Our verdict

HansaWorld suits small businesses that want accounting, CRM and operational modules inside a single Standard ERP rather than a stack of separate tools. Standard ERP starts at $10 with a 30 free trial, though there is no free plan and support runs through a help centre.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • A free trial of 30 days outlasts the 15 day median for accounting software on our data.
  • Standard ERP covers crm and help desk and automation, project management and pos in the same suite, so separate subscriptions for those jobs can be dropped.
  • Standard ERP per user pricing starts at $10, under the €18.60 typical for the category.
  • Local compliance runs through mtd vat, keeping VAT reporting inside the same product.
  • HansaWorld has traded since 1988, so the vendor behind the suite has a long record.

Cons

  • There is no free plan, so the first payment lands as soon as the 30 trial ends.
  • Support runs through help centre only, so the vendor leans on written answers instead of live help.
  • Mobile access is listed for ios, which narrows the handset choice for larger device fleets.
  • With a per user entry of $10 on Standard ERP, a multi seat team pays more than the headline $10 suggests.

Who it suits

  • Small businesses that want crm and help desk and automation, project management and pos covered by the same ERP subscription.
  • Buyers who want a free trial of 30 days before paying anything.
  • Business in the small business and enterprise range that prefer a single supplier for accounts, CRM and point of sale.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Shoppers who want a free plan rather than a paid start, since HansaWorld has none: Qonto at €9 and Accountable at €9.90 are worth lining up against it.
  • Teams that need live help when something breaks, because support runs through help centre: Accountable or Billy suit a different support expectation.
  • Anyone shopping for a narrow bookkeeping app, since Standard ERP carries automation, project management and pos as well as accounts: Billy or Qonto suit a smaller purchase.

What you get free

There is no free plan at HansaWorld, so the software has no permanent no cost tier. What you get instead is a free trial of 30 days, long enough to load real records, run a stretch of transactions and read the output before committing to anything. A trial is not a free plan: after it ends nothing stays open, and there is no cut down version left behind. Because the trial is the whole of the free offer, it carries more weight here than it would at a vendor with a permanent tier. Plan the 30 window around the work you want to prove out, and reach a decision before it closes.

Intro and renewal prices

Standard ERP is advertised from $10, which is the starting figure for the plan rather than a promotional rate. Treat $10 as the floor for budgeting and keep it apart from what the subscription renews at, since renewal is billed as a plan and the renewal rate is worth confirming with the vendor before the first invoice lands. There is no free plan, so a 30 trial leads straight into a paid subscription rather than into a free tier. If a reader is weighing only the headline number, $10 is the figure to put next to the others.

How it compares on our data

On our data HansaWorld ranks 9 of 166 brands on free trial length, which puts it near the top of that ranking. On price from it ranks 52 of 200, also close to the front rather than the back of the field. Read together, the two ranks describe a brand that is easy to try and cheap to start. They also sharpen the questions worth asking of any rival: a vendor with a longer trial and a weaker price rank gives more time and a bigger first bill, while a shorter trial with a stronger price rank is the faster, cheaper decision.

The company behind it

HansaWorld has been trading since 1988, so there is a long record behind the product rather than a recent launch. Support runs through help centre, which puts day to day help in the hands of the customer rather than an agent. A help centre is quick for a lookup on a report or a module, and it keeps the answers in writing. It suits teams that read. If your business expects a call back or a live chat when something breaks, the help centre route is the part to weigh, because that is the channel listed.

How HansaWorld compares

Frequently asked questions

How much does HansaWorld Standard ERP cost to start?+

Standard ERP is listed from $10, which is the entry figure for the plan. A free trial of 30 days comes before that, so the first payment follows the trial rather than a free tier. Renewal is billed as a subscription, so confirm the renewal rate with the vendor before the first invoice.

Is there a free plan or free version of HansaWorld?+

There is no free plan, so nothing stays available after a trial ends. The free offer is a trial of 30 days, which sits at 9 of 166 on our ranking of trial length. Ongoing use of the suite means a paid plan from then on.

What is included in the Standard ERP plan?+

Standard ERP is the main edition and carries a set of integrated modules under the same subscription. Alongside it, HansaWorld lists Standard Accounts, CRM, Hotel, Eats and POS editions, so a business can pick the edition matching what it runs. The range also spans crm and help desk and automation, project management and pos.

Does HansaWorld handle local VAT reporting?+

Local compliance is covered through mtd vat, so VAT reporting sits inside the product rather than in a separate tool. That scheme is the one listed, so a business whose filings need a different regime should check cover before it commits. Use the 30 trial to confirm the reporting fits your cycle.

Is there a mobile app for phones and tablets?+

The mobile app is listed for ios, so handset support is tied to that platform. Teams that work mainly in a browser will find more of the suite relevant than teams that need a native handset build. Use the trial of 30 days to see how the modules behave on the devices your staff already carry.

How do I get help from HansaWorld when something goes wrong?+

Support runs through help centre, so answers are self-service rather than a live conversation. That suits teams happy searching for their own answers on reports and modules. If your business leans on a call back or a live chat, treat the help centre route as the main thing to test during the 30 trial.

Who is HansaWorld built for?+

HansaWorld serves the small business and enterprise end of the market, so a small business and a larger operation both sit inside the target. The ERP shape suits a company that wants accounts and operations in one place, and Standard ERP from $10 keeps the starting point modest. A shop after a single bookkeeping app would be overserved by that scope.

How does HansaWorld compare with Qonto and Billy on price?+

Qonto lists €9 and Accountable €9.90 as their entry figures, while Billy lists DKK 160. HansaWorld's Standard ERP starts at $10, so on the published numbers it sits alongside Qonto and Accountable and below Billy. Different currencies apply, so convert before drawing a conclusion.
