iCounterSoft vs Moraware: Why Fabricators Are Making the Switch
A detailed comparison from someone who grew a small fabrication business 15 times within 12 months. Here's what you need to know about these two countertop software solutions.
When I was running my fabrication business, choosing the right software was crucial for growth. I've used Moraware's CounterGo extensively along with other software packages. Here's an honest comparison based on real-world experience.
The Bottom Line: While Moraware CounterGo was innovative when it launched. It was great for users like myself, who is technically savvy. However, my wife and less technically savvy employees struggled with it. After a few months, we decided to switch to another software to see if we could find a better solution.

Moraware CounterGo was groundbreaking when it launched, but technology has moved on. For small to medium fabrication shops, the combination of high costs, time consuming setup, high learning curve, and legacy technology makes it hard to justify.
iCounterSoft represents the next generation of countertop software - built by fabricators, for fabricators. It's designed for the way modern shops actually work, with mobile access, cloud-based collaboration, and pricing that makes sense.
Who should choose iCounterSoft: Small to medium shops (1-20 employees) looking for modern, affordable software that's easy to use and quick to implement.
Who might stick with Moraware: Large operations with dedicated IT staff and complex workflows that justify the higher cost and complexity.
