The bottom line

A practical single system for growing SMBs; tiny teams and firms that need deep integrations should compare first.

Our takeStriven makes sense for a company tired of syncing a CRM, a project tool and QuickBooks.
The price is public and support is free. The catches are the $25 per-user surcharge for teams under 5, a pricing page that does not spell out what Enterprise adds, and a short list of named integrations.
Why we rate itIt replaces several separate SMB apps with one system at a published per-user price.
The catchSmall teams pay a surcharge, the plan split is unclear on the pricing page, and named integrations are few.

Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Days to weeks: the 7-day test drive shows the modules, but moving books, customers and inventory into an ERP takes planning.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Adding portals beyond 100 customers, vendors or applicants a month costs $99 or $499 a month.
  3. Walled garden
    Medium: APIs are offered, but named integrations are mostly payments (Stripe, Authorize.net).
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
