Expert Verdict

Scytec DataXchange

Scytec is the right choice for CNC job shops that need deep machine protocol connectivity, flexible deployment options, and open API access. Not suitable for condition monitoring or machine health prediction.

💰 Pricing: Cloud per machine/month: Bronze $47 · Silver $68 · Gold $89 · Platinum $140 · One-time account activation $1,000–$2,500 by level · Term discounts to 10%, volume discounts to about 30% at 500+ machines

Evocon

Evocon is the right choice for manufacturers whose primary need is visual, high-adoption OEE monitoring with PLC connectivity and excellent support. Not recommended where API integrations or predictive maintenance are requirements.

💰 Pricing: Basic: $219/machine/month · Professional: $289/machine/month · Enterprise: $379/machine/month, all billed annually · 3-year terms cut these to $189/$249/$319 · IIoT device $24/month · Free trial on request
