Pricing frequently asked questions
Quick pricing answers for manufacturers evaluating manufacturing software.
How much does ALIX manufacturing software cost?
ALIX pricing starts at $199 per month (flat fee including a base number of users and all starter features) with additional user fee/user/month over included users in selected plan. Implementation starts with a mandatory Essential Onboarding from $499, with optional implementation packages from $4,000 (Autonomous) to custom (Turnkey) depending on your needs.
Are there setup fees, hidden costs, or paid modules?
No hidden fees and no paid modules. Your ALIX subscription includes every feature: production, inventory, traceability, quality, maintenance, and document management. The only separate cost is your one-time Essential Onboarding (and optional implementation package if you choose one). Both quoted upfront with fixed pricing.
What's the minimum contract length and can I cancel?
ALIX subscriptions are typically annual, with monthly payment options available. Longer commitments unlock discounts. You can upgrade your plan or add users and sites at any time. Cancellation terms are detailed in your contract. Talk to sales for specifics on your situation.
How does ALIX compare to traditional ERP pricing?
Traditional ERPs typically cost $100,000 to $500,000+ in implementation and $1,000 to $10,000+ per month in licenses, with 12 to 18 months before delivering value. ALIX delivers manufacturing-focused functionality at a fraction of that cost, with first value in week 2 and full deployment in 3 to 6 months.
Why is Essential Onboarding required?
We've seen too many system rollouts fail when teams go it alone from day one. Essential Onboarding is the minimum foundation we require to ensure your system is configured correctly, your team is trained, and your first weeks deliver real value. It's a $499 investment that protects a much larger one, your full ALIX implementation.
What's included in every plan?
Every ALIX plan includes the full feature set: production management, real-time shop floor control, built-in lot traceability, quality management, preventive maintenance, document management, BOMs and routing, project costing (quote-to-cash), product costing (order-to-cash), the estimation module, IIoT and PLC connectivity, tablet deployment, cloud hosting, and 24/7 uptime monitoring.
Do additional users cost extra?
Each plan includes a base number of users. Additional users are charged based on type of users added. Designed to make it affordable to deploy ALIX to your whole shop floor, not just office staff. Unlike per-seat pricing models, ALIX is built for floor-wide adoption from day one.
