Runn works fine for the basics, but as your team grows, you need a tool that keeps up with how you actually plan, forecast, and deliver.
Too rigid to customise
Runn locks you into its structure. eRS adapts to your workflows, roles, and reporting needs from day one.
Time entries go unchecked
Anyone can log anything in Runn. eRS ensures every time entry is reviewed and approved before it counts.
Weak forecasting
Runn leaves you guessing. eRS delivers accurate capacity forecasts so your team is always a step ahead.

Everything you need to know about scheduling resources, tracking time, and managing teams with eRS.
What makes eResource Scheduler better than Runn?
eResource Scheduler goes beyond basic scheduling with deeper reporting, long-range forecasting, non-human resource scheduling, a mobile app, and modular pricing. It's built for teams that need more than a timeline.
Can eResource Scheduler schedule equipment and meeting rooms, not just people?
Yes. Unlike Runn, eResource Scheduler lets you schedule both human and non-human resources, including equipment, rooms, and tools, all within the same plan.
Is eResource Scheduler more affordable than Runn?
Starting at $5 per resource per month compared to Runn's $11 Standard plan, eResource Scheduler can save you up to 55% annually. You also only pay for the modules you actually use.
Does eResource Scheduler have a mobile app?
Yes. eResource Scheduler offers a fully functional mobile app so your team can check schedules, track availability, and manage resources from anywhere. Runn's mobile experience is limited by comparison.
How does timesheet management differ between the two?
eResource Scheduler pre-fills timesheets directly from your schedule, so your team only needs to verify and submit. Runn requires manual entry on its Lite plan and only adds timesheets from Standard and above.
Can I migrate my data from Runn to eResource Scheduler easily?
Yes. Our team handles the data import for you. Most teams are fully onboarded and live within a week, with a dedicated account manager supporting you through the first 30 days.
Does eResource Scheduler offer better reporting than Runn?
Significantly. eResource Scheduler delivers real-time heatmaps, utilization stats, capacity forecasting, and custom dashboards. Runn's reporting is widely noted as too basic for leadership and finance needs.
How does pricing work for eResource Scheduler vs Runn?
Runn charges per resource seat regardless of which features you use. eResource Scheduler uses modular pricing, so you only pay for the features your team actually needs, making it far more cost-effective as you scale.
Is eResource Scheduler suitable for large or distributed teams?
Yes. eResource Scheduler is built for multi-location, hybrid, and distributed teams with role-based permissions, custom workflows, and flexible configurations. Runn's fixed structure makes it harder to manage as team complexity grows.
Can I try eResource Scheduler before committing?
Yes. eResource Scheduler offers a 14-day free trial with all features included, no credit card required. You get full access from day one so you can evaluate it properly before making any decision.
