They serve different worlds: if you build medical devices, Greenlight Guru is purpose-fit; if you manufacture regulated product batches, InstantGMP is built for you.

Where InstantGMP is the better fit

• You manufacture batches, devices production, but not medical device design.
• You need electronic device history records, inventory, and quality in one system with full GMP traceability.
• Your compliance is GMP / ISO 13485  (production, materials, quality) rather than device design controls.
• You want affordable, modular, fast-to-deploy software right-sized for a small-to-mid operation.

Where Greenlight Guru may be the better fit

Greenlight Guru is excellent for medical device companies. If your core need is design controls, risk management (ISO 14971), and an ISO 13485 / FDA 21 CFR Part 820 quality system for device development and production, Greenlight Guru is purpose-built for that and is the better fit.
