Small Business CRM: 12 Tools Compared by Real Cost, Contact Limits & Tradeoffs

Most "best small business CRM" lists are written by people who never opened a paid invoice. They list 15 tools with a vague "starts at $X/user" and call it a comparison.

This is not that.

I pulled live pricing from every vendor's pricing page in May 2026, calculated real cost at 5, 10, and 25 seats, and named the contact-tier traps that turn a "free" CRM into a $400/month line item the day your list crosses 1,000 records. I also include the trade-offs every vendor's marketing page hides: Salesforce Starter's 10-user cliff. Keap's mandatory $500-$1,500 implementation fee. Monday's seat-bucket trap. HubSpot's September 2024 grandfathering cutoff that quietly capped new free accounts at 1,000 contacts.

If you are a 1-25 person business choosing your first CRM (or replacing one that started cheap and got expensive), this is the page.

What Actually Costs You at 5, 10, and 25 Seats (the Math Most Articles Skip)

The "starts at $14/user" framing collapses the moment you load a real team. Per-seat CRMs scale linearly. Flat-fee CRMs (Agiled, certain Keap tiers) flatten the curve. Some tools impose hidden cliffs (Salesforce Starter's 10-user wall, Monday's seat buckets) that are invisible until you cross them.

The takeaway: at 25 seats, Agiled costs $135/mo. Salesforce Starter at the same headcount has already forced you onto Pro Suite at $2,500/mo. That's a 18x difference for teams in the same size bracket. Pure CRMs are not always more expensive than all-in-ones - but the per-seat model punishes growing teams unless you pick the right tier.

1. HubSpot CRM - The Default Free Choice (with a 1,000-Contact Wall)

Verified pricing: Free CRM (2 users, 1,000 marketing contacts), Sales Hub Starter at $15/seat/mo annual ($20 monthly), Sales Hub Professional at $90/seat/mo. Source: HubSpot Sales Pricing.

HubSpot is on every list because the free plan is genuinely useful: contact and company records, deal pipelines, email tracking, meeting scheduler, basic reporting, and unlimited users on the core CRM. For a team that just needs to stop tracking deals in a spreadsheet, the free tier is hard to beat.

The trap nobody mentions: In September 2024, HubSpot quietly changed the free plan terms. Free accounts created before that date kept their grandfathered 1,000,000-contact limit. Every account opened after that is capped at 1,000 marketing contacts. You can store more contacts as "non-marketing," but the moment you want to email or run a campaign to them, you hit a wall that pushes you toward Marketing Hub Starter at $20/seat/mo (with contact-tier increases as you grow).

Standout features: The unified contact timeline (every email, call, meeting, and note in one view) is best-in-class. Native email tracking and templates are included free. The HubSpot Academy makes onboarding non-technical reps far easier than Salesforce or Zoho.

Honest weaknesses: Sales Hub Starter at $15/seat sounds cheap until you realize sequences (cold outreach automation) require Sales Hub Professional at $90/seat/mo. Marketing Hub pricing scales aggressively with contact count - a 5,000-contact list on Marketing Hub Professional costs roughly $890/mo. HubSpot's "free" pitch works until you outgrow it, and then it gets expensive faster than competitors.

Best for: Inbound-led startups under 1,000 marketing contacts with a 2-3 person sales team and a willingness to pay for the platform once they grow.

2. Zoho Bigin - The Cheapest Real CRM Under $10/User

Verified pricing: Free (1 user, 500 records), Express at $9/user/mo annual, Premier at $15/user/mo, Bigin 360 at $21/user/mo. Source: Bigin pricing.

Bigin is Zoho's "pipeline-centric" CRM built for small businesses who found Zoho CRM too heavy. It is the cheapest fully-featured CRM on this list at $9/user/mo, and it includes things HubSpot makes you pay for: WhatsApp integration, telephony, email-in/out, and a real mobile app.

Standout features: Multi-pipeline support on Express (3 pipelines for $9/user is unmatched). Built-in telephony and toll-free numbers. Native integrations with the broader Zoho suite (Books, Inventory, Desk) so a small business can run on one bill if they go all-in.

Honest weaknesses: Reporting is shallow compared to Pipedrive and HubSpot. The free plan caps at 500 records and one user, which makes it more of a trial than a real free tier. If you need custom modules or advanced workflow rules, you'll outgrow Bigin and have to migrate to full Zoho CRM (which is a real export/import job, not a one-click upgrade despite the marketing).

Best for: Solo consultants, agencies under 15 people, and teams who want a real CRM without paying $15-25/user.

3. Zoho CRM - Customization Power Without Enterprise Pricing

Verified pricing (annual billing, May 2026): Standard at $14/user/mo, Professional at $23/user/mo, Enterprise at $40/user/mo, Ultimate at $52/user/mo. Free plan available for up to 3 users with 5,000 records. Source: Zoho CRM pricing.

Where Bigin is intentionally simple, Zoho CRM is intentionally configurable. Custom modules, custom fields by tier (10 on Standard, hundreds on Professional+), workflow rules, blueprint approval flows, and Zia (Zoho's AI assistant) on Enterprise. For small teams that want to encode their actual sales process - not adapt to someone else's pipeline - Zoho is the value champion.

Standout features: Free plan is real (3 users, 5,000 records, basic automation, mobile apps). Custom modules let you track non-standard objects (properties, projects, equipment) without a Salesforce-tier bill. Multi-channel: email, phone, social, live chat - all in one record.

Honest weaknesses: UI feels like 2018 next to Pipedrive and Attio. Onboarding without an implementation partner is painful for non-technical teams - the platform's flexibility means you face real configuration decisions on day one. Zoho's upsell across 40+ products can become a tangled bill if you're not careful.

Best for: B2B teams of 5-25 with a defined sales process they want to enforce in software, or businesses already using Zoho Books / Desk / Projects.

4. Pipedrive - The Pipeline-First CRM Salespeople Actually Use

Verified pricing (May 2026, annual billing): Lite at $14/seat/mo, Growth at $24.90/seat/mo, Premium at $49.90/seat/mo, Ultimate at $79/seat/mo. No free plan - 14-day trial only. Source: Pipedrive pricing.

Pipedrive is the cleanest pure-pipeline CRM in the small-business segment. The drag-and-drop pipeline view is the entire interface, not an afterthought. Sales reps who refuse to use HubSpot or Salesforce will use Pipedrive because the friction is low.

Standout features: Activity-based selling (the system actively prompts the next call/email/task based on deal stage). LeadBooster add-on includes a chatbot, web forms, and a prospector tool. Strong mobile app with full offline access. Automation builder is genuinely usable on Growth ($24.90).

Honest weaknesses: No free plan. Lite ($14) does not include workflow automation - you need Growth ($24.90) to get any. Add-ons are billed per company, not per user, which sounds nice until you read the fine print: LeadBooster is $32.50/mo flat, Smart Docs is $32.50/mo flat, Web Visitors is $41/mo flat. A 5-seat team on Growth + LeadBooster + Smart Docs is $124.50 + $65 = $189.50/mo.

Best for: Outbound sales teams of 3-25 people who live in the pipeline view and need clean activity tracking.

5. Less Annoying CRM - The Flat-Fee Antidote to Tier Madness

Verified pricing: $15/user/mo flat. Every feature included. No tiers, no add-ons, no annual billing discount. 30-day free trial. Source: Less Annoying CRM pricing.

Less Annoying CRM is exactly what it says: the boring, predictable, mid-2010s-era CRM that does contacts, calendar, simple pipelines, and tasks - and stops there. There is one plan. Everything is included. There are no upsells.

Standout features: Pricing is the feature. A 5-person team pays $75/mo flat, forever, with every feature unlocked. Customer support is genuinely included (phone and email, no upsell). Their data export is one button - if you ever leave, you leave clean.

Honest weaknesses: No native marketing automation. No email sequences. No advanced reporting (the dashboard is basic). The UI is functional, not beautiful. If you need a CRM that doubles as a marketing platform, this is not it.

Best for: Solo professionals, micro-businesses (under 10 people), and anyone who has been burned by a CRM's contact-tier pricing and wants to never think about it again. Reddit's r/smallbusiness gives this CRM more honest praise than any other on the list.

6. Capsule CRM - Light-Touch CRM with a Painful Free Cap

Verified pricing: Free (2 users, 250 contacts), Starter at $18/user/mo (30,000 contacts), Growth at $36/user/mo (60,000 contacts), Advanced at $54/user/mo (120,000 contacts). Source: Capsule CRM pricing.

Capsule is the British-built, design-forward small business CRM that focuses on contact management and a single pipeline. The free plan looks attractive until you read the contact limit: 250 contacts. For most B2B businesses, you hit that cap inside the first month of import.

Standout features: The cleanest contact view of any CRM on this list - it actually shows you the human, not a marketing dashboard. Mailchimp, Xero, and QuickBooks Online integrations are first-class. The mobile app is excellent.

Honest weaknesses: The 250-contact free cap is the most aggressive on this list. Going from free to Starter is a $216/year bump per user just to import a normal contact list. Reporting is basic on Starter; you need Growth ($36) for real analytics. There is no native email sequencing.

Best for: Service businesses (consultants, accountants, agencies) under 30,000 contacts who value clean UI over feature depth.

7. Freshsales (Freshworks CRM) - Phone-Heavy Inbound Sales

Verified pricing (May 2026): Free (3 users, basic), Growth at $11/user/mo annual, Pro at $47/user/mo, Enterprise at $71/user/mo. Source: Freshsales pricing.

Freshsales is the small-business cousin of Freshworks' broader suite (Freshdesk, Freshchat). It bundles built-in phone, live chat, email, and AI scoring (Freddy AI) into the lower tiers. For inbound or phone-heavy SMB sales operations, the value is real.

Standout features: Built-in cloud telephony with toll-free and local numbers (other CRMs charge $20-40/user/mo extra for this). AI contact scoring on Growth. Native chat and chatbot bundled into a CRM at $11/user is rare.

Honest weaknesses: The free plan is intentionally crippled - no reports, no pipeline view in deals, only a Kanban view. Most automation requires Pro at $47/user/mo, which is a 4x jump. Customer support quality has dropped according to recent G2 reviews.

Best for: Small inbound sales teams that need phone + chat + CRM in one bill, especially in markets where Freshworks has a customer-success presence.

8. Salesforce Starter Suite - The Trojan Horse for Future Salesforce Customers

Verified pricing: Starter Suite at $25/user/mo, Pro Suite at $100/user/mo, Sales Cloud Enterprise at $165/user/mo. Source: Salesforce small business pricing.

Starter Suite is Salesforce's attempt to compete at the SMB tier without cannibalizing their enterprise pricing. It bundles Sales, Service, and Marketing into one $25/user/mo plan with no hidden user minimum.

The cliff most articles miss: Starter Suite is hard-capped at 10 users. When you hit user 11, your only path forward is Pro Suite at $100/user/mo - a 4x price jump. A 15-person team that started at $25/user ($375/mo) becomes a 15-person team at $100/user ($1,500/mo) the moment they cross the cap. Plan accordingly.

Standout features: It is a real Salesforce account. Your data, customizations, and Flow automations carry over to Sales Cloud Enterprise if you grow. Includes Slack at no extra charge. Native marketing email is decent at this tier.

Honest weaknesses: The 10-user cap. Limited customization (no Apex, no advanced flows on Starter). Reporting is heavily restricted compared to Sales Cloud. If you don't plan to grow into the broader Salesforce platform, you're paying a premium for the brand.

Best for: Startups planning to scale past 25 employees who want their CRM to come along. If your ceiling is 10 people, pick something cheaper.

9. Monday CRM - Visual Pipelines with a Seat-Bucket Trap

Verified pricing (May 2026, annual billing): Basic CRM at $12/seat/mo, Standard CRM at $17/seat/mo, Pro CRM at $28/seat/mo, Enterprise at custom. Source: Monday CRM pricing.

Monday CRM is the project-management-platform-turned-CRM, and it shines for teams already using Monday for operations. The visual board interface is genuinely faster for small teams than traditional CRM grid views.

The seat-bucket trap: Monday sells seats in predefined buckets: 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40, 50+. There is also a 3-seat minimum on every paid plan. A 6-person team pays for a 10-seat bucket. An 11-person team pays for a 15-seat bucket. This is invisible until checkout. A 7-person team on Basic pays $120/mo (10 seats × $12), not $84/mo (7 × $12).

Standout features: Visual board UI is best-in-class for teams that think in projects, not pipelines. Workflow automation is genuinely powerful even on Basic. Tight integration with Monday Work Management if you're already in the ecosystem.

Honest weaknesses: Seat-bucket pricing makes 4-9 person teams overpay by 25-66%. Email sync, integrations, and automations are heavily gated by tier. The CRM is built on a generic project-management foundation - features sales reps expect (sequences, dialer, lead scoring) are absent or weak.

Best for: 3, 5, 10, 15, or 25-person teams (sized to a seat bucket) already using Monday for operations.

10. Insightly - Project Management Meets CRM for Service Businesses

Verified pricing (May 2026): Free (2 users, 2,500 records), Plus at $29/user/mo annual, Professional at $49/user/mo, Enterprise at $99/user/mo. Source: Insightly pricing.

Insightly is the rare CRM that takes project management seriously. For service businesses that hand a closed deal off to a delivery team (agencies, consultancies, implementation shops), the deal-to-project conversion is built in.

Standout features: Native project management linked to CRM records (no Zapier required). AppConnect automation on Professional is a full iPaaS. The free plan with 2,500 records is one of the most generous on this list for very small teams.

Honest weaknesses: Marketing requires the separate Insightly Marketing add-on starting at $99/mo flat on top of CRM. Plus at $29/user is a steep entry compared to Bigin ($9) or HubSpot Free. UI is dated. Reporting is solid but not best-in-class.

Best for: Service businesses (5-25 people) that need to track deals, projects, and post-sale work in one tool.

11. Keap - Email Automation for Service Businesses That Have Outgrown Spreadsheets

Verified pricing (May 2026): $249/mo annual (or $299 monthly) for 2 users and 1,500 contacts. Additional users at $39/user/mo. Contact pricing scales progressively with list size. Mandatory $500-$1,500 implementation fee. Source: Keap pricing.

Keap (formerly Infusionsoft) is the heaviest small-business CRM on this list. It bundles CRM, email marketing, sales pipeline, e-commerce, and automation into one platform. For service businesses doing serious email marketing, it consolidates 4-5 tools into one bill.

Standout features: Best-in-class small-business email automation with visual campaign builder. Native invoicing and payment processing. Lead capture forms and landing pages included. Onboarding is mandatory because the platform is genuinely deep.

Honest weaknesses: $249/mo is the entry, not the average bill. Contact pricing scales upward as your list grows (the opposite of volume discounts). The mandatory $500-$1,500 implementation fee is non-negotiable on new accounts. 56% of Capterra reviewers call it too expensive. Migration off Keap is a known pain point because of the deeply-coupled automation logic.

Best for: Coaches, consultants, and service businesses with $500K+ revenue that are sending heavy email automation today and want to consolidate platforms.

12. Agiled - All-in-One CRM + Invoicing + Contracts for Solo and Small Agencies

Verified pricing: Free (1 user, 100 contacts, 2 clients), Pro at $25/mo flat (3 users), Premium at $49/mo flat (7 users), Business at $83/mo flat (15 users). Additional users at $5/user/mo, up to 30. Source: Agiled pricing.

Agiled is the all-in-one platform - CRM, invoicing, projects, contracts, proposals, time tracking, and a client portal in one tool with one bill. It is not a pure CRM, and that is the trade-off you need to understand.

Where it wins: A solo consultant or 5-person agency using Pipedrive ($14) + QuickBooks ($30) + DocuSign ($15) + Asana ($11) + a client portal ($20) is paying $90+/user/month across 5 tools that need Zapier glue. Agiled at $25/mo flat for 3 users replaces all of them. At 10 users, Agiled costs $60/mo. The same stack across 10 users on per-seat pricing easily breaks $900/mo.

Standout features: Built-in client portal where clients see their invoices, contracts, and project status without a separate seat. Native invoicing with Stripe/PayPal. Contracts with e-signature included. Pipelines, custom fields, and basic automation come with the CRM module.

Honest weaknesses: It is not a pure CRM. If you need email sequences, lead scoring, or a sales-engagement platform, Agiled is not the deepest option (Pipedrive and HubSpot win on pure-sales workflows). Reporting is functional, not exceptional. The 30-user cap on standard plans is a real ceiling for fast-growing teams.

Best for: Solo consultants, freelancers, agencies (1-15 people), and service businesses where the CRM is one of five things you need software for - not the only thing. Try Agiled free at agiled.app.

What Happens When You Outgrow Your Free CRM

Every CRM on this list except Less Annoying, Pipedrive, and Salesforce Starter has a free tier. Free tiers exist to acquire you, and they all end the same way: you hit a cap, you upgrade, you forget what "free" cost in switching friction.

Here is the actual upgrade path for the most common free CRMs:

The decision rule: if your contact list is growing 100+ records/month, the free CRM you pick today will become a paid CRM within a year. Pick the free plan whose paid tier you will not regret. Capsule's 250-cap is fine if you'll happily pay $18/user. HubSpot's 1,000-marketing-contact cap is fine if you'll happily pay $20/seat for Marketing Hub plus rising tiers.

Original Research: Real Cost-Per-Contact at 5,000 Records

Most CRM comparison articles stop at "starts at $X/user." They never tell you what 5,000 contacts actually costs across vendors at the same team size. We modeled a 5-person sales team with a 5,000-contact list, all on annual billing, paid plans (no free tiers), and calculated the real monthly cost as of May 2026.

Methodology: prices pulled from each vendor's pricing page on May 2, 2026. 5-seat assumption with annual billing. Marketing add-ons included where the base CRM does not handle email marketing to 5,000 contacts. Implementation fees excluded except where mandatory (Keap).

The headline finding: the spread between cheapest-real-CRM (Bigin at $45) and most-expensive (Keap at $300+) is 6.7x for the same headcount and contact volume. The single biggest cost driver is whether your CRM forces a separate marketing-tier upgrade once your contact list grows. Bundled platforms (Agiled, Keap, Insightly with marketing add-on) flatten this curve for service businesses; pure CRMs (Pipedrive, Less Annoying, Capsule) require external email tools that add 30-50% to total CRM stack cost.

When a CRM Is Not For You (The "Not For You" Block)

Most articles never tell you this part. Here are the small-business scenarios where buying any CRM is the wrong move.

You have under 50 contacts and one salesperson (you). A spreadsheet plus your inbox is faster. A CRM creates data-entry overhead you will not maintain. Wait until you have a real pipeline of 50+ active deals.

You sell one-time, low-touch transactions (e-commerce, retail). Your "CRM" is your e-commerce platform's customer database (Shopify, WooCommerce). A standalone CRM duplicates data without adding value.

You have not defined your sales stages yet. Buying Salesforce or HubSpot before you know what "qualified lead" means in your business is putting the cart before the horse. Map your sales stages on paper first. Then pick a tool that fits.

Your team will not adopt it. A CRM nobody updates is a $1,000/month spreadsheet. If you cannot get your reps to log calls now, no software will fix that. Address the management problem first.

You need an ERP, not a CRM. Inventory, manufacturing, and complex accounting belong in NetSuite, Odoo, or QuickBooks Enterprise. Trying to make a CRM track inventory leads to expensive customization and eventual rebuilds.

If any of the above is you, save the $1,000-$5,000/year. Revisit in 6 months when your business has shape.

How to Pick: A 60-Second Decision Tree

1. Solo or under 3 people, want forever-free? HubSpot Free or Zoho Bigin Free.
2. Under 10 people, want flat predictable pricing? Less Annoying CRM ($15/user flat) or Agiled ($25/mo flat for 3 users) if you also need invoicing/contracts.
3. 3-25 person sales team, pure pipeline focus? Pipedrive Growth ($24.90/seat) or Zoho Bigin Premier ($15/user).
4. Service business needing CRM + projects + invoicing + contracts in one tool? Agiled ($25-$83/mo flat) or Insightly ($29/user) if you need a deeper PM module.
5. Email-marketing-heavy service business with $500K+ revenue? Keap, but budget $500-$1,500 for implementation.
6. Customization-heavy B2B sales process? Zoho CRM Professional ($23/user).
7. Already on Monday for operations? Monday CRM, but only if your team rounds to a seat bucket (3, 5, 10, 15, 25).
8. Plan to grow into Salesforce eventually? Salesforce Starter, but watch the 10-user cap.

FAQ: Small Business CRM Questions Answered

What is the cheapest CRM for small business?

The cheapest real CRMs for small business in May 2026 are: Zoho Bigin Express at $9/user/mo, Freshsales Growth at $11/user/mo, Monday CRM Basic at $12/seat/mo (with 3-seat minimum), and Pipedrive Lite at $14/seat/mo annual. The cheapest forever-free options with real functionality are HubSpot CRM (free for 2 users, 1,000 marketing contacts) and Zoho CRM (free for 3 users, 5,000 records). Less Annoying CRM at $15/user/mo flat is the cheapest fully-featured CRM with no tier upsells.

Do small businesses need a CRM?

A small business needs a CRM once it has more than 50 active deals or contacts that require follow-up, or more than one person who needs to see the same customer history. Below that threshold, a spreadsheet plus your inbox usually wins. The signal you are ready: you have lost a deal in the last 90 days because someone forgot to follow up, or because two team members called the same prospect.

Free vs. paid CRM for small business: which is better?

Free CRMs are excellent for teams under 1,000 contacts and 2-3 users. HubSpot Free, Zoho CRM Free, and Capsule Free all offer real CRM functionality with no time limit. Paid CRMs become worth it when you need email sequences (Pipedrive Growth, HubSpot Sales Starter), advanced automation (Zoho Professional, Freshsales Pro), or your free plan's contact cap is forcing your hand. The most common upgrade trigger is HubSpot's 1,000 marketing contact cap or Capsule's 250 contact cap.

What's the difference between a CRM and an all-in-one platform like Agiled?

A pure CRM (Pipedrive, Salesforce, HubSpot) focuses on deals, contacts, and the sales pipeline. An all-in-one platform like Agiled bundles CRM with invoicing, projects, contracts, proposals, time tracking, and a client portal. The trade-off: pure CRMs go deeper on sales workflows (sequences, lead scoring, dialer integrations); all-in-ones go wider, replacing 4-6 tools at lower total cost. For service businesses (agencies, consultants, freelancers) where CRM is one of many tools, an all-in-one usually wins on total cost. For dedicated outbound sales teams, a pure CRM wins on workflow depth.

How long does it take to implement a CRM?

For pure CRMs (Less Annoying, Capsule, Pipedrive, Zoho Bigin), most small businesses are up and running in 1-3 days: import contacts from CSV, define pipeline stages, configure deal fields, train the team. For mid-tier platforms (Zoho CRM, HubSpot Sales Starter, Salesforce Starter), expect 1-2 weeks of part-time work to configure custom fields, integrations, and reports. For Keap, expect 4-8 weeks - the mandatory $500-$1,500 implementation fee reflects this. For Insightly with the Marketing add-on, expect 2-4 weeks.

What contract length do small business CRMs require?

Most small-business CRMs offer month-to-month billing as an option, with a 15-30% discount for annual prepayment. Less Annoying CRM is month-to-month only with no discount. Pipedrive, HubSpot, Zoho, Capsule, Freshsales, Insightly, Monday, and Agiled all offer both month-to-month and annual billing. Salesforce Starter is annual-billing only. Keap offers annual or monthly. Pre-paying annually is fine if you're confident in the tool, but always test on a monthly plan first if available.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

Every CRM on this list lets you export your data as CSV at minimum. Less Annoying CRM, Pipedrive, HubSpot, Zoho, and Capsule have one-click full exports including notes, attachments, and activity history. Salesforce data export is available but requires admin permissions. Keap exports are technically possible but the deeply-coupled automation logic does not export, which is the most common complaint among ex-Keap users on G2. Always run a test export before committing.

Is HubSpot's free CRM really free forever?

Yes, the core HubSpot CRM is genuinely free forever for up to 2 users with up to 1,000 marketing contacts (down from 1M before September 2024 for accounts created after that date). You can store more than 1,000 contacts as "non-marketing" but cannot run marketing campaigns to them without upgrading. Free includes contact records, deal pipelines, email tracking, meeting scheduler, and basic reports. It is the most generous free CRM on the market for inbound-led teams under the contact cap.

Bottom Line

The right CRM for a small business is the cheapest one whose ceiling you will not hit in 18 months.

If you are 1-3 people: HubSpot Free or Zoho Bigin Free.
If you are 3-10 people doing pure sales: Pipedrive Growth or Zoho Bigin Premier.
If you are 1-15 people running a service business: Agiled if you need invoicing and contracts; Less Annoying CRM if you only want CRM.
If you are 5-25 people with a defined sales process: Zoho CRM Professional or HubSpot Sales Starter.
If you have $500K+ revenue and live in email automation: Keap.
