Key differences
Same reconciliation pattern
We use the same clearing-account approach A2X pioneered. Per-transaction journal entries that net to your bank deposit. Three-layer reconciliation that hits zero or tells you why.
Better COGS by default
A2X gates COGS tracking to its premium tier ($49+/mo). ERPClaw includes multi-warehouse COGS in the free tier with FIFO valuation.
It's a full ERP, not just middleware
A2X is middleware between Shopify and QuickBooks. ERPClaw is the ERP itself. Inventory, HR, payroll, CRM, manufacturing, all in the same database.
Open source
A2X is proprietary. ERPClaw is MIT licensed; you can read every journal-entry rule and modify it.
