What is Ergonode PIM?
Ergonode was founded in 2018 by Marcin Piwowarczyk, its CEO, and first launched as an open source PIM under the Open Software License 3.0. In late 2021 it became an independent company and moved to a SaaS model; the public backend repository was archived on 13 February 2023. Buyers comparing open source PIM options should therefore treat Ergonode as a commercial SaaS product.
The platform covers attribute and product family modelling, workflows, automation rules, built-in DAM and publishing to Shopify, Magento, PrestaShop and marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Allegro and Etsy, with GraphQL and media APIs. Pricing is public: a Free plan for up to 1,000 products, Advance from EUR 5,990 per year, Scale from EUR 19,990 per year and a quote-based Enterprise tier that adds private cloud hosting, unlimited users and a dedicated customer success manager.
AI is central to recent releases. Every plan receives monthly AI credits for description generation, translation, attribute completion from text or PDFs and image generation in AI Photo Studio, launched in July 2026. Advanced DAM features followed in April 2026. In October 2025 Ergonode announced a strategic investment from Marcin Grzymkowski, founder of eObuwie, alongside expansion into the US, Canada, the UK and wider EMEA.
