The case for a suite
Apps from one vendor share data, so you enter a customer once and see them in sales, support and billing. One login and one invoice can also simplify administration.
The case for single apps
If you only need one or two functions, a single app is simpler and cheaper. You can add others later and avoid paying for features nobody uses.
A simple rule
List the functions you will really use in the next twelve months. If you need four or more, compare suite pricing against buying apps separately.
Questions to ask before you choose
- How many apps would your team genuinely use?
- Is the suite priced per user for everyone?
- How hard is it to leave later?
- Does a smaller plan meet your needs now?
