WeldNote vs WeldEye in 2026
WeldNote is now WeldCloud Notes. The current buying decision is therefore WeldCloud Notes (formerly WeldNote) versus WeldEye—not historic WeldNote plans against a current WeldEye product. WeldCloud Notes centres on controlled procedure and qualification documentation within the wider WeldCloud suite; WeldEye combines that layer with qualification automation and optional quality, fleet and production modules.

Choosing between them
Start with the operating model, not the historic product name.
1
Consider WeldCloud Notes
when formal procedure/qualification documents, review history, legacy-document digitalisation and the wider connected WeldCloud ecosystem are attractive.
2
Consider WeldEye
when qualification automation, automatic EN ISO approval ranges, joint drawing, mobile WPS access, or a path to quality and machine-data modules matter.
3
Validate the full stack
Ask both vendors about applicable standards, data migration, integration, hardware compatibility, users/machines, and commercial units before deciding.
If neither product shape fits
Teams that only need a narrower records-and-evidence workspace can also read Soteriaa vs WeldCloud or Soteriaa vs WeldEye. Those are secondary reading, not part of this core comparison.
FAQ
WeldNote vs WeldEye questions
Current-product answers for a legacy WeldNote search query.
Is WeldNote still available?
The historic WeldNote site directs users to InduSuite and says WeldNote is now WeldCloud Notes. Treat the live evaluation as WeldCloud Notes rather than a historic standalone subscription.
What is the main difference between WeldCloud Notes and WeldEye?
WeldCloud Notes is the documentation app in WeldCloud's connected Notes, Assembly, Fleet and Productivity suite. WeldEye is a modular welding-management platform whose public scope includes procedures and qualifications plus Quality Management, Fleet Management, Production Analysis and ArcVision.
Which one tracks welder qualifications?
Both do. WeldCloud Notes lists certificates and renewals; WeldEye lists welder, operator and inspection-personnel qualifications, expiry notifications, prolongation and EN ISO approval ranges.
Which one supports production or machine data?
WeldEye's wider Quality Management, Fleet, Production Analysis and ArcVision modules describe production and machine-connected capabilities. WeldCloud offers its own wider Fleet, Productivity and Assembly apps. Exact compatibility and implementation should be verified with the vendors.
How does current pricing differ?
WeldEye publicly lists Welding Procedures at €1,290/year, Procedures plus Personnel Qualifications at €89/month/user plus a €2,990 one-time licence, and ArcVision at €490/year; Quality Management is quote-based. WeldCloud prices its Traceability bundle (Notes + Assembly) per user/year as part of the wider suite. Do not compare historic WeldNote prices with either current offer.
