OpenBOM is a browser-based product data platform for engineering, manufacturing, procurement, and operations teams. It brings together item catalogs, multi-level bills of materials, flattened BOM views, revision history, CAD files, inventory quantities, procurement planning, RFQs, purchase orders, and supplier collaboration. Its cloud deployment supports web access and an API, while unlimited read-only access is included with every plan. A free plan is available for qualified educational, personal, and non-commercial users, and the product also offers a 14-day free trial.
The published plans scale from core BOM operations to broader product-data control. Professional Team costs $55 per seat per month when billed monthly or $30 per seat per month when billed annually, with BOM management, part catalogs, inventory control, RFQs and purchase orders, real-time collaboration, and a REST API. Company costs $165 per seat per month monthly or $90 annually, adding CAD file management, revision control, change management, Advanced BOM, and MFA. Enterprise includes SSO, custom integrations, enterprise support, and private and custom hosting, with custom pricing. CAD Add-ins cost $45 per seat per month per CAD system monthly or $25 annually.
Its strongest fit is for teams that need a connected workflow from design data through procurement. OpenBOM supports BOM comparison and change reports, change requests, change orders, approvals, immutable revision baselines, and controlled sharing. Integrations cover tools including SolidWorks, Altium Designer, PTC Onshape, Autodesk Fusion, PTC Creo, Siemens NX, Autodesk Inventor, QuickBooks, NetSuite, and SAP. Choose OpenBOM when multi-level BOM control, revision workflows, inventory, and purchasing need to sit in one cloud workspace. Teams seeking only a simple BOM list may find its broader product-data and plan structure more than they need.
