Filametrics alternatifleri mi arıyorsunuz?

Filametrics is a tidy, cloud-only filament inventory with a genuinely useful project and order side: a Kanban for jobs, a print-cost calculator, and native Shopify and TikTok order intake. Its free tier is generous, you get unlimited spools, and its AI Slicer Reader can read your usage off a slicer screenshot, which is lower friction than typing it in by hand.

But that usage is still an estimate from a file or a photo, on your timing, not a measurement from the printer. SimplyPrint's filament manager works the other way around: it's connected to your printers, reads the G-code of every print and deducts filament on its own when the print ends, across any brand, and that whole connected toolkit, NFC, direct labels and the Open Filament Database, is free. Here's a fair, side-by-side look, first purely as a filament manager, then as the whole platform.

Özetle

Filametrics is a new, small-team, cloud-only filament tracker with a real strength in projects and orders, native Shopify and TikTok intake, a print-cost calculator and a Kanban. Its free tier gives you unlimited spools, and its AI Slicer Reader estimates usage from a slicer screenshot. The connected-grade pieces, store integrations, 3MF usage upload, NFC/QR and analytics, live behind Maker (from $10/mo) and Printing Emperor (from $25/mo).

SimplyPrint has shipped filament management since 2020 inside a platform serving 85,000+ users. It reads the G-code of every print on a connected printer and deducts filament automatically when the print ends, no screenshot, no 3MF upload, no deciding when to subtract, across any printer brand, plus native NFC read and write, Bambu and Creality AMS auto-import, direct Dymo and Zebra label printing, and the open, MIT-licensed Open Filament Database (151 brands and growing). All of that is free on every plan. If you want filament tracking that just happens off the actual print, that's SimplyPrint; if filament tightly wired into Etsy/Shopify/TikTok orders is the point, Filametrics is a fair pick.

Comparing purely as a filament manager, the deep, head-to-head view.

Filament tracking from the actual print, not a screenshot

This is the heart of it. Filametrics logs usage from things you give it, a slicer screenshot, a 3MF file, or a manual entry, on your timing; its own copy calls it "automatic (mostly)". SimplyPrint is connected to the printer, so the deduction comes from what the print actually used.

Automatic usage tracking
SimplyPrint
We read the G-code of every print on a connected printer, convert it to grams and deduct it from the assigned spool when the print ends, automatically. No screenshot, no 3MF upload, no deciding when to subtract.
Filametrics
Filametrics is estimate-based and user-timed: its AI Slicer Reader extracts usage from a slicer screenshot, or you prefill from a 3MF or type it in, and you choose when to deduct. It's lower-friction than pure manual entry, but it's a figure off a file, not a measurement from the printer. 3MF usage upload sits on the paid Maker tier.
Printer connection
SimplyPrint
We connect to the printer itself across every major brand and read each finished print, so your inventory stays right on its own with nothing to upload.
Filametrics
No shipped auto-deduction from a connected printer. Bambu API sync and a "Connected Print Farm Ecosystem" are on the roadmap (some Bambu sub-items checkmarked), and job routing is an announced Printago partnership in private beta, but today usage still comes from a file or photo you supply.
NFC, labels & AMS
SimplyPrint
Native NFC read and write across Bambu Lab, Creality CFS, Prusa OpenPrintTag, OpenSpool and OpenTag, from your phone, your browser or a USB reader, plus direct label printing to Dymo and Zebra thermal printers, and auto-import of spools from a Bambu or Creality AMS.
Filametrics
NFC/RFID/QR appears only as a paid Maker bullet ("Unlimited NFC/RFID/QR Codes") with no tag standards named and no documented read/write workflow, no documented direct label printing, and no documented AMS spool/weight auto-import. It ships no hardware; any NFC/QR uses your own phone.
The core difference is the source of truth: SimplyPrint measures filament from the print on a connected printer, automatically; Filametrics estimates it from a screenshot or file you hand it, when you decide to.

The connected-grade toolkit, free here, paid there

Credit where it's due: Filametrics' free tier is genuinely generous on spool count, unlimited filaments and spools at $0. The difference is what it costs to get the connected-grade features, and whether the filament data is open.

What's free
SimplyPrint
Automatic G-code tracking, NFC read and write, direct Dymo/Zebra label printing and the Open Filament Database are all included on every plan, down to Free. The depth is free, not just the basics.
Filametrics
The free tier covers core inventory (unlimited spools, a handful of projects, the AI Slicer Reader and a cost calculator), but the connected-grade depth, store integrations, 3MF usage upload and "Unlimited NFC/RFID/QR", is gated to Maker (from $10/mo), and usage & history analytics to Printing Emperor (from $25/mo).
Open filament data
SimplyPrint
The Open Filament Database, MIT-licensed and stewarded by SimplyPrint, with 151 brands and growing, editable in a no-code web editor by anyone and wired straight into your slicing profiles and the automatic deduction.
Filametrics
A proprietary, hosted-only catalog with no published size; community-driven material data is still a roadmap idea, and "Unlimited Catalogs" is itself a Printing Emperor ($25-30/mo) feature. Nothing to fork, embed or own.
Filametrics' free spool count is genuinely generous, and we don't claim to beat it on inventory size. But the connected-grade toolkit, automatic tracking, NFC, direct labels and an open database, is free in SimplyPrint and largely paywalled in Filametrics.

Where Filametrics is the better pick

Filametrics is a well-made tool with a real focus we don't share, and for some setups it's the right call. Credit where it's due:

Projects tied to Etsy / Shopify / TikTok orders
SimplyPrint
We're a print platform with a queue, not a project-and-order tracker; filament-side project management isn't a built-in workflow for us, and we don't pull orders from a storefront.
Filametrics
A genuine pillar: a Kanban "My Projects", project templates, a print-cost calculator, a "Production Intelligence" cost-to-PDF flow, and native Shopify and TikTok integrations that auto-create a project and its filament usage when an order lands. For a small maker-business selling online, that's a real fit.
Lowest-friction manual logging
SimplyPrint
Our automatic path needs a connected printer; if you'd rather not connect one, you'd log usage manually.
Filametrics
The AI Slicer Reader is a clever middle ground, paste a slicer screenshot and it estimates the usage for you, and the free tier already gives you unlimited spools to track. If you don't want to connect a printer at all, that's a lower-friction way to keep an inventory roughly right.
If your filament inventory needs to live next to your Etsy/Shopify/TikTok orders, or you specifically want a screenshot-driven estimate rather than a connected printer, Filametrics is a fair choice. If you'd rather the tracking just happen off the actual print, across any printer brand, with NFC, labels and an open database for free, that's SimplyPrint.
Özetle

Filametrics does two things, filament inventory and project/order tracking, and hosts them for you. SimplyPrint includes a connected filament manager and surrounds it with the rest of a print operation: a print queue, a full cloud slicer, AI failure and bed detection, a maintenance system, teams and permissions, mobile apps and more, in one hosted platform that's free to start. In the table below, Filametrics' column is filament-and-projects; ours is the whole platform.

Filametrics ve SimplyPrint karşılaştırması

Nothing is black-and-white, and there are always pros and cons to consider when choosing a 3D printing cloud solution!
And we're not here to simply tell you, that SimplyPrint is the best - we want you to make an informed decision, and of course there are pros of using Filametrics as well!

Filametrics kullanmanın artıları

Filametrics has real strengths, and they're worth being honest about:

  • A genuine projects & orders pillar: a Kanban "My Projects", project templates, a print-cost calculator and a Production Intelligence cost-to-PDF flow, more than a plain inventory.
  • Native Shopify & TikTok order intake: an order from your storefront auto-creates a project and its filament usage, a workflow SimplyPrint doesn't focus on.
  • A genuinely generous free tier: unlimited filaments and spools at $0, plus the AI Slicer Reader and a cost calculator; the paid tiers gate projects, integrations and NFC/QR, not spool count.
  • The AI Slicer Reader: paste a slicer screenshot and it estimates the print's usage, a lower-friction input than typing it in by hand.
  • Clean inventory basics: an expanded color system (multi-hex, gradients, glow, metallics), most-recently-dried dates, per-roll locations, low-stock alerts and advanced filtering, plus an AI Label Scanner for inputting boxes.

Filametrics kullanmanın eksileri

Where Filametrics falls short if you want tracking that just happens off the print:

  • Usage is estimated, not measured: it logs from a slicer screenshot, a 3MF file or manual entry, on your timing (its own copy says "automatic (mostly)"). There's no shipped auto-deduction from a connected printer; Bambu API sync and job routing are roadmap / private-beta.
  • Connected-grade depth is paywalled: 3MF usage upload, store integrations and "Unlimited NFC/RFID/QR" sit on Maker (from $10/mo), and usage & history analytics on Printing Emperor (from $25/mo). It documents no tag standards or read/write workflow, and no direct thermal label printing.
  • Cloud-only and closed: hosted-only at app.myfilametrics.com with no self-host option, a proprietary catalog with no published size, and no documented bulk export (no CSV/JSON/Spoolman) to take your inventory elsewhere.
  • No native mobile app and no own hardware: it's a responsive web app you open in a mobile browser, with no iOS/Android app and no scale, reader or kit of its own.

Filametrics ile SimplyPrint karşılaştırması: sıkça sorulan sorular

Is SimplyPrint or Filametrics better for filament tracking?

It depends on what you want. Filametrics is the better fit if you want filament inventory tightly wired to projects and ecommerce orders, native Shopify and TikTok intake, a cost-to-PDF flow, and a low-friction screenshot-based usage estimate, and you're fine with a cloud-only tool. SimplyPrint is the better fit if you want filament tracking that happens automatically off the actual print: it connects to your printers, reads the G-code of each job and deducts filament on its own across any brand, with native NFC read/write, Bambu and Creality AMS auto-import, direct Dymo/Zebra labels and the Open Filament Database, free on every plan.

Does Filametrics track filament usage automatically from my printer?

Not from a connected printer today. Filametrics is estimate-based and user-timed: its AI Slicer Reader extracts usage from a slicer screenshot, or you prefill from a 3MF file or enter it manually, and you decide when to deduct (its own copy calls this "automatic (mostly)"). Bambu API sync is on its roadmap and job routing is an announced Printago partnership in private beta, but it isn't shipped. SimplyPrint reads the G-code of every print on a connected printer and deducts usage automatically when the print ends, across any printer brand, with nothing to upload.

Is Filametrics free, and how does the pricing work?

Filametrics has a real Free Forever ($0) tier with unlimited filaments and spools, a handful of projects, the AI Slicer Reader and a cost calculator. The connected-grade features, store integrations, 3MF usage upload and "Unlimited NFC/RFID/QR", live on Maker (from $10/mo billed annually, $12/mo monthly), and usage & history analytics on Printing Emperor (from $25/mo annually, $30/mo monthly). SimplyPrint's filament manager is free on every plan, automatic G-code tracking, NFC read/write, direct labels and the Open Filament Database all included down to Free, so the connected-grade depth costs nothing.

Can I import my Filametrics inventory into SimplyPrint?

There's no one-click path, because Filametrics doesn't currently document a bulk inventory export (no CSV, JSON or Spoolman export); only single-project 3MF usage upload, and a private API is roadmap-only. If you can get your spools out as a generic CSV, SimplyPrint can ingest that, and brands match against the Open Filament Database as they import, but moving off Filametrics isn't a built-in export today.

Does Filametrics work with the Bambu Lab AMS or NFC tags?

Not with documented depth. Filametrics lists "Unlimited NFC/RFID/QR Codes" as a paid Maker entitlement but names no tag standards and documents no read/write workflow, and it documents no AMS spool or weight auto-import (its roadmap Bambu sync is about status/data, not pulling spools from AMS slots). SimplyPrint reads Bambu and Creality AMS tags to auto-create and auto-assign spools and sync their weight, and reads and writes NFC across Bambu, Creality CFS, Prusa OpenPrintTag, OpenSpool and OpenTag, from your phone, browser or a USB reader.

Is Filametrics open-source or self-hostable?

No. Filametrics is a closed-source, cloud-only SaaS at app.myfilametrics.com, with no public repository, no license and no self-host option (users have been requesting one). SimplyPrint is hosted for you too, but its filament data is open: the Open Filament Database is MIT-licensed, community-maintained, editable in a no-code web editor and embeddable, and it's wired directly into SimplyPrint's presets and automatic tracking.

What does Filametrics do that SimplyPrint doesn't?

Its strongest area is projects and orders: a Kanban "My Projects", project templates, a print-cost calculator and a Production Intelligence cost-to-PDF flow, plus native Shopify and TikTok integrations that auto-create a project and its filament usage when an order arrives. SimplyPrint is a print platform with a queue rather than a project-and-order tracker, so if filament inventory tied to ecommerce orders is your priority, that's a genuine reason to look at Filametrics. SimplyPrint's counter-strength is the connected, automatic, free filament toolkit and the whole platform around it.

Conclusion
Why SimplyPrint is the Top Filametrics Alternative

SimplyPrint'i, piyasadaki hiçbir şeyin ihtiyaçlarımıza tam olarak uymaması nedeniyle oluşturduk. Kullanımı kolay, ancak yine de ihtiyacımız olan tüm özelliklere sahip bir platform istedik. Özellik açısından zengin, sezgisel ve kullanımı kolay, harika bir kullanıcı deneyimine ve 3D baskı yönetimi yazılımı alanında gerçek bir yeniliğe sahip bir platform istedik.

Özetle, alçakgönüllü ve tarafsız olduğumuz kadarıyla 😉 SimplyPrint platformunun harika bir Filametrics alternatifi olduğuna inanıyoruz!
