Repax vs AlgoREP comes down to reach. AlgoREP is a fast, low-cost tool if every product you report stays inside France. Repax is the better pick the moment you report beyond France, or you need a self-serve EU Declaration of Conformity.
This page compares the two on where they work, how they work, and what they cost for extended producer responsibility (EPR) reporting, and it is straight about where each one genuinely wins.
One market deep versus many markets wide
The two tools start from opposite ends of the same problem. One goes deep on a single country, the other spreads across many. Here is what that means in practice.
AlgoREP goes deep on France
AlgoREP is built entirely around one country. It covers all 19 of France's EPR schemes (the national "filières") and pulls in the official rates set by each producer responsibility organisation (PRO).
From there it calculates a product's eco-contribution (the fee a producer owes for putting it on the market) in seconds. For a French seller, that focus is a real advantage.
Repax spreads across markets
Repax is built the other way around. You model a product's data once, then reuse that same record to report it across more than 30 EPR categories and multiple markets.
The two tools really answer different questions:
- AlgoREP answers what a product costs in France.
- Repax answers how to report that product in every market you sell in.
So the honest way to read the rest of this page is by footprint. If France is your whole market, weigh AlgoREP seriously. If you sell across the EU, or expect to, that is where Repax pulls ahead.
If you are weighing more than these two, our guide to the best EPR software covers the wider field.
Repax and AlgoREP across markets and method
Here is how the two line up, with reach first because it is the deciding factor for most buyers.
| Repax | AlgoREP | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Product-data EPR platform (Core) plus a self-serve EU Declaration of Conformity tool (Declare) | French eco-contribution calculator and declaration tool |
| Markets | 30+ EPR categories across the EU and beyond | France only (all 19 French schemes) |
| Reporting across borders | One product record, reused in every market you sell in | Built for France; no other markets listed |
| Waste streams | Multi-stream (packaging, batteries, electronics, and more) | Every French filière |
| How products get costed | Model each product's data once, then reuse it for every return | Upload your catalogue, eco-contributions calculated automatically |
| API | Yes | Yes (a private API on every plan) |
| EU Declaration of Conformity | Yes, self-serve via Declare | Not listed |
| Pricing | Public: free tier at €0/mo, paid from €29/mo, enterprise for high volume (as of July 2026) | Public: 30-day free trial, then from €15/mo billed annually, credit-based (as of July 2026) |
| Best for | Producers reporting across markets who want to own their data and their DoC | French-only sellers, marketplaces, and consultants who want fast French declarations |
Where AlgoREP is the sharper tool
AlgoREP does one job and does it well, so it is worth being specific about where it shines.
AlgoREP's own site opens on the promise below.
The moment it shines is when you add a French product and need its eco-contribution now. They let you upload a whole catalogue and get costs back in seconds, priced against the official PRO rates for each of the 19 schemes. For a French e-commerce seller, that speed is the product.
Their genuine strengths:
- French depth and speed. Every one of France's 19 EPR schemes, official PRO rates, and eco-contributions calculated automatically. If France is all you file, this is purpose-built.
- The cheapest way in. A 30-day free trial with no card, then paid plans from €15/mo billed annually. For a French-only seller, that entry price is hard to beat.
- API-first, and built for people who manage many sellers. They put a private API on every plan and add tools for marketplaces and consultants to manage and bill the sellers they look after. That is a real architectural strength, not marketing.
The honest limit is scope. Their site lists France and only France, and it does not mention the PPWR (the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) or an EU Declaration of Conformity tool. That is fine if you never cross a border. It is a wall the day you do.
Where Repax is the better platform
Repax is the pick for most producers who read this page, because most producers do not stay inside one country for long. It is also ours, so we lead with it, though we are straight about where AlgoREP wins.
The Repax view below shows the part that carries this argument: reusable, per-market field bundles rather than one country's rules.
Where Repax comes out ahead:
- It travels with you. You build a product's data once and reuse it across more than 30 EPR categories and every market you sell in. AlgoREP stops at the French border; Repax keeps going.
- It creates the EU Declaration of Conformity for you. Declare is a self-serve tool for the EU DoC that the PPWR now requires. AlgoREP does not list a DoC tool at all.
- You own the workflow. It is a platform your team runs, product-data-first and multi-stream, not a service you hand your data to. Repax today is Core and Declare; a filing product, Comply, is on the way.
- A real free tier. Repax has a permanent free plan at €0/mo, where AlgoREP offers a 30-day trial before you pay.
The honest caveat: if you sell only in France and never plan to leave, Repax's extra reach is range you will not use, and AlgoREP's focus and price are hard to argue with.
What each one costs
Both tools publish their prices, which is more than you can say for most of the EPR market. So the pricing question is not "who is transparent", it is "what am I paying for".
AlgoREP
- Free trial: 30 days, no card required.
- Paid plans: from €15/mo billed annually (€19 on monthly billing), up to €719/mo.
- How you are charged: credits, spent loading products and submitting quantities, so a larger catalogue costs more.
Repax
- Free tier: €0/mo, permanent, not a trial.
- Paid plans: from €29/mo, plus enterprise pricing for high volume.
- What is included: Declare, the EU Declaration of Conformity tool, at every paid tier.
All prices are as of July 2026.
The honest read: for a French-only seller, AlgoREP's entry price is lower, and we are not going to pretend otherwise. What the Repax price buys is reach across markets and a DoC tool, not cheaper French coverage on its own.
Which one fits where and how you sell
Match the tool to your footprint and your team, not to a feature list.
- You sell only in France and want it fast and cheap. AlgoREP. It is built for exactly this.
- You sell into France and other EU markets. Repax. One product record covers every market, so you are not stitching two tools together.
- You have a developer team and want compliance wired into your own systems. Both offer an API. AlgoREP if you are French-only, Repax if you report across markets.
- You want an interface your team can run without engineers. Repax. It is built to be run by the people who own the data.
- You need a self-serve EU Declaration of Conformity. Repax, through Declare. AlgoREP does not list one.
- You are a marketplace or consultant managing many French sellers. AlgoREP. Their seller-management and service-billing tools are built for that model.
Repax vs AlgoREP questions producers ask
Short, direct answers to the questions that come up most when producers weigh these two.
Is Repax or AlgoREP better for EPR compliance?
It depends on reach. AlgoREP is the stronger choice if every product you report stays inside France, because it is built around France's 19 schemes and priced low. Repax is the better choice the moment you report in more than one market, or you need an EU Declaration of Conformity, because you own one product record and reuse it everywhere.
Does AlgoREP work outside France?
Their site lists France and only France, covering all 19 French EPR schemes. For any other market you would need a second tool. Repax covers more than 30 EPR categories across the EU and beyond from a single product record, which is the main reason to choose it over a France-only tool.
How much do Repax and AlgoREP cost?
Both publish pricing. AlgoREP offers a 30-day free trial, then plans from €15/mo billed annually, with usage metered in credits (as of July 2026). Repax has a permanent free tier at €0/mo, paid plans from €29/mo, and enterprise pricing for high volume, with the EU DoC tool included (as of July 2026).
Can AlgoREP create an EU Declaration of Conformity?
Their site does not list an EU Declaration of Conformity tool or mention the PPWR. Repax does this self-serve through Declare, which generates the DoC the regulation requires, and we walk through how to create an EU Declaration of Conformity step by step. If the DoC matters to you, that is a clear difference.
Which is better for a French e-commerce seller?
If France is your only market, AlgoREP is a strong, focused, and inexpensive choice, and its marketplace and seller-management tools suit sellers and consultants well. If you also sell into other EU countries, or plan to, Repax saves you from running France on one tool and everywhere else on another.
