# Alternatives and comparisons

> Comparisons between CubeERP and the systems it is usually weighed up against, including when the other system is the better choice.

How these pages are written:

- Every statement about another product is a structural fact published by that vendor - how it is licensed, how it is deployed, whether it is sold direct or through partners. We do not comment on anyone’s quality, reliability or roadmap.
- We do not quote competitor prices. They change, they vary by reseller and territory, and a stale figure would be unfair to them and misleading to you. We describe the shape of the pricing instead.
- Each page carries a "when they are the better choice" section. If we could not find a case where the other system wins, the page would not exist.
- Cube Systems Limited is not a partner, reseller or affiliate of any vendor listed. All trade marks belong to their respective owners.

**Our own two products:** [CubeERP or CubeCRM: which do you need?](https://cubeerp.co.uk/cubeerp-vs-cubecrm)

## UK accounting-led

Systems built outwards from a finance core. Strong on the ledger, thinner as you move towards the shop floor.

- **Sage 200** (Sage Group plc) - The default UK step up from Sage 50. Finance-first, sold and implemented through a reseller network. https://cubeerp.co.uk/alternatives/sage-200
- **Sage 50** (Sage Group plc) - Accounting software with stock attached. Excellent at the books, deliberately limited beyond them. https://cubeerp.co.uk/alternatives/sage-50

## Global ERP suite

Large international platforms sold and implemented through partner networks. Capable, and priced for the scale they assume.

- **SAP Business One** (SAP SE) - SAP’s small-business ERP, sold and implemented through a global partner network. https://cubeerp.co.uk/alternatives/sap-business-one
- **Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central** (Microsoft) - Microsoft’s mid-market ERP. Per-user licensing, deep Microsoft 365 integration, partner-implemented. https://cubeerp.co.uk/alternatives/dynamics-365-business-central
- **Oracle NetSuite** (Oracle) - The best-known cloud ERP suite. Core platform plus modules plus users, with a one-off implementation fee. https://cubeerp.co.uk/alternatives/netsuite

## Open source

Enormous scope for the money, on the understanding that ownership of the outcome largely transfers to you.

- **Odoo** (Odoo S.A.) - Open-source business apps with a per-user subscription. Enormous scope, and a strong DIY culture. https://cubeerp.co.uk/alternatives/odoo
