SAP ERP vs Striven

SAP ERP is a cloud-based system for managing core organizational processes, including finance, HR, manufacturing, supply chain, sales, and procurement. It supports inventory, orders, and multiple entities, with finance-related insights and real-time visibility from integrated data and analytics. Embedded AI can automate tasks, anticipate outcomes, and guide decisions. SAP Finance Base covers accounting, reporting and compliance, cash and working capital management, and payments and bank connectivity. SAP Supply Chain Base covers product lifecycle, production, warehousing and shipping, and plant maintenance. SAP BTP and SAP Integration Suite connect it with third-party landscapes using open connectivity and pre-built accelerators. SAP positions SAP GROW for midsize and large companies, SAP Business One for small businesses, and RISE with SAP for existing on-premises customers. Pricing is available on request, though some finance and supply chain packages are listed at $295 a month per user. There is no free tier stated. A 30-day SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition trial uses a shared tenant and sample data, with limited features.

Striven is cloud-based business management software that combines accounting with operations tools for small to midsize businesses. Its feature list includes CRM and sales, project management, inventory, human resources, reporting and analytics, and workflows; finance, order management, manufacturing, and multi-entity support are also listed.

Collaboration tools are available through native Android and iOS apps, and the platform also supports web access and an API. Striven says the API supports custom integrations, real-time data syncing, and secure data transfer. Listed integrations include Authorize.net, Google and Microsoft Calendar, Onfleet, ShipStation, Shopify, Square, Stripe, Gmail, and Twilio. Standard costs $35 a month and Enterprise costs $70 a month, each billed monthly; each adds $25/user when there are under five users.
