Question 1

How does FermentIQ compare to other brewery management software?

Accepted Answer

FermentIQ covers the same production, inventory, compliance, and sales core as platforms like Ekos, Breww, Beer30, Ollie, and BrewMan — and is the only one with a built-in voice-enabled AI assistant (BrewBuddy). It also uniquely bundles HR, payroll (43 integrations across 10 countries), safety, and maintenance, and supports eight beverage verticals beyond beer.

Question 2

Which brewery software has published pricing?

Accepted Answer

FermentIQ publishes full pricing ($30/mo to $1,200/mo across five tiers). Beer30, Breww, and BrewMan also publish entry pricing. Ekos pricing is quote-based.
