Dynamics 365 Alternative: All-in-One without the puzzle

Dynamics 365 is modular: Sales, Customer Service, Field Service, Project Operations, Finance, and more. Each module has its own license, and integrating them requires configuration – often with consultants. For SMEs, the result can be a patchwork of partially connected modules, each with its own learning curve and renewal cycle. The total cost of Sales plus Project Operations plus Finance, plus integration work, quickly exceeds what many mid-market businesses want to spend. Microsoft's strength is breadth; the downside is complexity and cost.

cashwerk takes an integrated approach. CRM with pipeline, project management with Kanban and time tracking, and GoBD-compliant invoicing with XRechnung and ZUGFeRD – all in one platform, all included. There is no module puzzle: everything is designed to work together from the start. The AI assistant CASPER is built into the core, not a separate add-on. Data flows from lead to project to invoice without manual handoffs or integration projects.

For DACH-focused businesses, cashwerk is optimized for German requirements. GDPR compliance, German hosting, GoBD-ready invoicing, and XRechnung/ZUGFeRD support are standard. Dynamics 365 can meet these needs, but often requires additional configuration and sometimes third-party extensions. cashwerk delivers them out of the box.

Pricing is transparent: 249 euros per month for up to 15 users for the complete platform. Dynamics 365 module pricing varies widely and can easily reach 100 to 150 euros per user per month when combining Sales, Projects, and Finance. For a ten-person team on the Elite plan (up to 40 users), cashwerk costs 499 euros per month – often less than half of a comparable Dynamics 365 setup. No hidden costs, no module surprises, and one platform that simply works.
