Our verdict

Built for sales teams that need a CRM with room to add automation, forecasting and AI as they grow, and can pay per user. Skip it if you are a very small team that just needs contacts and a pipeline at low cost.

What it does well

  • Five paid tiers from Starter to Max, so it can grow with a team
  • Free trial offered on Starter, Pro, Core and Advanced
  • Higher plans add forecasting, quoting, Slack and AI sales agents

Where it falls short

  • Pro Suite costs $100 USD/User/Month and Core $195, billed annually
  • Free Suite is capped at two users and 100 emails per month
  • Top plans cost $395 and $550 USD/User/Month
