Striven in depth

Read the full write-up

Striven is a cloud business-management platform for small and midsize businesses that want accounting alongside operational and collaboration tools. It suits teams coordinating several functions in one system; its monthly plans and possible per-user surcharge make the seat count important.

The breadth is the draw, but businesses looking for just one focused tool may have little reason to take on a broader platform.

Overview

Striven brings accounting together with CRM and sales, project management, inventory, human resources, reporting and analytics, and workflows. Finance, inventory, order management, manufacturing tools, and multi-entity support extend its operational reach. That combination may help businesses coordinate financial and day-to-day work without splitting those functions across separate systems. It is a less natural fit when a business needs only a narrow task or service-management capability.

Key features

Collaboration and integrations

File sharing, instant messaging, task and project management, and shared calendars support coordination across teams. Integration guides cover Authorize.net, Google Calendar, Microsoft Calendar, Onfleet, ShipStation, Shopify, Square, Stripe, Gmail, and Twilio. Striven’s API supports custom integrations, real-time data syncing, secure data transfer, and developer documentation, which gives businesses a path to connect other systems.

Security and support

Miles IT engages an annual SOC 2 Type II audit for controls relevant to confidentiality, security, and accessibility of hosted systems. Striven’s data protection measures include encryption, granular access control, automated backup and recovery, and audit trails and monitoring. Free support includes online chat, ticket submission, and answers to how-to questions.

Mobile access and trial

Striven’s collaboration tools are accessible through native iOS and Android apps. The 90-day free trial includes premium features and does not require a credit card, giving prospective buyers time to assess the platform before committing.

Pricing

Striven combines paid business plans with free portal options. The monthly seat surcharge can change the cost for smaller teams, so compare the total against the number of users who need access.

PlanPriceWhat it includesStandard$35 a month, billed monthly; under 5 users, add an additional $25/user.Paid plan; the supplied plan details do not specify its feature set.Enterprise$70 a month, billed monthly; under 5 users, add an additional $25/user.Paid plan; the supplied plan details do not specify its feature set.Portal FreefreeUp to 100 customers, 100 vendors, and 100 applications per month.PortalCustom pricingUp to 500 customers, 500 vendors, and 500 applications per month.Customer, Vendor, and Career PortalfreeUp to 100 customers, 100 vendors, and 100 applications per month.The free portal tiers are capped by monthly application volume and customer and vendor counts, so they are better suited to modest portal use than higher-volume needs. The paid plans carry a substantial additional charge when fewer than five users are involved. Buyers should confirm which plan fits their needs before treating the base monthly price as the total cost.

Platforms

Striven is cloud-deployed and supports web, iOS, Android, and API access. The native mobile apps provide access to collaboration tools on iOS and Android; the API supports custom integrations and data syncing.

Who it's for

Small and midsize businesses that need accounting alongside operations, people management, reporting, and collaboration are the clearest fit. Inventory, order management, manufacturing tools, and multi-entity support broaden its usefulness for organizations with more than basic bookkeeping needs. Businesses that need only a single function, or that must keep the cost of a small user group down, should weigh the breadth against the monthly surcharge.

Pros and cons

Pros: Accounting sits alongside CRM, inventory, HR, project management, reporting, and workflows, which can reduce the need to separate those functions across tools.

Pros: The 90-day premium-feature trial requires no credit card, allowing an extended evaluation before purchase.

Pros: Free portal plans offer defined customer, vendor, and application allowances for organizations with modest portal volumes.

Cons: The additional $25/user charge for plans under five users can make the listed monthly prices less attractive to small teams.

Cons: The free portal tiers cap customers, vendors, and monthly applications at 100, limiting their fit for higher-volume use.

Cons: Teams needing only one focused capability may not benefit enough from the platform’s broad scope.

Alternatives

For a garage-door business looking for a purpose-built option, the Garage Door Software directory is a relevant place to compare alternatives. Readers choosing by category can also browse IT Release Management Software, Fund Accounting Software, or ERP Software.

Fieseros is worth considering if a free plan with 100 lifetime jobs, leads and customers, quotes, estimates, invoices, payments, and a basic calendar better matches the work. Choose HiveSuite instead if its Solo plan’s 1 admin and 2 crew arrangement and all-features access suit your team; it costs £34.99 a month, including VAT. Pillar may suit garage-door operators who prioritize a free first-person tier with unlimited customers and 100 jobs, estimates, and invoices per month. FieldForge offers a free Solo plan limited to one technician and 15 invoices a month, while its Solo Pro plan costs $19 a month for one technician and unlimited invoices.

Home Service Pro is a candidate for teams wanting a Starter plan with scheduling, dispatch, CRM, invoicing, a mobile app, and route optimization for $65 a month. Kaldrex has a Solo plan at $29 a month for one user and one trade, with an additional trade costing $15. ProHelper is another option at $35 a month for CRM, requests, jobs and visits, scheduling and route management, estimates and invoices, and a price book. Brivium may be preferable for a solo operator: its Solo plan is $19.99 a month, billed annually as $239.88/year, for one user and customer, job, quote, invoice, and schedule tools.

Verdict

Striven is a strong candidate for small and midsize businesses that want accounting and a broad set of operational and collaboration functions under one cloud platform. Its breadth is the main reason to choose it; the monthly per-user surcharge and free portal caps are the main reasons to compare alternatives, particularly for small teams or businesses with narrow needs.

Verdict

Striven brings finance, operations, and collaboration features into one cloud platform. Review the per-user surcharge and the feature requirements for the plans before choosing.
