Most product businesses run on a mix of spreadsheets, a generic project tool, an inventory app and, eventually, a heavy ERP. Here's an honest look at where each fits, and where Runvio is different: one connected screen from lead to shipped to margin.

Not really
Runvio vs spreadsheets
Fair take: spreadsheets are free, flexible and perfect early on. Runvio is for the point where "which tab is the latest one?" starts costing you money.
Runvio vs monday / Airtable / Notion
Fair take: these are brilliant, flexible tools. If you enjoy building your own system, they're great. Runvio is for founders who'd rather it already work.
Runvio vs Cin7 / Katana
Fair take: if inventory is your only problem, a dedicated inventory tool is excellent. Runvio wins when you need the whole operation, not just the warehouse, in one place.
Runvio vs Unleashed
Fair take: for manufacturing-heavy teams that need bills of materials and batch traceability, Unleashed is a strong specialist. Runvio wins when your pipeline, projects and margins should live in the same system as your stock, at one price.
Runvio vs NetSuite
Fair take: at a few hundred people with complex finance needs, a full ERP earns its keep. Below that, most product founders want Runvio's coverage without the cost and the six-month rollout.
The honest pitch
Start free, import your spreadsheets, and decide for yourself. No card required.
