Read the fine print
"Free" CRMs that aren't quite free
- Streak: the free plan is Gmail email tools; its own FAQ says it doesn't include CRM pipelines. Pro is $49 per user a month yearly.
- Trials, not free plans: monday CRM, Pipedrive, Less Annoying CRM, Insightly and Apptivo offer free trials, then require a paid plan.
- Free with conditions: Salesforce's Free Suite ends if nobody logs in for 60 days, and Odoo's free plan becomes paid the moment you add a second app.
- Free but capped where it hurts: Zoho's free edition has no custom fields and allows 10 data exports; Capsule stops at 250 contacts.
Common questions
What is the best free CRM for a small business?
For 2 or 3 people, HubSpot (2 users, 1,000 contacts), Zoho CRM (3 users, 5,000 records) and Freshsales (3 users, with a built-in phone) are the strongest free plans. Agile CRM allows the most users, 10, but only 1,000 contacts. AttackDesk has no monthly fee to start and no per-user fee.
Is there a free CRM with unlimited users?
Odoo's hosted free plan allows unlimited users on one app, such as CRM. Self-hosted open-source CRMs like Twenty and EspoCRM have no seat limits, but you run the server yourself.
Can I stay on a free CRM forever?
Most free plans have no end date, but some have conditions: Salesforce's Free Suite requires a login at least every 60 days. Plan for the limit you'll hit first, usually contacts or users.
Is a spreadsheet a free CRM?
It can hold your customer list, but it won't remind you to follow up or log calls and texts. See whether Excel counts as a CRM, or compare all 18 CRM examples with prices.
