Pricing built around your plant. Not a SaaS price card.
Manufacturing isn’t software-as-a-service. Every plant has
different machines, customers, lines, and scale — and your
pricing should reflect that. Tell us about your plant; we’ll
send a tailored proposal in 48 hours.
Premium capabilities that layer on any plan. Priced separately so
you only pay for what you actually use.
Add-on · FactorialOS Copilot
Talk to your plant.
Ask plain-English questions about your jobs, your operators, your
machines, your stock — get real answers from your live plant
data, in seconds. No more clicking through ten screens to figure
out what’s happening on Line 2.
Which machines have the most downtime today, and why?
Which jobs are pending QC inspection?
Plus the things every manufacturing platform needs
Machine & IoT integration
Pull data straight from your machines instead of asking operators
to type it. PLC, OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus — we wire it up,
live cycle counts and downtime flow in automatically.
SAP, Oracle, Tally, Zoho, in-house. Pre-built connectors for the
common ones; bespoke for whatever else runs your finance,
purchase, or order management.
Need a workflow, report, or compliance pack we don’t ship
out of the box? We’ll build it — scoped per project,
owned by our team, supported as part of your platform. No
third-party vendor in the loop.
We’d rather ask a few questions and quote a real number than
publish a price card that fits no one. Here’s what we look at.
01
How many plants & sites
One plant or fifteen, single shift or three. Per-plant
licensing scales linearly — no surprise multipliers
when you grow.
02
How many named users
Operators on the floor are unlimited — that’s
never a per-seat charge. Named users are the planners,
supervisors, and admins who use the office screens.
03
Scope of capabilities
Most plants start with the core stack — production,
quality, traceability, dashboards. Advanced needs (custom
quality plans, batch genealogy, integrations) layer on.
04
Implementation & rollout
Pilots are scoped tight (one line, weeks). Full plant
rollouts are scoped per the routings, integrations, and
data migration involved. One-time fee, not a recurring tax.
05
Support tier & SLA
Standard support fits most single-plant operations.
Multi-plant and mission-critical setups choose premium with
faster SLAs and a dedicated success manager.
06
Hosting model
Cloud is default and recommended. On-premise is available for
customers with strict data-residency or air-gapped
requirements — common in defense and certain energy
workloads.
Everything is included in every plan
Tier choice is about scope and support, not feature gating. The
platform you see in a Pilot is the same platform you scale on.
Unlimited operators on the floor (no per-seat charge)
GraphQL & REST API for any integration
Role-based access for office users
Cloud hosting on Vercel-grade infrastructure
Standard support with documented SLAs

manufacturing need, it’s probably either built, in-build, or
something we’ll build for you.
The pilot offer
Pilot FactorialOS for free. Pay when you scale.
Most manufacturing software contracts ask you to commit to years
of license before you’ve seen a single dashboard on your
floor. We do the opposite. The pilot is free —
software and implementation included — on one line, one
cell, or one workflow. You only commit to a paid plan when the
data is sitting in front of you.
A typical pilot takes 4–6 weeks to go live, runs for 30 days,
and ends with a joint review against the metrics you cared about
on day one — OEE, OTIF, scrap, lead time, whatever moves
the needle for your plant.
We pick one line or workflow with you, agree on 2–3
metrics that matter, and lock the success criteria. No
vague promises.
2
Implement in 4–6 weeks
We model your routings, train your operators and supervisors,
and go live alongside your existing process. Your floor
keeps running through the cutover.
3
Run for 30 days & measure
Real data on your shop floor for a full month. Dashboards
your team uses daily. Numbers your leadership can trust.
4
Decide, with the data in hand
Joint review against the day-one metrics. If the value
isn’t there, you walk away with what you’ve
learned. If it is, we scale.
Common questions, honest answers
The questions that come up in every first call — answered
upfront, so the call can be about your plant.
Why don't you publish a price card?
Because manufacturing software pricing that fits everyone fits no one. A 5-person foundry and a 200-person automotive plant have different scopes, different integrations, different support needs. Publishing a fixed price would either underprice large customers (and we'd cut corners on support) or overprice small ones (and they'd never start). We'd rather ask three real questions and quote a real number.
How long are your contracts?
Annual is standard. We don't lock you into 3- or 5-year terms like legacy ERP vendors. If you grow, your plan grows with you. If something isn't working, you have an off-ramp at the end of the year. Multi-year discounts are available if you'd like the price stability — entirely your choice.
What does the pilot actually cost?
Nothing. The pilot is free — software and implementation included. We scope it tight: one line, one cell, or one workflow, with success criteria agreed up front. The pilot runs for 30 days, ends with a joint review against those criteria, and you only convert to a paid plan if the value is there. We don't auto-bill anything when the pilot ends.
Are users or machines extra?
Operators on the floor are unlimited. We will never charge you per operator login, per machine connected, or per work order created — those would be perverse incentives. Named user licences are for office users (planners, supervisors, admin) who need access to the management screens.
What about implementation costs?
Implementation is a one-time fee, scoped to your plant — your routings, your workflows, your integrations, your data migration. It is not a recurring tax. Pilots include implementation in the pilot price. Full plant rollouts are scoped explicitly so you know what you're committing to before you sign.
Do you have AI / conversational features? How are they priced?
Yes — FactorialOS Copilot lets you talk to your plant in plain English instead of clicking through screens. Ask things like "why is WO-1234 late?" or "show me OEE by shift" and get answers from your live data. Copilot is a paid add-on that works on any plan (Pilot, Standard, or Enterprise). Pricing depends on usage and is included in your tailored proposal so you see total cost upfront — no surprise meter.
What about machine/IoT integration and ERP connectors?
These are scoped as add-ons because the work involved varies wildly. Machine and IoT integration (PLC, OPC UA, MQTT, Modbus) is priced per machine or per gateway depending on protocol and quantity. ERP connectors for SAP, Oracle, Tally, and Zoho are pre-built — you pay a one-time setup plus annual maintenance. Custom in-house integrations are quoted per project. All of this lands in your proposal as concrete line items, never as a vague "integrations TBD".
Can we host on-premise?
Cloud is our default and what we recommend for almost every customer — it's faster to deploy, easier to support, and updates land for everyone simultaneously. On-premise is available for customers with strict data-residency or air-gapped requirements (common in defense and certain energy workloads). It changes the cost profile; we'll tell you honestly which is right for you.
Do you integrate with our ERP?
Yes. FactorialOS sits beside your ERP and exchanges data via a clean GraphQL and REST API. SAP, Oracle, Tally, Zoho, in-house — whatever runs your finance and planning today keeps doing that. Common ERPs work straightforwardly; custom integrations are scoped as part of implementation.
What if we don't see value?
That's exactly why we pilot. The pilot ends with a joint review against the metrics we agreed on day one. If the value isn't there, we don't ask you to scale — and you walk away with a clean understanding of what your plant looks like under measurement, which is rarely a wasted exercise.
