EcoReko vs Hedgehog Carbon Platform

EcoReko is web-based carbon accounting software for SMEs, focused on tracking Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and managing supplier data. Its inventory covers direct emissions, purchased energy and value chain emissions. The platform says it can produce reports aligned with CSRD, the GHG Protocol, TCFD and CDP from collected data. Users can model changes such as switching to renewable energy, changing suppliers or undertaking efficiency projects, then compare their cost, speed and carbon impact. A free plan includes one user, one site, Scope 1–3 tracking, an emissions factor library and a static dashboard. Standard starts from €4,500/yr and includes a baseline carbon report; Pro starts from €6,500/yr and adds reduction project analysis and an AI assistant. Pro Plus has custom pricing. EcoReko describes its main audience as businesses in Ireland and the United Kingdom. Its supplier portal and CBAM compliance are still in development. The company says raw emissions data remains in its private data layer while blockchain records proofs, timestamps and submission references.
