Name: Oris Work
Price: 399 INR

Question 1

Why would I move from Perfex CRM to Oris Work?

Accepted Answer

Perfex is a capable self-hosted PHP CRM for $65 one-time, but most teams outgrow it when they need accounting integrations, real-time team chat, mobile-first workflows, AI features, or HR and payroll - none of which Perfex provides natively.

Question 2

How much does Oris Work cost compared to Perfex?

Accepted Answer

Perfex is a $65 one-time licence that you self-host (you absorb hosting, maintenance, and patching costs). Oris Work is a fully managed SaaS from INR 399 per user per month with no infrastructure costs, automatic updates, and a 14-day free trial.

Question 3

Can I migrate my Perfex data to Oris Work?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Perfex stores everything in MySQL. You export your clients, contacts, invoices, and projects as CSV via phpMyAdmin or database access, then upload to Oris Works CSV import during onboarding. Most migrations complete in under 2 hours.

Question 4

Does Oris Work integrate with my accounting software like Perfex does not?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Oris Work includes 8 native accounting connectors out of the box: Tally Prime, Zoho Books, QuickBooks Online, Xero, SAP Business One, ERPNext, Busy Accounting, and a generic webhook / REST API connector.

Question 5

Does Oris Work work on mobile?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Oris Work is a progressive web app (PWA) with offline support and can be added to the home screen on iOS and Android. Perfex is responsive web only, with no PWA, offline, or mobile-native experience.

Question 6

When is Perfex still the right choice?

Accepted Answer

If you are a technical founder or developer who wants full PHP source-code access, no recurring subscription, and complete control of your own server - and you do not need accounting connectors, team chat, AI, HR, or mobile-native workflows - Perfex remains a legitimate choice for a solo practitioner or very small team.
