Connected platform

Azora

$29/user/month (every solution)
free during open beta
Strength

QMS + everything else. Same database, one login, cross-module reporting.

Trade-off

Newer to the QMS-only market. Greenlight has more out-of-box compliance content (e.g. preloaded ISO 13485 procedures).

Alternative

Greenlight Guru

$50k+/year (typical), pricing private
Strength

QMS specialist. Deep ISO 13485, FDA, MDR content. Curated compliance consultants. Industry track record.

Trade-off

QMS only. You still need Jira, BambooHR, QuickBooks, Confluence, etc. — and they don't talk to each other.

Competitor pricing and feature availability are public U.S. list prices as of July 2026, compiled from each vendor’s public pricing and documentation, and may have changed — verify current terms with the vendor. Rows marked “est.” are market estimates; those vendors don’t publish list pricing. Feature comparisons reflect Azora’s assessment; product and company names are trademarks of their respective owners.

Buyer-fit guide

Buy for the workflow you actually need.

Azora is intentionally opinionated and is not the right choice for every team. Use these constraints before you shortlist either product.

Choose Azora when

Connected work is the requirement.

QMS + everything else. Same database, one login, cross-module reporting.

  • Quality, engineering, operations, and business records should share one tenant-isolated data layer.
  • You want every Azora solution available without per-module fees.
  • You prefer an opinionated operating system to assembling and maintaining integrations.

Choose Greenlight Guru when

When NOT to pick Azora

  • You need EU MDR support TODAY (Greenlight has more depth there).
  • You want a QMS consultant included in your subscription — Greenlight bundles consulting; we don't.
  • Your auditors specifically request a vendor with a published ISO 13485 case study (we'll have these by end-2026).
  • You're a Class III implant manufacturer with extensive premarket regulatory needs — Greenlight's content depth wins for now.
