Switching to Rundoo

Switch from Keystroke

Keystroke advertises a low software license, but the true all-in cost shows up in the server, the remote-access software, the network hardware, and the add-on modules you need to run it. Rundoo is flat, transparent pricing, and remote access is simply built in.

Why stores switch

What stores switching from Keystroke love

Here is what owners tell us matters most when they look at Keystroke next to Rundoo.

The sticker price is not the real price. Keystroke's license can look inexpensive on its own, but running it usually means a dedicated server, remote-desktop software so you can reach it off-site, a network firewall device, and extra module licenses, which together add up to far more than the license alone. A good question to ask is simply what you are paying for your server and remote-access setup, because that is where the real cost hides.

Cloud-native, with remote access included. Keystroke is on-premise, so checking your store from home means tools like Splashtop and the hardware to support them. Rundoo lives in the browser, so remote access is included, with no extra software and no server to maintain.

Flat, transparent pricing. One all-in price with unlimited users, instead of a base license plus server hosting, remote access, network hardware, and add-on components.

Modern, with AI and the vendor groups you buy through. Rundoo is a modern interface with Rundoo AI on every screen, and we integrate with the manufacturers, distributors, and buying groups your store already works with.
