ERPNext vs webERP

ERPNext is an open-source enterprise resource planning system for businesses managing work across multiple functions. Its modules cover accounts, invoicing, sales, procurement, stock, manufacturing, projects, point of sale, HR and payroll. A low-code and no-code builder supports changes to forms, reports, print formats, dashboards and workflows. Organizations can manage subsidiaries, branches and currencies, with consolidated reports and configurable tax compliance. ERPNext exposes records through REST API endpoints for reading, creating, updating and deleting, subject to permissions. Application controls include OTP or two-factor authentication, IP restrictions, field-level roles and permissions, and an audit trail. It can be self-hosted under the AGPL-3.0 license at no product charge, or run through Frappe Cloud; Sites hosting starts at $5 per month. The product page describes implementation options for enterprises, small and medium businesses, freelancers and DIY users. Product Warranty covers bug fixes by Frappe engineers, not functional support.

webERP is a free, web-based, open-source accounting and business management system for businesses of all sizes. It brings together accounts receivable and payable, general ledger, bank accounts, inventory, purchasing, order management, and manufacturing tools, with support for multiple entities. Manufacturing functions include multi-level bills of materials, work orders, and material requirements planning; capacity requirements planning and MRP II are not available. The project says it is available in 37 languages. webERP runs on a PHP-capable web server and is operating-system independent, but it requires a MySQL or MariaDB database. Deployment is on-premise and self-hosted, under the GNU General Public License v2 at free. The system provides role-based access, transaction audit trails, optional SSL encryption, account lockout after three incorrect passwords, and protections against SQL injection and cross-site scripting. Its XML-RPC API lets external programs retrieve and update data, but can access only one company per installation. The project also maintains webSHOP and CounterLogicPOS portals.
