About Us
Wartaholic is an independent publication covering business software for small and midsize companies in the United States. We started this site because buying an ERP or CRM system should not require a consulting engagement to understand the options — it just requires good information.
Our goal is simple: publish clear, honest, and genuinely useful comparisons of the platforms US businesses actually evaluate. Every guide is written for the person who has to make the decision and live with it, whether you are replacing a spreadsheet, migrating off a legacy system, or consolidating tools after a merger.
What We Cover
- ERP platforms — Sage, Odoo, Epicor, NetSuite and others, compared on data model, deployment, and fit
- CRM platforms — from free tiers and low-cost tools to enterprise sales suites
- Pricing — licensing models, per-user versus per-contact billing, implementation and add-on costs
- Implementation — migration, data cleanup, go-live risk, and the first ninety days
How We Research
We work from primary sources: vendor documentation and pricing pages, product edition comparisons, published implementation standards, and hands-on deployment experience. We verify product names, editions, and pricing models before publishing, and we date our figures because software pricing changes frequently.
We are specific about uncertainty. Where vendors do not publish list pricing, or where negotiated pricing varies widely, we say so and give a labeled range instead of a false precision. Where a platform is weak for a given use case, we say that too.
Editorial Independence
Our coverage is not sponsored, and vendors do not review or approve our articles. Some links on this site are affiliate links; if you click one and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This never determines which platforms we cover or how we rank them, and we disclose it on every article where it applies.
