The e!Sankey alternative that shows its prices
e!Sankey (ifu Hamburg / iPoint) is a polished desktop tool used across industry. We differ on three deliberate choices: we run in the browser, our pricing is public, and our engine doesn't just check balances, it reconciles your data.
| e!Sankey | OpenSankey / MFASankey | |
|---|---|---|
| Platform | Windows desktop | Any browser, any OS |
| Pricing | On request (sales-led) | Public: free / €300 / €1,500 per year (details) |
| Excel workflow | Live links to workbooks | Structured Excel templates, import/export round-trip |
| Your existing files | Proprietary .sankey format | Opens .sankey files directly in the browser |
| Balance handling | Balance check on processes | Constrained reconciliation + uncertainty + completion from partial data |
| Sharing | Static exports, viewer licences | Hosted interactive diagrams, embeddable for free viewers |
| Openness | Proprietary | Open-source editor, open file format, exportable data |
Where e!Sankey remains strong
Deep Microsoft-Office integration and a long industrial track record. If your workflow is a Windows workstation and PowerPoint deliverables, it is a safe choice. If your deliverable is a living diagram (shared by URL, updated yearly, drilled into by stakeholders), that's what we built OpenSankey for.
Bring your e!Sankey diagrams with you
The editor opens .sankey files directly: File → Open, pick your diagram,
done: no conversion step, no server upload, the file is read entirely in your browser.
Processes keep their positions and colors, arrows carrying several materials become
parallel flows, and each e!Sankey entry becomes a flow tag you can filter on.
