Why businesses compare Unleashed with Tall Emu
Three differences come up most often when businesses evaluate both.
One product, not a module stack
Unleashed prices CRM (from US$450/month), warehouse app, B2B store and production as separate paid add-ons over the base plan, with extra users also charged per month. In Tall Emu, CRM, quoting, warehouse, portal and freight are one product at one per-user price.
The sale starts before the order
Unleashed picks up at orders and stock. Tall Emu starts at the lead - capture, pipeline, quoting with live stock and margin, then order, warehouse and freight from the same record.
MYOB and Xero, both first-class
Unleashed grew up beside Xero. Tall Emu has deep two-way sync with both MYOB and Xero, so accounting choice doesn't decide your operations software.
Unleashed vs Tall Emu at a glance
Both handle multi-warehouse stock, serial and batch tracking, and purchase orders well. The difference is how much of the business each one covers, and how the price is built.
Unleashed
Inventory and manufacturing first, with strong Xero alignment. Published plans are in US dollars, excluding taxes: Lite US$99, Core US$399 and Pro US$729 per month, with 3-5 user licences included and additional users US$69-89 per month each. Paid add-on modules sit on top - CRM from US$450 per month, B2B store, warehouse app and production modules, each priced separately - plus separately priced support plans. Sales pipeline comes from the CRM add-on module or a connected CRM such as Prospect.

Which one fits your business?
Unleashed is a strong fit if you want a dedicated inventory engine beside Xero, already run your sales process in a separate CRM, and are comfortable assembling the pieces module by module.
Tall Emu fits Australian and New Zealand product businesses that want the whole path - lead, quote, sell, fulfil - in one system, priced per user rather than per module, with MYOB or Xero staying as the accounts.
