Custom workflowsand a real human on call
For manufacturing teams that have outgrown MRPeasy's dated interface and ticket-only support. Sutton pairs custom extensions and Sutton Studio with production, warehousing, and shop floor monitoring on one connected platform.
Where MRPeasy falls shortfor growing teams
Based on public pricing and verified reviews on G2, Capterra, and Software Advice, here is where MRPeasy creates friction as a manufacturing team grows.
Per-user pricing that adds up fast
MRPeasy charges per user at every tier, so a 5-person team on Professional pays $345 a month, and API access is gated behind the priciest plan. Sutton includes a native MCP server, open API and webhooks, with a plan scoped to your operation up front.
Integration with other software could be improved, and API integration should be available from the professional or enterprise version.
An interface reviewers call outdated
Across G2, Capterra, and Software Advice, reviewers describe MRPeasy's interface as unintuitive and dated, with workflows that take three clicks for actions that should take one. Sutton Studio lets you describe a screen or report and have it built on your live data in minutes.
The interface is unintuitive (really bad UX, like an app developed 15 years ago), making the app frustrating to use.
Reporting with no live dashboard of what's due
Reviewers consistently flag MRPeasy's reporting as a weak point, with no live dashboard showing what's due or behind, and custom reports requiring exports to spreadsheets. With Sutton Studio, you describe the report you need and it gets built on your live operations data instead.
Reporting can get better — they don't introduce more tools such as tracking unfulfilled orders & partial orders, daily dashboard to see what is due and what is behind.
Support without a phone line
MRPeasy support runs through ticket and email only, with no phone line and no dedicated account manager, so non-standard questions often get templated documentation instead of real help. Sutton's team trains your people before go-live, and a real human is always a call away after.
I'm not impressed by their support. It would be nice to sit and talk to someone about it and have them walk us through it, but emailing back and forth — you don't quite get enough information.

MRPeasy and Suttonfit different stages of growth
MRPeasy can work for a small team of one to three users on a tight budget. Sutton fits manufacturers who have outgrown basic MRP and need custom workflows built for them.
Choose MRPeasy if
When it may be the better fit for your workflow
- You have one to three users, so per-seat pricing stays small
- Lot traceability is a core requirement included at the base tier
- You need a straightforward MRP solution with basic manufacturing features
- You are already live on MRPeasy and switching costs outweigh the gains
- Your integration needs are limited and the native connectors cover them
Choose Sutton if
Why Sutton would be best suited for your workflow
- You need API access without moving to the top-priced plan
- You want a real human a call away, not ticket queues and email
- You need a live dashboard instead of exporting reports to spreadsheets
- You want custom screens and workflows built instead of worked around
- You need a real implementation team, not a self-guided setup

No more implementation.
Just onboarding.
Sutton's onboarding agent reformats your data, configures your system, and gets you live. A real human is always a call away. And if something is missing, describe it in plain English and it exists inside the product in minutes.
Hi Siddharth,
How can I help you today?
AI agents reformat your data, map your fields, make bulk edits, and configure the system. What used to take weeks of manual work happens automatically. You review and confirm.
What would you recommend for purchase approvals?
For your operation, I’d add a manager review step only for high-value orders. It keeps things moving without losing control.
Sounds good. How soon can we test it?
I can have the updated workflow ready tomorrow, then we’ll test it with your team and move toward launch.
Map your locations, workflows, and rules. Sutton is configured around how your operation actually runs — no rigid templates.

Sutton is a good alternative if you have outgrown basic MRP. Reviewers say MRPeasy covers standard workflows out of the box, but custom needs mean workarounds or waiting on the vendor's roadmap. Sutton builds custom extensions on every account, and Sutton Studio lets you describe a screen, report or automation in plain English and have it built on your live data in minutes.
Based on public pricing, every MRPeasy plan is priced per user per month, from $49 up to $149, so a 5-person team on Professional pays $345 a month and the bill grows with each new hire. Sutton scopes your plan to your operation up front, with plans that vary by users, integrations and functionality, so growth doesn't trigger surprise tier jumps.
Reviewers consistently flag reporting as a weak point in MRPeasy, with no live dashboard showing what's due or behind, and custom reports often requiring an export to spreadsheets. In Sutton, you describe the report you need in plain English and Sutton Studio builds it on your live operations data, or Sutton's team builds it with you.
Sutton's team maps your data, builds what you need and trains your people before go-live. An onboarding agent helps map and reformat your existing records, and you can bulk import through spreadsheets or integrations. If anything doesn't fit cleanly, a real human is always a call away, so you are not working through the move alone.
Most Sutton customers go live in 2 to 6 weeks, and more than 80 companies have been onboarded. MRPeasy onboarding is self-guided, with timelines that vary by customer, and reviewers specifically ask for more live walkthroughs or onboarding calls. With Sutton, the team handles data mapping, custom builds and training before launch.
MRPeasy support runs through tickets and email only, with no phone line and no dedicated account manager, and reviewers say non-standard questions often get templated documentation. Sutton's team trains your people before go-live, and after launch a real human is always a call away for questions about your specific setup.
MRPeasy restricts API access to its top-tier Unlimited plan, which carries its highest per-user price. Sutton includes a native MCP server, an open API and webhooks, so Claude, ChatGPT or your own agents can read and act on live operations data. Sutton also connects natively to QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, NetSuite, Sage Intacct, Shopify, WooCommerce and Amazon.
MRPeasy can work for a small team of one to three users on a tight budget that only needs standard MRP workflows. If that is you, it may be enough for now. Sutton fits manufacturers who have outgrown basic MRP and need custom workflows built for them, along with traceability, warehousing and machine monitoring on one connected platform.
