The three products give business buyers more than one login, but the underlying models differ. SoftwareSilo extends a Magento customer with subaccounts. Amasty and Aheadworks create company-account structures with company data and users.

SoftwareSilo's practical difference
SoftwareSilo starts with the customer account already used for prices, tax, orders, and ERP references. Its base module has unusually detailed address behavior and per-user checkout restrictions. Roles, budgets, approvals, catalogs, and APIs remain optional.
That modularity is useful when one merchant needs simple employee logins and another needs a purchasing hierarchy. The commercial downside is equally clear: a broad deployment may require several add-ons.
Amasty's practical difference
Amasty presents a complete company-account experience with registration, company details, employees, roles, related companies, order review, payment restrictions, and ecosystem integrations. Its documentation also identifies functionality tied to subscriptions, support, or suggested composer packages.
It can be a good fit when the company itself should be a first-class storefront entity and the merchant already uses Amasty B2B products.
Aheadworks' practical difference
Aheadworks combines company accounts, roles, domains, company hierarchy, imports, API support, and a long list of integrations with its B2B extensions. Automatic association through company email domains is a distinctive workflow for organizations with controlled domains.
The surrounding ecosystem is a strength when those products are planned. If they are not, compare the core Company Accounts scope separately.
How to decide
Map one real customer: head office, branches, buyers, approvers, addresses, payment methods, and ERP identifiers. Then configure that same organization in each demo. The clearest product is the one whose records and permissions match the business without hidden synchronization work.
