Evocon vs MachineMetrics

Both products begin with machine data rather than work-order execution, but they reach it differently. Evocon is OEE software with published per-machine prices, from EUR 189 a month on a one-year term, and it does not claim to be an MES. MachineMetrics reads CNC controllers directly, sells an Intelligent MES plan with ERP integration and job tracking, and publishes no prices. Choose Evocon for a clear, listed cost per machine. Choose MachineMetrics when controller data and a path towards execution matter more than a price you can read.

Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.

Both are reviewed in full in our manufacturing execution ranking: Evocon and MachineMetrics.

1. 01

   Machine data that arrives from a controller

   MachineMetrics reads CNC controllers directly and captures machine, ERP and CMMS data, and its home page cites 10,000+ machines connected globally, a company-wide figure rather than a plan limit. Evocon counts cycles and records stop reasons that operators classify, with an IIoT Device add-on at EUR 19 a month on a one-year term. For a machine shop with mixed controllers, MachineMetrics describes the more direct connection.

2. 02

   What a Basic machine costs per month

   Evocon prints its rates: Basic is EUR 189 a month on a 1-year term or EUR 159 on a 3-year term, billed annually per machine. Professional is EUR 249 or EUR 209, and Enterprise EUR 319 or EUR 269 through Get an offer. MachineMetrics shows no prices and routes every plan to Book A Demo or Talk to Us. Its FAQ says pricing is volume based, so the cost per machine falls as you connect more.

3. 03

   How far each product goes into execution

   MachineMetrics sells an Intelligent MES plan with bi-directional ERP integration, job tracking and labor tickets, and Work Order Management opens tickets from program signals while the operator confirms. Evocon does not offer work orders, material consumption or genealogy, and it says plainly it is OEE software. Anyone who expects to move toward order confirmation gets a longer runway at MachineMetrics, although its execution side is the newer part of the product.

4. 04

   Getting a trial or a first look

   Evocon has no free plan but a 30-day free trial that carries no financial commitment. The pricing page we read has a Request free trial button but does not state the length. MachineMetrics shows no sign of a free tier or test period, so a first look starts with a demo booking. A team that wants to try the software on its own machines before talking to sales has a clear option only with Evocon.

5. 05

   Users, sites and the plan ladder

   Evocon puts no numeric cap on machines or factories, includes unlimited users, and requires all licences in one company to be on the same plan. Professional adds API access, single sign-on, scheduled reports, alerts and automatic scrap monitoring. MachineMetrics Core Platform also has unlimited users, with open APIs, and Enterprise adds multi-site rollout and advanced security. No machine-count tiers appear for MachineMetrics, so the two ladders cannot be compared by size.

   Depends on the buyer

6. 06

   Where the vendors are based and how they host

   Nothing we read names the country or owner behind Evocon, and its imprint page returned a 404. MachineMetrics lists a Northampton, MA address, which is a US format, without stating a country or parent company. Both mention ISO 27001, and neither page states a hosting model, though MachineMetrics says Nothing to host. Evocon's sign-in sits at app.evocon.com. On openness about the company, neither vendor gives a clear answer in the pages we read.

   Depends on the buyer

Is Evocon an MES or just OEE software?

Evocon describes itself as OEE software, and it has no work orders, material consumption or genealogy. It counts cycles, records stop reasons and shows OEE on a screen. That is why it suits a first step on downtime rather than execution.

Why is there no MachineMetrics price to compare?

The pricing page shows no amounts and sends Core Platform and Intelligent MES buyers to Book A Demo. Enterprise goes through Talk to Us. The FAQ only says the more machines you connect, the less it costs per machine.

Does either one limit how many users can log in?

Evocon says the licence price includes unlimited users, and MachineMetrics lists unlimited users on Core Platform. Evocon sets no numeric cap on machines. MachineMetrics shows no machine-count tiers at all.
