The Simpler Microsoft 365 Alternative for Small Businesses
Microsoft 365 is powerful — but it's built for enterprises with IT teams. Lathran Suite gives SMBs everything they actually need: messaging, tasks, docs, and CRM in one clean workspace. No complexity, no overkill.

Pricing Comparison
Same features, half the price — and a free plan Microsoft doesn't offer.
Free
Lathran Suite is free for up to 5 members with all features. M365 has no free tier.
Paid Plan
M365 Business Basic is $6 but excludes desktop apps. Standard is $12.50. Plus needs Dynamics for CRM.
10-person team (annual)
CRM via Dynamics 365 adds $50+/user/month on top — total cost balloons fast.
4 Reasons SMBs Choose Lathran Suite over M365
Microsoft 365 is an app collection, not a workspace
M365 gives you Teams, SharePoint, Planner, OneNote, and Outlook — all separate apps with separate interfaces. Your team still has to switch between them. Lathran Suite puts everything in one unified workspace.
M365 is overkill for small teams
Microsoft 365 is built for enterprises with IT departments. SMBs end up paying for features they never use and spending weeks on setup. Lathran Suite is ready in hours — no IT team, no admin complexity.
60% cheaper with no feature gaps
Microsoft 365 Business Basic starts at $6/user/month — but you still need separate tools for CRM and helpdesk. Lathran Suite at $5/user/month includes everything, with zero add-ons needed.
No vendor lock-in
Microsoft 365 ties you into a complex ecosystem that's hard to leave. Lathran Suite is lightweight, portable, and designed so your team data is always accessible — no lock-in, no migration headaches.
