The Czech business software market has matured considerably over the past few years. International SaaS tools are now widely adopted, but choosing the right ones requires understanding which platforms offer Czech language support, GDPR-compliant data handling, and sensible pricing in CZK or EUR. This guide covers the tools we recommend across the most important business categories.
This guide is updated regularly. Prices and features change frequently, so always verify current details on the vendor's website before making a purchase decision.
Project Management
Notion — Best for Knowledge Workers
Notion combines notes, databases, and project boards in one flexible workspace. It is particularly strong for documentation and internal wikis. The free plan is genuinely useful for individuals and small teams. The main drawback for Czech users is the lack of a Czech interface. Read our full Notion review.
Best for: Startups, agencies, freelancers, teams comfortable with English.
Asana — Best for Structured Project Teams
Asana is a dedicated project management tool with strong task assignment, dependency tracking, and reporting features. It is more structured than Notion and better suited to teams running multiple parallel projects. Asana has a Czech-language interface and is widely used in Czech companies. Pricing starts at around $10.99 per user per month for the Premium plan. More information is available on the Asana website.
Best for: Teams managing complex projects with multiple stakeholders.
Trello — Best Free Option for Simple Workflows
Trello's kanban-style boards are easy to understand and free for basic use. It lacks the depth of Asana or Notion for complex projects, but for teams that need a simple visual task board, it is hard to beat. Owned by Atlassian, it integrates well with Jira and Confluence.
Best for: Small teams, simple workflows, visual thinkers.
Team Communication
Microsoft Teams — Best for Microsoft 365 Users
If your organisation already uses Microsoft 365, Teams is the natural choice. It has full Czech language support, integrates deeply with Office apps, and includes solid video conferencing. See our Slack vs Teams comparison.
Best for: Enterprises, public sector, companies already on Microsoft 365.
Slack — Best for Tech Teams
Slack offers a cleaner interface and broader integration ecosystem than Teams. It is the preferred choice in Czech tech companies and startups. The lack of a Czech interface is its main limitation for broader adoption.
Best for: Tech companies, startups, international teams.
Cloud Storage and File Management
Google Workspace — Best Overall Value
Google Workspace (formerly G Suite) bundles Gmail, Drive, Docs, Sheets, and Meet into a single subscription starting at $6 per user per month. It is widely used by Czech SMEs and offers good GDPR compliance with EU data storage options. The Czech interface is available throughout. See Google Workspace pricing for current plans.
Best for: SMEs, companies wanting to move away from Microsoft, remote teams.
Microsoft OneDrive / SharePoint
For companies already on Microsoft 365, OneDrive and SharePoint provide integrated file storage and collaboration. SharePoint is particularly powerful for building internal intranets and document management systems, though it requires more setup and administration than Google Drive.
Best for: Enterprises, companies with complex document management needs.
CRM and Sales
HubSpot CRM — Best Free CRM
HubSpot's free CRM is genuinely capable and widely used by Czech SMEs. It covers contact management, deal pipelines, email tracking, and basic reporting. Paid plans add marketing automation and advanced features. HubSpot has Czech language support in parts of the interface. More details on the HubSpot CRM page.
Best for: SMEs, sales teams, companies starting with CRM.
Pipedrive — Best for Sales-Focused Teams
Pipedrive is a sales-focused CRM with a clean pipeline view and strong automation features. It is popular among Czech sales teams and has a Czech-language interface. Pricing starts at $14.90 per user per month.
Best for: Sales teams, companies with active outbound sales processes.
Accounting and Finance
Pohoda — Best Czech Accounting Software
For Czech-specific accounting needs, Pohoda by Stormware is the market leader. It handles Czech tax requirements, VAT reporting, and payroll in full compliance with Czech law. While not a SaaS tool in the traditional sense (it runs locally), it is the standard for Czech SME accounting. Available from Stormware.
Best for: Any Czech business needing compliant local accounting.
Fakturoid — Best Cloud Invoicing
Fakturoid is a Czech-developed cloud invoicing and accounting tool that has gained significant traction among freelancers and small businesses. It handles Czech invoicing requirements natively, integrates with Czech banks, and is available entirely in Czech. Pricing starts at around 330 CZK per month.
Best for: Freelancers, small businesses, companies wanting a modern cloud accounting experience.
Key Considerations for Czech Businesses
GDPR Compliance
All businesses operating in the Czech Republic must comply with GDPR. When selecting SaaS tools, verify that the vendor offers a Data Processing Agreement (DPA), stores EU customer data in the EU (or provides adequate safeguards), and has clear data deletion procedures. Most major international vendors now offer GDPR-compliant options, but you should always check before signing up.
Czech Language Support
While many Czech professionals work comfortably in English, having a Czech-language interface significantly improves adoption across your organisation. Tools with Czech support include Microsoft Teams, Asana, Pipedrive, and all Czech-developed software. Tools without Czech support include Slack, Notion, and many specialised SaaS platforms.
Pricing in CZK
Most international SaaS tools price in USD or EUR. When budgeting, account for currency fluctuations and the fact that Czech VAT (21%) will be added to international purchases. Some vendors allow payment in EUR, which can simplify accounting. Czech-developed tools like Fakturoid and Pohoda price in CZK and include Czech VAT in their published prices.
