Pros & Cons
EERPNext
Pros
- All modules are free and open source with no per-user fees, so costs scale with compute rather than headcount.
- Leads, opportunities and quotations connect directly to sales orders, invoices and stock in the same system.
- Highly customizable: reviewers praise changing forms without code, with full scripting and custom apps for developers.
- Wide set of built-in connectors, including Twilio and Exotel telephony, Stripe, PayPal, Shopify, WooCommerce and Plaid.
- Cheap managed hosting on Frappe Cloud starting at $5 a month, with a 14-day trial.
Cons
- The ERPNext CRM workspace is scheduled for removal in version 17, and Frappe recommends its separate Frappe CRM app instead.
- Reviewers say setup and integration with legacy systems require skilled technical staff.
- Reviewers report performance slowdowns with large databases.
- Reporting is described as limited by some reviewers, and the interface as dated.
- The Product Warranty covers bug fixes only, not functional support.
Teamleader
Pros
- CRM, quotations, Peppol e-invoicing and time tracking come in one subscription, so small service firms can avoid separate billing tools.
- Reviewers on G2 and Capterra describe the interface as intuitive and easy to learn.
- Boosters can be added or removed at any time, so you pay only for modules you use.
- Discounts include 17 percent off annual billing and 50 percent off users from the sixth onward.
- A REST API, webhooks and integrations with Exact, Yuki, Mollie, Stripe, Gmail and Outlook are available.
Cons
- Boosters are priced per account, so total cost rises quickly once project management and planning are added.
- Reviewers report price increases that were poorly communicated, including one who said the annual price doubled.
- Customization is limited, and automation offers only simple triggers.
- Project management is weaker than in dedicated tools, with no task dependencies or capacity planning in Focus.
- Multiple sales pipelines are only available on the top FLOW plan.
