Crm-systems vs 1C — comparison
No marketing fluff. Green is our advantage; where 1C is stronger, we say so too.
| Feature | Crm-systems | 1C |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Free for small business | Paid license + yearly upgrades |
| Language & Ukraine support | Ukrainian by default, built in Ukraine | Russian origin; supply and support in Ukraine discontinued |
| Cloud or server | Cloud: open it in your browser and work — nothing to install | Usually your own server or PC, with setup and administration |
| Complexity & onboarding | Simple interface, first launch in 5 minutes | Powerful but complex: often needs an implementation developer |
| Order management | Yes — handy order cards and a sales pipeline | Yes, but through heavy configurations |
| Inventory management | Yes, free: stock levels, receiving, write-offs | Yes — deep inventory accounting in specialized configurations |
| Nova Poshta | Built-in integration: TTNs and statuses in one click | Through third-party add-ons or custom processing |
| Accounting & reporting | Basic sales figures, without full accounting | Full-fledged accounting and statutory reporting |
| ERP depth | A lightweight tool for orders, customers and inventory | Deep industry ERP configurations for manufacturing and trade |
When 1C is the better choice
Honesty builds trust, so here are the cases where we'd recommend staying on 1C:
- 1C has full-fledged accounting: ledger entries, VAT, payroll, fixed assets — we don't have that.
- 1C is tightly integrated with Ukraine's tax authority and statutory reporting in its accounting configurations.
- For manufacturing and complex trade there are deep industry ERP configurations of 1C that a lightweight CRM doesn't replace.
- Over the years, a large ecosystem of add-ons, customizations and implementation specialists has grown up around 1C.
When to choose Crm-systems
Choose us if you need to manage orders, customers and inventory for a small business — with no fees, no server of your own and no product of Russian origin. Our cloud business management app launches in minutes, runs in the browser and has Nova Poshta built in. But if your business needs full accounting, statutory reporting to the tax authority or an industry ERP — a dedicated accounting solution of the 1C class is the right tool, and you can keep our CRM alongside it as a simple, fast sales front end.
FAQ
What is a free Ukrainian alternative to 1C?
CRM Free UA is a free cloud app for business, built in Ukraine. It covers order, customer and inventory management and has Nova Poshta built in. It isn't a full replacement for accounting-grade 1C — it's a modern, lightweight tool for day-to-day work with sales and stock.
Can this CRM fully replace 1C?
If you used 1C for orders, customers and simple inventory — yes, we replace that for free and in Ukrainian. But if you need full accounting, payroll, VAT reporting or an industry ERP, a dedicated accounting solution is a better fit, and you can keep our CRM alongside it as a convenient sales front end.
Why are businesses in Ukraine moving away from 1C?
1C is a product of Russian origin, and its official supply and support in Ukraine have been discontinued. That's why companies are switching to Ukrainian and cloud-based accounting apps — to avoid depending on Russian software, paying for licenses or maintaining their own server.
Do I need a server or installation, like with 1C?
No. Our business management app runs in the cloud: you open it in a browser from a computer or phone. No need to buy a server, install a client or pay for administration — getting started takes a few minutes.
