Openbom vs StockFlow

Openbom

Depends
Confidence: Medium

Buy it if you're a hardware startup or SMB manufacturer outgrowing spreadsheet BOMs, especially on SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or Onshape.

Pick Openbom when

  • Hardware startups
  • Small/mid manufacturers
  • CAD-centric teams (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, Onshape)
  • Teams outgrowing Excel BOMs

When Openbom is not a fit

  • Software-only teams chasing SBOM compliance . name confusion, wrong category
  • Buyers wanting flat, predictable per-seat billing
  • Solo makers with a 20-row parts list . a spreadsheet is cheaper and fine
