Our verdict on BOMIST
BOMIST is desktop inventory and bill of materials software for electronics manufacturers, makers, hardware teams, and enterprises. It manages parts, BOMs, revisions, sub-assemblies, supplier pricing, procurement, production builds, inventory, sales orders, and documents. Local workspaces support offline operation, while team workspaces can synchronize through the cloud. It is a fit for organizations that need structured BOM control alongside purchasing and inventory workflows.
The free plan supports one user, up to 100 parts, and up to three products. MAKER costs $15 per user per month when billed annually and adds multiple local workspaces, purchasing, custom suppliers and quotes, barcode labels, and a REST API. PRO costs $50 per user per month billed annually and adds sub-assemblies, production planning, procurement, inventory value reports, and sales. TEAM costs $175 per month billed annually for unlimited users, a team workspace, role-based permissions, a managed cloud database, real-time data sync, and document storage. ENTERPRISE costs $350 per month billed annually and adds on-premises deployment, an offline license, priority support, multiple team workspaces, all features, and local and team workspace access. Professional-plan prices exclude VAT.
BOMIST’s platform coverage includes Windows, macOS, Linux, and API access. Its local REST API, CSV, JSON, HTML, and PDF support give teams several ways to move BOM and reporting data into surrounding workflows. Supplier and distributor connections include Nexar API, DigiKey, Mouser, Element14, Farnell, Newark, TME, and Future Electronics. Barcode label printing and scanning, storage-location inventory, purchase lists, and build planning extend the product beyond a narrow BOM editor. Choose BOMIST if revision control, comparisons, supplier data, and inventory belong in one hardware workflow. Teams needing multiple users should look at TEAM or ENTERPRISE rather than the single-user plans.
