Comparing CRM prices?

Less Annoying CRM has compiled the ultimate pricing guide with over 20 of the most popular CRMs on the market. Take a look to quickly compare prices and features.

What will I actually be paying per year?

Annual billing is often tempting because it offers a per user price that is slightly lower than monthly billing. However, annual billing requires you to pay for a full year either in advance, or by the end of the service year. As such, the true cost of annual billing should factor in the entire year.

The prices bolded below are the total upfront cost for a full year, for the minimum number of users for that tier.

Salesforce Starter Suite

  • $25 per user per month
  • Because you are billed annually, your minimum upfront cost is 25 x 12 = $300 (for a single user)

Salesforce Professional Suite

  • $100 per user per month
  • Because you are billed annually, your minimum upfront cost is 100 x 12 = $1,200 (for a single user)

Salesforce Cloud Enterprise

  • $165 per user per month
  • Because you are billed annually, your minimum upfront cost is 165 x 12 = $1,980 (for a single user)

Salesforce Cloud Unlimited

  • $330 per user per month
  • Because you are billed annually, your minimum upfront cost is 330 x 12 = $3,960 (for a single user)

When should I pay monthly instead of annually?

While there are many reasons why you would opt to pay monthly instead of annually (for example, the ability to switch CRMs whenever you want), one of the more straightforward reasons would be the duration of time you plan on using a CRM.

Listed below is the maximum duration of time you would need to use a CRM tier before it is more "worth it" to pay for a full year instead.

Salesforce Cloud only offers a monthly price for the Starter Suite tier, and it is the same price if you pay month-to-month or a full year in advance. As such, we'd recommend always paying month-to-month if you are opting for the Starter tier.

What are the limits on the free version of

Salesforce Cloud

?

Many CRMs offer a free version of their software with severe feature limitations. While appealing to small businesses or solopreneurs, most free versions are simply marketing tools to introduce new users to a paid tier and are not designed to be scalable.
