Striven review
A broad ERP platform with limited fit for dedicated IT release management.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Striven is a cloud-based business management and ERP platform for small and midsize businesses. It brings accounting, financial reporting, CRM and sales, inventory, order management, project and task management, human resources, portals, workflows, and manufacturing into one system. Businesses managing finance, stock, purchasing, sales, production, and multiple entities can use it as a broad operational hub. Its web, iOS, and Android availability, along with API access, supports teams working across devices and connected systems.
Published pricing shows paid Standard and Enterprise plans with simple monthly per-user pricing, plus separate Portal Free and Portal tiers. The listed starting price is 35 per user monthly, and a 90-day free trial is available. The platform's workflow automation and customizable approval processes can help businesses coordinate internal operations, while customer and vendor portals extend access beyond internal users. Integrations include Shopify, Square, Stripe, ShipStation, Onfleet, Authorize.net, Google Calendar, Microsoft Calendar, Gmail, and Twilio.
Striven's strongest case is breadth: it combines finance, inventory, orders, manufacturing, portals, approvals, and intercompany transactions rather than focusing on one operational function. Real-time inventory across warehouses and locations, bills of materials, material-cost calculation, bank reconciliation, and REST API connectivity make it suitable for businesses that need connected ERP workflows. Teams seeking a focused IT release-management product should choose a more specialized option; teams needing broad business management with workflow automation should consider Striven.
