The markt of QMS Software / eQMS Software is incredibly intransparent. Many companies don't publish their prices and might not even provide a free trial of their software.
This page is our effort to change that. We've collected all QMS Software we've heard of and even included affordable software (e.g. GDrive) and self-hosted open-source solutions.
Hopefully more companies (yours included?) will make more rational QMS Software decisions in the future.
