Comparison
2bix
or a stack of tools
Most businesses run on five apps at once: clients in a CRM, calculations in Excel, conversations in Telegram, tasks on a board, files in the cloud. Each is fine on its own, but data moves between them by hand. Here is an honest comparison of what changes when it all lives in one place.
| What | The usual stack | |
|---|---|---|
| A client card with the whole history: deals, chats, tasks, files, payments | Client in the CRM, chats in a messenger, payments in a sheet — history pieced together from three places | |
| Task boards are linked to table rows: change a deal status and the card moves by itself | A separate board; the CRM and the board drift apart until someone updates them by hand | |
| Tables of your own structure and Workbooks — Excel-like sheets in the browser with formulas and pivots | Excel or Google Sheets on the side; CRM data exported as a file | |
| Telegram, WhatsApp, VK and website chat in one window, each conversation tied to the client card | Each messenger in its own app, conversations on employees’ phones | |
| Actions: drag-and-drop flows — remind, create a task, message a client, calculate — no developer | Integrators, Zapier or a developer; the link breaks when one of the tools changes | |
| Reports and dashboards over any table, calculated on open | Each tool has its own report; the overall one is assembled in Excel by hand | |
| Contracts and invoices from a Word template filled with deal data, PDF in one click | A Word template filled in by hand | |
| Built-in video calls with recording | Zoom or Google Meet — a separate subscription | |
| A business drive: files attached to clients, tasks and tables | Google Drive or Dropbox, links pasted into tasks | |
| Roles and permissions down to a table column; a departing employee loses access to everything at once | Permissions set up in every tool; a departing employee is switched off in five places | |
| Modules and packages: restaurants, auto service, warehouse, IT, services — installed in a couple of clicks | Each app is configured from scratch, or an industry app is bought separately | |
| Answers from your business data and helps set the system up in plain words | At best in one of the tools and only over its own data | |
| One sign-in for everything | Five logins and passwords per employee | |
| One | Five subscriptions, each with its own per-seat price | |
| In one place, with daily backups and point restore of rows | Scattered across tools; backups differ per tool or don’t exist | |
| Sums and the Central Bank rate, Uzbek phones and addresses, the developer within reach | Foreign services: currency, card payments, support in another time zone |
Where the stack is stronger
To keep the choice honest:
Depth in a narrow niche
Single-niche apps — store tills, restaurant accounting, salon booking — go deeper than a 2bix industry package. 2bix has no barcode-scanner checkout today.
Habit
Everyone knows Excel and Telegram; 2bix takes learning. There are built-in lessons and import from Excel and 1C, but the first days go into moving data and training.
Accounting
Keep tax reporting and payroll in 1C: 2bix does not replace it, it holds the business’s working data.
Telephony and SMS
Client calls in the card and SMS campaigns are not built in yet.
Questions
Do I have to drop everything at once?
No. Start with one thing — say, clients and chats — and add the rest when it suits you. Data from Excel and 1C comes in by import.
How much does it cost?
There is a free plan with no card. Paid plans are on the pricing page.
What if 2bix doesn’t fit?
Export your data to Excel at any time — you are not locked in.
Try it on your own data
Free, no card. Move one table over and watch it come alive.
