Awerka vs. reonic · Alternative in comparison

Looking for a reonic alternative? The honest comparison.

reonic is the deep specialist for solar, heat pumps and energy. Awerka is the all-rounder for trades and services with a built-in solar planner. Which one fits depends on what you actually do all day.

vs.

Specialist or all-rounder? Pick your tool by your job, not by the brochure.

reonic is built for energy businesses that live and breathe PV, heat pumps and storage. The depth is impressive: 150,000 components in the catalog, photogrammetry from drone footage, hydraulic balancing, full single-line diagrams. If your team does nothing but solar all day, that depth pays off.

Awerka takes a different approach. Solar is one of many things you do. You also write quotes for the bathroom renovation, you track time on the office build-out, you bill the maintenance contract. Everything sits in one app: lead pipeline, customer file, projects, time tracking, invoices, and yes — the solar planner is right there too.

And we publish our prices openly. No demo gate, no quote-on-request, no contract-bound onboarding. You start on the FREE plan, see whether it fits, and upgrade if it does.

Key differences

Three points where the two paths diverge most clearly.

Open prices vs. demo gate

Awerka publishes every plan, every limit, every euro on the pricing page. reonic asks you to book a demo first. If you want to compare costs without a sales call, that's a hard wall.

All-rounder vs. energy specialist

reonic goes deep on PV, heat pumps and storage — photogrammetry, hydraulic balancing, full single-line diagrams. Awerka covers solar plus the rest of your business: bathrooms, services, contracts, anything you invoice. One app for everything you do.

Try today vs. wait for the call

With Awerka you sign up, run a real quote and decide. No appointment, no kickoff workshop, no commitment. If you want to start moving today, that's the difference.

Frequently asked questions about switching

For most solar installers and trades businesses, yes. Awerka covers lead pipeline, customer file, solar planner, quotes, invoicing, time tracking and project management in one app — without a demo gate or contract. If your team does only solar at high volume and needs photogrammetry or hydraulic balancing, reonic stays deeper in those specific tools.

When solar is your only business and you handle large volumes — utilities, municipal energy providers, dedicated solar specialists with hundreds of installations a year. reonic's component database, drone photogrammetry and hydraulic balancing are deeper than what we offer today, and we say that openly.

Yes. The FREE plan covers three users and three projects forever — no credit card, no time limit. The solar planner has a public live demo you can try without even signing up. Decide for yourself before any sales call.

Awerka starts at 0 € for the FREE plan and tops out at 199 € per month for the BUSINESS plan with 15 users. reonic does not publish prices, so we cannot make a euro-to-euro comparison. What we can say: any team that wants to compare costs before a demo call has only one transparent option here.

As of May 2026. We review the table quarterly and update it when reonic ships new modules or features. If you spot something off, write to us and we will correct it within 48 hours.
