EcoReko

EcoReko is carbon accounting software for SMEs that want to track emissions across all three scopes and weigh possible reduction projects. It is best suited to businesses that can manage supplier data internally and do not yet need CBAM compliance.

Overview

EcoReko combines a Scope 1–3 inventory with aligned reporting and modelling for reduction projects. Its coverage spans direct emissions, purchased energy and value-chain emissions; reports are aligned with CSRD, the GHG Protocol, TCFD and CDP. This gives small and midsize businesses a common base for measuring emissions and preparing disclosures.

The modelling tools let users compare renewable switches, supplier changes and efficiency projects by cost, speed and carbon impact. That helps teams assess trade-offs before choosing where to focus. Supplier engagement is a meaningful gap: the portal for collecting supplier submissions is still in development, so businesses that depend on direct supplier data collection will need another process.

Key features

Inventory and reporting

Scope 1, 2 and 3 tracking, a built-in emissions factor library and reports aligned with major disclosure frameworks make EcoReko a fit for SMEs seeking one place to build an inventory and prepare reporting. The Free plan's static dashboard and single site suit an initial footprint, but its one-user limit leaves little room for a team to collaborate.

Reduction modelling

Users can compare potential renewable energy switches, supplier changes and efficiency projects on cost, speed and carbon impact. Pro adds carbon-reduction projects and analysis, making it the more relevant tier for businesses ready to evaluate actions rather than only record emissions.

Data and integrations

EcoReko describes pre-built connectors for ERP, utility billing and supply-chain portals, with sensor connectivity designed around API and MQTT pathways. Its data architecture keeps raw emissions data in a private layer and records cryptographic proofs, timestamps and submission references on blockchain. This provides a traceable record of submissions while keeping raw emissions data in the private layer.

The company says it does not sell personal data and describes data-processing agreements with its website service providers. The supplier portal and CBAM compliance are still in development; CBAM is planned as a free addition to Pro and Pro Plus, so neither capability should be treated as ready for current needs.

Pricing

EcoReko has a free plan and paid plans starting at €4,500/yr. The free tier is billed forever and allows one user and one site, with Scope 1–3 tracking, an emissions factor library and a static dashboard. It is a practical way for a small business to start an inventory, but it omits the baseline report and collaboration capacity of paid plans.

Standard suits a business that needs a baseline report across two sites but can work with one licensed user and community support. Pro costs €2,000 more per year at the starting prices, and adds a second user, capacity for up to five sites, project analysis, the AI assistant and priority support. Pro Plus is the option for larger teams that need unlimited seats and sites, a roadmap and a dedicated account manager, with custom pricing.

Platforms

EcoReko runs on the web. Its described integrations include ERP, utility-billing and supply-chain portal connectors, while sensor pathways use API and MQTT connectivity.

Who it's for

EcoReko is aimed at SMEs, particularly businesses in Ireland and the United Kingdom. It suits teams that need Scope 1–3 accounting, aligned reporting and a way to compare reduction initiatives, especially if they can collect supplier information without a dedicated portal. The free five-minute Carbon Maturity Assessment provides an instant scorecard and tailored recommendations for businesses considering their starting point.

It is a weaker fit for companies that need supplier submissions or CBAM compliance now, since both capabilities remain in development. Standard is also restrictive for collaborative work because it includes one user license; teams needing more seats should consider Pro or custom-priced Pro Plus.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Scope 1–3 tracking, emissions factors and aligned reports give SMEs a broad accounting and disclosure foundation.
• Pros: Project modelling compares cost, speed and carbon impact, helping teams weigh reduction options.
• Pros: Pro provides two user licenses and up to five sites, alongside project analysis and priority support.
• Cons: Supplier engagement has no portal yet, limiting direct collection of supplier emissions data.
• Cons: CBAM compliance is still planned, so businesses that need it now must use another solution.
• Cons: The free plan is limited to one user and one site, while Standard remains a one-user tier.

Alternatives

Compare carbon accounting software if you want to review more options by category. Consider Carbonfact if supplier-controlled environmental-data visibility and free LCA verification are more relevant than EcoReko's SME-focused emissions accounting. CarbonTool is worth considering if a 30-day trial with full access and no credit card is your preferred way to assess a carbon tool. Greenio may fit users seeking a free tier with unlimited data entry, four PDF reports per year, Scope 1–3 tracking and AI recommendations. Choose CarbonInk if you want a free, local desktop app for macOS or Windows with no account, cloud service or subscription. Hedgehog Carbon Platform offers a free web tier for one user and one entity, with five GHG-emission sources and an AI onboarding guide. Persefoni may suit a solo user seeking a free self-service plan with unlimited assets and historical reporting years. Vaayu is another option for companies seeking a paid plan with pricing available on request. 50X Impact is another web-based option to consider.

Verdict

Choose EcoReko if your SME needs Scope 1–3 tracking, aligned reporting and a way to compare carbon-reduction projects, and you can handle supplier data collection outside the platform for now. Its strongest case is bringing inventory, reporting and project modelling together. Look elsewhere if supplier submissions or CBAM compliance are immediate requirements, or if your team needs more than one user without moving to Pro.
