SkyPlanner APS vs Asprova: pricing

SkyPlanner APS costs from 199 euros per month, 5 workstations included, 20 euros per month per extra workstation, as of October 2026. Enterprise pricing is by quote. The trial runs 30 days without a card and covers up to 20 workstations, so a buyer can estimate the full monthly cost and test it before a sales call.

Asprova publishes no price as of October 2026. Its implementation FAQ calls the package price an “open price” and lists training and integration as extra costs. A free trial version can be downloaded after registering a free Asprova ID; the trial length is not stated. Winner: SkyPlanner APS on both price transparency and trial. On our ERP add-on list it scores 5 of 5 on price and trial, Asprova 0 and 3.

SkyPlanner APS vs Asprova: scheduling and rescheduling

Both products schedule against finite capacity. SkyPlanner’s home page and features page state the constraints it models: workstation limits, material availability, skills and setup times, plus shifts and calendars. If a material delivery slips, its Arcturus engine moves the job to when the materials arrive. Asprova’s home page states “Finite Capacity Scheduling” but does not describe the constraints or the optimization method.

Rescheduling is the clearest difference. SkyPlanner’s Autopilot runs Arcturus continuously and “reviews the situation on every meaningful change”; the King Button recalculates the entire plan in seconds, and Bulldozer pushes unstarted work forward to now. Automatic or event-triggered rescheduling is not described on Asprova’s home page or Asprova MS page as of October 2026. On our AI rescheduling list for SMEs, SkyPlanner APS ranks #1 with 100 points and Asprova #9 with 30. Winner: SkyPlanner APS.

SkyPlanner APS vs Asprova: ERP integration

SkyPlanner APS connects to any ERP or MES through its two-way REST API, with webhooks and CSV import. Customer projects have connected SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Odoo, Epicor, Sage and Siemens. Because the API reads and writes, orders flow in and the finished schedule flows back to the ERP.

Asprova’s e-learning library documents interfaces for SAP, QAD, JD Edwards and Dynamics AX, and Asprova was certified for SAP xApps in 2008. Integration is priced on top of the package, so expect a scoped interface project. As of October 2026, SkyPlanner scores 5 of 5 on integration path on our ERP add-on list and Asprova 3. Winner: SkyPlanner APS for an API link to any ERP or MES at a known price; Asprova if your landscape is QAD, JD Edwards or Dynamics AX and you want its vendor-documented interfaces.

SkyPlanner APS vs Asprova: implementation

Asprova’s FAQ says implementation “usually takes about 4 to 6 months”, and that the period depends on how much master data is already prepared, as of October 2026. Its home page states global support across 44 countries and more than 30 sales and support partners, which suits groups that roll out plant by plant with local help.

As of October 2026, SkyPlanner APS runs self-onboarding inside the free 30-day trial with demo data, tutorial videos, a Getting Started guide and the built-in AI agent. The first schedule runs on demo data in minutes and simple production fits in a day, according to the SkyPlanner features page. No ERP is required to start, and assisted onboarding, where an expert plans the setup, imports data and trains the team, is optional. SkyPlanner has resellers in more than 30 countries. Winner: SkyPlanner APS, with a first schedule in minutes instead of months.
