Earthster review
Model product life-cycle impacts, compare scenarios, and exchange LCA data with suppliers.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Earthster is web-based life-cycle assessment software for organizations assessing the environmental impacts of products and services. It is aimed at LCA specialists as well as users without an LCA background, and its product-level focus makes it relevant to teams beginning life-cycle assessments or comparing design options across a portfolio.
Modeling spans supply chain, manufacturing, logistics, use, and end of life. Users can build models from materials, processes, supplier information, and bills of materials, then calculate impact categories and compare cycles, processes, and scenarios. Numeric and option parameters support formulas, sensitivity analysis, and scenario comparisons. Portfolio-scale imports, supplier data requests and exchange, and exports in PDF, CSV, XLSX, and HTML connect analysis to reporting and supplier collaboration. A REST API includes endpoints for accounts, cycles, processes, comparisons, and releases; ERP systems and Power BI are listed integrations.
Earthster offers a free plan and a 14-day trial, while paid subscription prices are handled through sales. The documented free options also include a Community subscription and a Supplier plan for suppliers invited through an LCA request. This makes it possible to explore the product without starting with a paid subscription, though organizations evaluating ongoing costs will need to contact sales. Earthster is a stronger fit for teams that need structured product LCA, scenario work, and supplier data exchange than for organizations seeking organization-wide environmental management. Teams whose main need extends beyond product and service life-cycle assessment should consider a broader environmental management tool.
