Why businesses switch from Cin7
Cin7 is powerful but expensive. Here is what it is really costing you.
Year 1 costs $9-19K+
Cin7 Core starts at $349/mo. Add implementation ($5-15K) and add-ons for barcode scanning, and Year 1 is $9-19K+. Celerp is free.
Per-user pricing adds up
Cin7 charges per user - your whole office needs access? That's $50-100/user/mo more. Celerp never charges per seat: one flat Celerp Connect plan puts your whole office on it, however many people you add.
You dont own your data
Cin7 is SaaS - if you cancel, you lose access. Your data lives on their servers. Celerp is self-hosted - your data stays on your machine.
No built-in accounting
Cin7 does not include accounting. You still need QuickBooks or Xero on top. Celerp has full double-entry accounting built in.
