AktisHub vs OpenSolar
Free platform vs all-in-one plan
you want a free design and proposal tool for straightforward residential jobs, you are happy with a platform funded by hardware and finance partners, and you value a large global user community.
Design, single-line diagrams, proposals and CRM on one job record.
AktisHub vs Pylon
Per project vs CRM included
you quote a modest number of residential jobs, prefer paying per project instead of a monthly fee, and want polished 3D shading in a design-first tool.
CRM included on every plan instead of an add-on.
AktisHub vs SolarPlus
Solar design and sales tools
you do off-grid and stand-alone power systems or complex commercial analysis, want detailed compliance flagging and handover documents, and are happy to invest time learning a power-user tool.
Faster to learn, so new consultants quote confidently sooner.
AktisHub vs Solar Proof
Proposals and design
you quote a variable number of residential and battery jobs, prefer paying per project, and want a fast AI template builder for branded proposals.
Free plan and a single monthly price that does not grow with every quote.
AktisHub vs ArcSolar
Design and CRM compared
you are a solar retailer or installer of 2 to 50 people who wants a cloud CRM built around the sales process, with AI electricity bill analysis and rebate workflow support.
Roof design, single-line diagrams and proposals in the same platform as the CRM.
AktisHub vs Generic CRM or spreadsheet
Why solar-specific wins
your business is small or non-solar, you already have a CRM set up the way you like it, and you design and quote in separate tools without minding the double entry.
Everything a solar job needs is already there, so there is nothing to assemble.
