Alternatives
Outgrown your current tools?
Honest guides: when Excel, a rented CRM or WordPress is the right choice — and when switching to a custom solution pays off.
Excel alternative
Excel isn't bad — you've outgrown it.
Most SMBs start in Excel, and it works for a long time. But when version chaos, duplicate data entry, and half-day reports become normal, it's worth an honest look at what a custom system can do.
Google Sheets alternative
Sheets is great for sharing — not for everything.
When company data lives in the cloud but permissions, automation, and reporting already hurt, it's time to ask: what if the system matched your process?
Paper alternative
Paper is reliable — but not scalable.
Notebooks, forms, signed receipts — many SMBs still run this way. When data scatters, search takes forever, and reports are manual, it's time to go digital.
Trello alternative
Trello is a great start — not an ERP.
Kanban boards, labels, checklists — many teams start here. When customer data, invoicing, and reports live elsewhere, it's time for one integrated solution.
MiniCRM alternative
MiniCRM is a good fit — while it fits.
MiniCRM (often searched as mini CRM) is many Hungarian SMBs' first small-business CRM — and it works for a long time. When your process no longer fits the box, custom CRM development can be cheaper and more effective long term.
WordPress alternative
WordPress powers 40% of the web — not every SMB needs it.
Blog, landing page, simple company site — WordPress works for a long time. When security, speed, or custom features hurt, a modern custom site is a better long-term investment.
Salesforce alternative
Salesforce is an enterprise tool — often too much for SMBs.
Salesforce is the CRM king at large companies. But at 5–30 people, license cost, rollout, and complexity are often disproportionate to the benefit. There's a better path.
Shoprenter alternative
Shoprenter is a fast start — but it has limits.
For Hungarian SMBs, Shoprenter is a convenient webshop platform: template, payment, shipping — done. When custom pricing, ERP integration, or B2B portal is needed, the box gets tight.
