Comparison FAQ
Common questions about choosing and switching scrap yard software.
What is the best scrap yard management software?
The best scrap yard software depends on your operation, but yards consistently choose Scraplytics for its modern cloud architecture, native mobile apps, built-in supplier portal, real-time dashboard and a flat $100/mo (or $1000/yr), all features included. Unlike legacy tools (ScrapRight, ScrapWare, SP Data) it requires no on-premise install and goes live in hours.
Is Scraplytics a good ScrapRight or ScrapWare alternative?
Yes. Scraplytics is a direct alternative to ScrapRight, ScrapWare, Scaleit SRS, RecyclerGuard, SP Data and Rematter. It adds the things legacy systems lack: a cloud platform you can run from any device, native iOS and Android apps, a self-service supplier portal, dispatch and route optimization, quality control and a real-time analytics dashboard.
How hard is it to switch from my current scrap software?
Migration is handled for you. Our onboarding team imports your suppliers, materials, pricing and historical tickets at no extra charge, and most yards are fully live within one business day. You can run the 14-day free trial in parallel with your existing system before cutting over.
Does Scraplytics cost less than legacy scrap yard software?
In most cases, yes. Scraplytics is a flat $100/mo (or $1000/yr), all features included, with no per-ticket, per-weigh-in or per-transaction fees. Legacy vendors typically quote opaque per-seat licenses plus implementation and support fees, which often cost several times more over a year.
Can I migrate my data from another system?
Yes. Scraplytics supports data import from spreadsheets and from ScrapRight, ScrapWare, SRS, SP Data, RecyclerGuard and Rematter. Suppliers, material grades, price lists and open balances are mapped during onboarding so you start with your real data, not a blank system.
