Alternatives to Freshsales

{"intro": "Freshsales gives sales teams a visual, drag-and-drop pipeline, synchronized email, phone and chat, and a 360-degree contact view. Freddy AI highlights leads and deals, offers insights and writes emails, while sequences, assignment rules, workflows and notifications organize follow-up. The mobile app works on iOS and Android, with offline mode, voice notes, Google Maps synchronization and Gmail and Outlook add-ons. APIs and more than 100 Freshworks Marketplace integrations extend its reach.\n\nThe free plan supports up to three users. Paid plans start at $9 per user per month when billed annually, and the fully loaded trial lasts 21 days before accounts are suspended without continuation. Freshsales runs on web, iOS, Android, an API and an extension. Alternatives may suit teams needing broader platform coverage, marketing automation, open-source or self-hosted deployment, different collaboration models or a different price. Compare each product’s pipeline and communication tools, AI and automation, platform support, free-plan limits, trial terms and ongoing cost before switching.", "rows": [{"ref": "sw:zoho-crm", "name": "Zoho CRM", "best_for": "Teams wanting marketing automation with CRM and AI", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $14/user/mo annually; 15-day trial", "key_difference": "Zoho CRM adds marketing automation, while Freshsales combines AI, communication channels and workflows without that stated capability.", "choose_when": "Choose it when marketing automation matters more than Freshsales’ lower annual starting price and broader stated communication tools."}, {"ref": "sw:attio", "name": "Attio", "best_for": "Teams needing macOS access and a flexible CRM", "pricing": "Free plan; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "Attio supports macOS and describes a CRM for building pipeline, advancing deals and growing accounts.", "choose_when": "Choose it when macOS support and Attio’s account-growth focus fit better than Freshsales’ stated platform mix."}, {"ref": "sw:eway-crm", "name": "eWay-CRM", "best_for": "Teams wanting unlimited free users and desktop coverage", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $20/user/mo; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "eWay-CRM offers a free Contacts & Companies plan for unlimited users with 200 MB storage and supports Windows and macOS.", "choose_when": "Choose it when unlimited free users or Windows and macOS access outweigh Freshsales’ lower paid starting price."}, {"ref": "sw:hubspot-crm", "name": "HubSpot CRM", "best_for": "Teams seeking marketing automation on mobile", "pricing": "Free plan; 14-day trial", "key_difference": "HubSpot CRM includes marketing automation but its stated platforms are Android and iOS, unlike Freshsales’ web, API and extension access.", "choose_when": "Choose it when mobile marketing automation is preferable to Freshsales’ broader stated platform coverage."}, {"ref": "sw:odoo-crm", "name": "Odoo CRM", "best_for": "Organizations wanting open-source, self-hosted CRM flexibility", "pricing": "Free plan", "key_difference": "Odoo CRM is open source, supports self-hosting and captures leads from email, VoIP, social reactions, websites, events and support tickets.", "choose_when": "Choose it when open-source deployment and varied lead sources matter more than Freshsales’ Freddy AI and built-in channels."}, {"ref": "sw:suitecrm", "name": "SuiteCRM", "best_for": "Organizations needing open-source sales, marketing and service CRM", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from £50/mo; 30-day trial", "key_difference": "SuiteCRM is open source and unifies sales, marketing and service teams, with Linux and self-hosted support.", "choose_when": "Choose it when self-hosting, open-source control and a 30-day trial suit your organization better than Freshsales."}, {"ref": "sw:freshworks-crm", "name": "Freshworks CRM", "best_for": "Teams wanting Freshworks CRM with marketing automation", "pricing": "Free plan; paid from $9/user/mo annually; 21-day trial", "key_difference": "Freshworks CRM adds marketing automation while matching Freshsales’ stated starting price, trial length and iOS, Android and web platforms.", "choose_when": "Choose it when marketing automation is required and Freshworks CRM’s platform coverage meets your needs."}]}
