Striven is a true all-in-one platform: accounting, CRM, inventory, HR, project management, and purchasing under a single login. Transparent per-user pricing, cloud-native architecture, and a 94% user satisfaction score make it one of the more compelling SMB full-ERP options at sub-enterprise price points.

Strong SMB full-ERP with transparent pricing and broad functional coverage — best fit for businesses that want a single system replacing QuickBooks plus ops tools. Manufacturing depth is solid for light discrete and distribution but not purpose-built for complex BOM or shop floor environments.
