How that is worked out
Nothing else is added. Paid add-ons, extra contact capacity, sales tax and VAT are not in any figure on this site, because they depend on choices the pricing page does not price for you. Where a provider makes an onboarding fee mandatory and publishes the amount, it is added once. Every figure here is a floor. The full method is at Method.
When to stay where you are
Three conditions under which the table above should not move you.
- A cheaper seat price is not a reason on its own. Moving a CRM means exporting and re-importing your records, and no provider here publishes what leaving involves.
- Watch the minimums. monday CRM (3 seats) bill a minimum, which changes the per-seat figure for a small team.
- If you are under five seats, the ranking is different — put your seat count in rather than reading the ten-seat column.
Who this is not for
This is a price ranking, not a shortlist of better products. We have not used any of these providers. If your reason for moving is features or support, the order on this page tells you nothing about that.
