional ERP, where you need a sales call before anyone will tell you a figure. For a UK manufacturing SME, though, the subscription rate is only one line in the budget. What you actually pay depends on how many people need access, which tier you land on, how much setup work is involved, and how the invoice is raised in pounds.
This guide sets out the published plan rates, explains how user numbers affect the total, looks at implementation and setup costs, and flags the UK-specific details worth checking before you commit.
MRPeasy plans and published rates
MRPeasy publishes plan pricing on a per user, per month basis, quoted in GBP. Published comparisons of the platform list four tiers: Starter at £37, Professional at £52, Enterprise at £74 and Unlimited at £112 per user per month. Not every comparison includes all four, and some older summaries list only Starter, Professional and Unlimited, so it is worth checking the MRPeasy pricing page directly for the current structure. if you opt for annual billing then you only pay for 11 months and not 12 (1 month free).
The tiers are not simply about user numbers. Each step up adds functionality, and the entry tier is aimed at smaller operations with straightforward planning needs. Moving up is usually about what the business needs the software to do, not about how many people will log in.

These figures come directly from MRPeasy’s website pricing page, and MRPeasy software pricing has not changed in many years. Treat these costs as a starting point for your budget and confirm the Edition required and applicable rates before you sign up. However it is possible to change editions and users as your business grows and there is no annual contract in place. MRPeasy bills monthly, so you can scale up or down without being locked in for a fixed term.
How user numbers change the bill
The first ten users pay the full tier rate. Published summaries mention a separate rate for users beyond that point, an additional £59 for each block of ten users across all editions. The wording varies between sources, and some describe the structure differently to others. it is always best to refer directly to the MRPeasy website to confirm current pricing.
A simple worked example helps. Ten users on the Professional plan at £59 per user, per month comes to £520 per month. That is the subscription only. It does not include implementation, training or ongoing support beyond whatever the plan itself provides. The next 10 users being only £59 for then whole 10. In other words if you need 12 users you get 20.
MRPeasy’s website pricing page provides a simple costing calculator. type in the number of users and billing monthly or annually and the total costs for month for each edition is listed.
What a UK buyer actually pays
Published rates are in GBP on the MRPeasy website.
-
Confirm the billing currency and how the conversion is handled.
-
Check how VAT is applied to your invoice.
-
Establish whether you are quoted monthly or annually, and whether the rate differs.
-
Find out what support is included in the subscription and what is chargeable separately.
-
Ask what happens to your rate if you add users partway through a term.
None of these points are unusual or awkward questions. Any supplier used to working with UK manufacturers will have clear answers. If the answers are vague, that is useful information in itself.
Implementation and setup costs
The subscription is the easy part to budget. Implementation is where the range widens, and it is the figure most often missing from an initial comparison. MRPeasy has published its own guidance on the true cost of an ERP and MRP implementation for small and medium-sized manufacturers, which is worth reading alongside any quote you receive.
Several things drive the cost of getting live:
-
How clean and complete your current data is, whether it sits in spreadsheets or a legacy system such as Sage 50.
-
How many bills of materials and routings need to be built, checked and loaded.
-
Whether you need integrations with quoting, accounting or e-commerce tools.
-
How many people need training, and how much of their working week that training takes.
-
Whether you want reporting and dashboards tailored to how your business measures performance.
-
How much of the process design work you want to do internally versus hand over.
A manufacturer moving from spreadsheets with a short product list needs far less setup time than a business with hundreds of variants, multi-level bills of materials and traceability requirements. That is why honest implementation quotes are scoped rather than flat. Anyone offering a fixed figure without asking about your data, your products and your team is probably guessing.
The free trial, and how to use it properly
MRPeasy offers a free trial, with published references mentioning periods of up to 30 days and some pages promoting a 14 day trial, so check the current offer before you plan around it. The platform also provides a quick start guide, demonstration videos and demo data you can play with before loading anything real.
The trial is most useful when you treat it as a rehearsal rather than a look around. Add a customer order, estimate costs and delivery dates, then work through planning a production run using your own product examples. By the end of the trial you should know whether the workflow fits how your factory actually operates, which is far more valuable than a feature checklist.
A sensible way to build your budget
-
Count the people who genuinely need a login, not everyone who might glance at a report.
-
Choose the lowest tier that covers your planning, procurement and traceability needs.
-
Get implementation scoped in writing, with clear assumptions about your data and your team’s involvement.
-
Allow for internal time, because training and data preparation cost you hours even when they do not cost you fees.
Done this way, the total is rarely a surprise. The manufacturers who feel stung by software costs are usually the ones who compared subscriptions and forgot everything around them.
UK-specific factors to check
Beyond currency and VAT, a few practical points come up repeatedly for UK manufacturers. If you are moving from Sage 50 or a similar accounts package, check how data is exported and what has to be rebuilt by hand. If your customers demand traceability, confirm how batch and lot tracking is configured in the tier you are considering, because that can push you up a level. And if your team is small, think carefully about who owns the system internally after go-live, since software without an owner tends to drift.
Where Smart Manufacture fits in
Smart Manufacture is a UK-based independent ERP and MRP consultancy and the UK’s leading partner for the MRPeasy platform. The team helps manufacturers move from spreadsheets and legacy systems through to live MRP and ERP operations, covering setup, data migration, training and ongoing support after go-live.
Free trial access to MRPeasy is available for prospective clients, and you are welcome to use it with guidance rather than working it out alone. There is no obligation to proceed, and the advice is deliberately plain rather than pushy. If the honest answer is that MRPeasy is not the right fit for your business, that is a useful outcome too.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does MRPeasy cost per month in the UK?
Published comparisons list per user, per month rates in GBP: Starter at £37, Professional at £52, Enterprise at £74 and Unlimited at £112. The first ten users pay the full tier rate.
Are MRPeasy prices quoted in dollars or pounds?
Published rates are in your local currency, which means your UK invoice value does not move with the exchange rate.
Are there implementation costs on top of the subscription?
Yes, and they vary far more than the subscription does. Data migration, building bills of materials and routings, integrations, training and process design all take time. A manufacturer with simple products and tidy data needs much less setup than one with hundreds of variants and traceability requirements, so insist on a scoped quote.
Is there a free trial of MRPeasy?
Yes. MRPeasy offers a free trial, with published references mentioning periods of up to 30 days and some pages promoting a 14 day trial, so check the current offer. The trial includes demo data, a quick start guide and demonstration videos. Use it to test a real production scenario rather than browsing features.
Do I need a UK partner to implement MRPeasy?
Not strictly, but most manufacturing SMEs get live faster with help, particularly on data migration and process design. A UK-based partner also understands local practices and can provide ongoing support after go-live. Smart Manufacture offers free trial access and independent guidance, with no obligation to continue if the fit is not right.
Free for 15 days, extendable to 30 by completing the guided onboarding. No credit card needed.
