Alternatives to 1CRM

{"intro": "1CRM combines a visual sales pipeline, marketing automation, and a mobile app in one CRM. It runs across web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android. Teams can start with a free on-premise plan, or choose cloud subscriptions from $13 per user per month with annual billing, alongside month-to-month and perpetual-license options. Startup tiers limit users, accounts, contacts, and storage, while Professional and Enterprise plans remove user and account limits. A 30-day trial is available.\n\nTeams may look elsewhere when those capacity limits, platform needs, or pricing structure do not fit. Alternatives vary in starting cost, trial length, deployment options, and whether they add email synchronization, AI features, broader lead capture, or open-source access. Some support self-hosting or APIs; others narrow their platform coverage to mobile apps. Compare the user and account scale you need, how you want to host the CRM, and which sales, marketing, communication, or automation tools matter most. The right switch depends on the trade-off between 1CRM’s broad platform support and each alternative’s distinctive capabilities.", "rows": [{"ref": "sw:zoho-crm", "name": "Zoho CRM", "best_for": "Teams wanting AI and email sync", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $14/user/mo (annual); 15-day trial", "key_difference": "Zoho CRM adds email sync and AI features while matching 1CRM’s visual pipeline and marketing automation.", "choose_when": "Choose it when email synchronization and AI matter more than 1CRM’s wider desktop and Linux coverage."}, {"ref": "sw:freshsales", "name": "Freshsales", "best_for": "Lower-cost CRM with AI and mobile", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $9/user/mo (annual); 21-day trial", "key_difference": "Freshsales starts below 1CRM’s paid entry price and adds email sync, AI, and an extension.", "choose_when": "Choose it when a lower annual starting price and email, AI, or extension access outweigh 1CRM’s broader platforms."}, {"ref": "sw:eway-crm", "name": "eWay-CRM", "best_for": "Teams needing free contacts and companies", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $20/user/mo; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "eWay-CRM offers a free plan with unlimited users and email sync, while 1CRM’s free plan caps users at three.", "choose_when": "Choose it when unlimited free users and email synchronization are worth its higher paid starting price."}, {"ref": "sw:hubspot-crm", "name": "HubSpot CRM", "best_for": "Mobile-first sales and marketing teams", "pricing": "Free plan; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "HubSpot CRM offers AI, email sync, and marketing automation, but its stated platforms are only Android and iOS.", "choose_when": "Choose it when mobile-only access is sufficient and those integrated sales and marketing features fit your team."}, {"ref": "sw:odoo-crm", "name": "Odoo CRM", "best_for": "Open-source, self-hosted pipeline management", "pricing": "Free plan", "key_difference": "Odoo CRM is open source and supports self-hosting, with broad lead capture and a drag-and-drop Kanban pipeline.", "choose_when": "Choose it when open-source deployment, varied lead sources, and Kanban opportunity tracking take priority over 1CRM."}, {"ref": "sw:suitecrm", "name": "SuiteCRM", "best_for": "Open-source teams unifying sales and service", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from £50/mo; 30-day trial", "key_difference": "SuiteCRM is open source and unifies sales, marketing, and service teams through a 360-degree business view.", "choose_when": "Choose it when self-hosting and a combined sales, marketing, and service CRM better match your organization."}]}
