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.
