A side-by-side look at what each platform offers.
The capabilities that set Frostbyte Pro apart for NZ manufacturers.
MrPeasy is an internationally-focused platform headquartered in Europe with USD pricing and no NZ-specific support. Frostbyte Pro is built for the New Zealand market: NZD pricing at $89.95 per user per month, a NZ-based support team operating on NZ business hours, Xero integration tailored for NZ GST, and MPI traceability compliance tools for NZ food and beverage manufacturers.
Frostbyte Pro's LineConnect+ module connects directly to your PLC equipment via OPC-UA, feeding real-time production data into your inventory system. OEE dashboards, automated production counting, machine state tracking, and alarm management are all included, none of which MrPeasy offers. This bridges the gap between your factory floor and your inventory system without manual data entry.
MrPeasy is purpose-built for manufacturing and does not extend well to retail, wholesale distribution, or e-commerce. Frostbyte Pro covers all four: manufacturers get full BOM and production order management, while the same platform handles multi-store retail, wholesale distribution, and e-commerce sync with Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce.
MrPeasy uses tiered USD pricing where features like multi-warehouse management and advanced e-commerce integrations are only available on higher plans. Frostbyte Pro is $89.95 NZD per user per month with all core inventory features included, with no tiers and no hidden charges. Note: LineConnect+, our production line monitoring module, is an additional add-on with separate pricing, not included in the base plan.
We recommend trialling both platforms. Frostbyte Pro offers a full-featured 14-day trial with no credit card required.
Yes, particularly for NZ manufacturers who want local support, NZD pricing, and production line monitoring capabilities. Frostbyte Pro offers the core manufacturing features MrPeasy provides (BOM management, production orders, batch tracking, Xero integration) and adds LineConnect+ for real-time PLC and OEE monitoring, which MrPeasy does not offer. For NZ businesses, Frostbyte Pro's NZD pricing eliminates the USD conversion uncertainty, and the NZ-based support team means you get help in your timezone.
MrPeasy uses tiered USD pricing where different features are available at different plan levels. Frostbyte Pro is $89.95 NZD per user per month with all core inventory features included in a single plan and no tiers. LineConnect+, our production line monitoring module, is an additional add-on with separate pricing. Because Frostbyte Pro is priced in NZD, you also avoid USD exchange rate fluctuations. For a NZ business running Frostbyte Pro versus MrPeasy's mid-range plans, the NZD pricing often works out comparable or less expensive once currency conversion is factored in.
Frostbyte Pro covers the core manufacturing resource planning features: bill of materials management with multi-level support, production order creation and tracking, raw material allocation and consumption, work-in-progress visibility, batch traceability, and quality inspection checkpoints. MrPeasy is more narrowly focused on MRP and production scheduling. Frostbyte Pro extends beyond manufacturing to cover retail, wholesale, and e-commerce, plus LineConnect+ for real-time PLC monitoring, which MrPeasy does not have.
Yes. MrPeasy allows you to export your products, BOMs, customers, suppliers, and order history. Frostbyte Pro's import wizard accepts CSV files, so you can map your MrPeasy exports into the platform. Our NZ-based support team can assist with data migration and configuration. We recommend running a parallel trial before switching to ensure all your manufacturing workflows are set up correctly in Frostbyte Pro.
Yes, and Frostbyte Pro goes further. Frostbyte Pro integrates with Shopify, WooCommerce, and BigCommerce (all three major e-commerce platforms) with granular, user-controlled sync settings. You can independently toggle import of orders, customers, and products, as well as stock level pushes and order status updates. MrPeasy's e-commerce integration is more limited and typically restricted to higher plan tiers.
Frostbyte Pro includes several features specifically designed for NZ businesses that MrPeasy does not offer: NZD pricing with no currency conversion, NZ-based support team on NZ business hours, GST handling for both GST-inclusive and GST-exclusive pricing, Xero integration configured for NZ accounting practices, and MPI traceability compliance tools for food and beverage manufacturers who need to meet Ministry for Primary Industries requirements.
