Techpacker alternatives for fashion brands
Techpacker is where many small brands start: it began as a tech pack builder, and its public prices start at $35 per user per month. When the season grows, brands often need cost, plan and orders in one place too, and start looking around. This page lists the usual alternatives and what each one is good at.
What Techpacker covers
Techpacker started as a tech pack builder. Its PLM plans add grading rules, BOM libraries, line sheets and time and action reports. It costs $35 to $125 per user per month billed yearly, plus a one-time onboarding fee, and has a 7-day free trial.
If you already use Techpacker, the practical questions are whether your team needs more than tech packs: live cost and margin for every style, a line plan the whole team works in, deadlines with owners, and purchase orders made from the plan.
The alternatives
| Tool | Good fit when | Public price |
|---|---|---|
| Tr3e | You want the line plan, live cost and margin, the Critical Path and purchase orders in one place | €40 per user per month, viewers and suppliers free, first month free |

How Tr3e differs from Techpacker
Techpacker starts from the tech pack. Tr3e starts from the season: every style sits in one collection with its colours, sizes, materials and live unit cost, compared with the target price, so the team sees the margin while the design can still change. The collection budget shows spend, projected revenue and profit. The Critical Path dates the milestones back from the purchase order date, and purchase orders come straight from planned units in the supplier's own currency.
Tr3e has no dedicated tech pack builder or Illustrator plug-in. Sketches and files sit on each variant. A brand can keep its tech packs where they are and run cost, plan and orders in Tr3e.
Moving to Tr3e
- Export your styles and materials as spreadsheets.
- Create your Workspace and fill in its currency, sizes and codes. See Get started with Tr3e.
- Add materials, suppliers and certificates to the Library once.
- Create the current collection with its products, colours and sizes, and add each variant's materials and manufacturing to see live cost.
- Invite the team and suppliers. Viewers and suppliers are free.
Most teams start with the season they are working on now.
