Lime CRM Pricing Explained (2026)
Lime CRM runs €55 to €170 per user per month — three times the price of a mainstream sales CRM, because it is sold as an implemented industry solution rather than as software.
| Plan | Price | Billing | What you get |
|---|---|---|---|
| Start | €55/user/mo | per user, per month | Core CRM: contact and company management, deals, activities, calendar and email integration, standard reporting |
| Business | €95/user/mo | per user, per month | Everything in Start plus expanded automation, deeper integrations and broader module access |
| Enterprise | €170/user/mo | per user, per month | Full platform capability, advanced configuration and enterprise-grade controls |
| Customize | Custom quote | individually priced | Bespoke configuration and vertical solution build for specific industry requirements |
The price reflects a different purchase
Lime CRM lists at €55 per user per month for Start, €95 for Business and €170 for Enterprise, with a Customize option quoted individually.
Against Pipedrive, Pipeline CRM or Teamgate — all in the €25 to €50 range — those numbers look extreme. Against Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics with a partner implementation, they are ordinary.
The second comparison is the right one. Lime is sold as an implemented industry solution, delivered with consulting, not as software you sign up for on a Tuesday afternoon.
What the vertical model buys
Lime's real product is not a generic CRM with a high price. It is a set of pre-built domain models for specific industries — property management, utilities, wholesale, professional services, membership organisations — that arrive already shaped like the business.
For a property management company, that means the data model already understands buildings, tenancies and maintenance requests. Nobody spends three months configuring custom objects to approximate them.
That is where €95 a user is justified: not in feature count, but in configuration avoided. A generic CRM at €30 plus four months of consultancy to make it fit is more expensive and later.
Outside those verticals, the calculation weakens considerably. A general B2B sales team buying Lime is paying vertical-solution rates for a capable but unexceptional CRM.
Implementation is the missing half of the price
No per-user figure captures what a Lime deployment costs to stand up.
Data migration from whatever came before. Integration with ERP, finance or industry systems. Configuration of the vertical model to your specifics. Training. For most mid-market deployments this is a project measured in months, delivered by Lime or a partner.
The practical instruction is simple: get a fixed-scope implementation quote at the same time as the licence quote, and treat the sum as the price. First-year total cost for a thirty-user deployment is frequently double the licence line.
Vendors who sell this way are not being evasive — implementation genuinely varies by scope. But a buyer who budgets €95 times thirty users times twelve months and stops there will be wrong by a large margin.
The tier gap needs a conversation
| Tier | Per user/month | 30 users/year |
|---|---|---|
| Start | €55 | €19,800 |
| Business | €95 | €34,200 |
| Enterprise | €170 | €61,200 |
Business to Enterprise is a 79% increase — €27,000 a year on thirty users — and the public feature descriptions are not granular enough to judge whether you need it.
That is inherent to a partner-led sales model, and it means the tier decision happens in a scoping conversation rather than on a website. Go into it with a written list of the capabilities you actually require, so the tier is chosen against requirements rather than against a demo.
Currency exposure is real for non-eurozone buyers
Rates are quoted in euros. For UK, Nordic non-euro, or dollar-based buyers on a multi-year agreement, exchange movement is a genuine cost variable.
Ask whether the contract can be denominated in your own currency, or whether a rate is fixed for the term. It is a small conversation that can matter more than a tier discount over three years.
Who it competes with
Lime's natural competitive set is Microsoft Dynamics 365, Salesforce with a partner implementation, and regional vertical CRMs — particularly across the Nordics and northern Europe where Lime is strongest.
Against those, €95 a user is reasonable and the vertical head start is a genuine advantage. Lime's smaller scale relative to the majors cuts both ways: less ecosystem and a smaller hiring pool, but a materially more attentive vendor relationship and faster access to people who can actually change things.
Against self-serve CRMs it will always lose on price, and buyers comparing that way have usually misidentified what they are buying.
Who should buy it
Mid-market European businesses in Lime's core verticals — property management, utilities, wholesale, professional services, membership organisations — who want a CRM that arrives already shaped like their industry and are prepared to fund an implementation. For that buyer the vertical model is worth the premium and Business at €95 is fair.
It suits badly general B2B sales teams outside those verticals, who will pay implemented-solution rates for functionality available at a third of the price, and any organisation budgeting from the licence figure alone. Check lime-technologies.com for current rates and insist on an implementation quote alongside the licence.
What the pricing page doesn't show
- Implementation is a separate and often substantial cost. Lime is sold as an implemented industry solution — configuration, data migration, integration and training are project work, and for mid-market deployments they routinely rival or exceed the first year of licensing.
- Pricing is in euros. Non-eurozone buyers carry exchange-rate exposure across a multi-year contract, and the sterling or dollar equivalent will move.
- The gap between Business at €95 and Enterprise at €170 is 79% per user with no published feature breakdown detailed enough to judge it from outside — the tier decision effectively requires a sales conversation.
- Lime's strength is vertical modules for specific industries. Those add-on solutions are priced within the engagement rather than on the public rate card, so the tier price is a floor, not a total.
- There is no published free tier or self-serve trial. Every evaluation runs through Lime or a partner, which lengthens procurement compared with self-serve competitors.
