How we picked
We took the lowest paid plan from each vendor's pricing page on 11 November 2026 and multiplied it by 1, 5 and 10 users on annual billing. Seat minimums, per-account pricing and record caps are applied as the vendor states them. The eight picks are the lowest prices with a usable pipeline; the table covers 14 products.
We compared prices and limits. We have not run these plans side by side.

Where the bill grows
The second plan. The step up is larger than the entry price suggests. Pipedrive goes from $14 to $39 a seat for email sync and automation. Freshsales goes from $9 to $39. Twenty goes from $9 to $39 for SSO. Price the plan you will be on in six months.
Monthly billing. OnePageCRM costs 51 percent more on monthly billing, Pipedrive Lite 71 percent more.
Caps. A free or entry plan that caps contacts at 250 or leads at 500 lasts weeks for a team that imports a customer list.
Paid CRMs with a low total at 10 users. Attio Plus costs $355 a month for 10 users and HubSpot Sales Hub Professional $900 plus $1,500 onboarding. They are outside this list for that reason.
How to choose
- One or two people, no budget → Zoho CRM or Attio on the free plan.
- Up to 10 people, lowest bill → Bigin Express.
- 10 to 50 people, one flat invoice → Bitrix24 Standard at $99 a month.
- You have a developer and a server → Twenty, self-hosted.
- You want one price and no plan decisions → Less Annoying CRM.

Before you buy
List the three things the team does in a CRM every day and check that the entry plan includes each one. Then multiply the plan you will need in a year by the headcount you expect in a year. The cheapest CRM is the one with the lowest bill at that point.
