Cost & complexity
ProShop is priced per user with a substantial implementation phase. The value is real if you need every module; the cost is real regardless.
| ProShop ERP | JigBoard | |
|---|---|---|
| Starting price | $500–715/mo | $99/mo |
| Contract term | 12-month minimum, annual billing | Cancel anytime |
| Implementation | Multi-week guided | Under 1 hour |

ProShop pricing is quote-based, starting around $500–$715/month with a 12-month minimum. Costs climb with user count (Shop, Office, and Executive tiers) and modules. JigBoard: $99/month flat, no implementation, cancel anytime.

Pick ProShop if...
- You’re AS9100 or ISO 9001 certified (or need to be)
- You make parts for aerospace, medical, or defense
- Your customers audit your quality management system
- Full document control and traceability is a hard requirement
Pick JigBoard if...
- You’re a general job shop, weld shop, or metal fab shop
- Your customers care about parts delivered on time, not audit binders
- You want simple job tracking, not enterprise quality workflows
- You’d rather spend the ProShop cost on tooling or machines
Not sure if you need ProShop?
If you’re not certified today and no customer is asking you to be, you almost certainly don’t need ProShop. Start with JigBoard for basic shop management, and if you eventually go through AS9100 certification, revisit the decision then.
If you are certified and using ProShop, JigBoard isn’t a replacement — we’re candid about that. The compliance workflows ProShop provides are the reason to keep it.
