Daftra

Tier S ยท Recommended

All-in-one cloud ERP, accounting & e-invoicing built for the Arab market

An Egyptian-origin SaaS (by Izam Web Solutions) and one of the most widely recommended accounting and e-invoice platforms for Egypt โ€” accounting, invoicing, inventory, CRM and HR across 50+ industries with a strong native-Arabic UX and a dedicated Egyptian e-invoice product.

Pros

  • + Egyptian-native with deep ETA integration
  • + Full ERP suite (CRM/HR/inventory)
  • + Strong Arabic + 50+ industry templates
  • + Self-serve pricing + 14-day trial

Cons

  • โˆ’ Priced in USD โ€” FX risk on a volatile EGP
  • โˆ’ Broad suite can overwhelm micro-businesses
  • โˆ’ Per-tier caps on invoices/users
  • โˆ’ Construction is a general profile, not a deep contracting ERP

Egypt note

Explicitly "fully integrated with the ETA e-invoice system" โ€” supports the official e-signature/digital stamp and GS1 codes and auto-calculates 14% VAT. Note the USD pricing carries FX exposure for an EGP-earning business.

Typical Egypt pricing: Basic $20/mo, Advanced ~$41/mo, Premium $50/mo (USD); 14-day trial.
