Verdict

Bundles marketing automation, CRM, and helpdesk cheaply for small businesses. Marketing automation and A/B testing require Growth ($59.79/user), a steep step up from Basic ($13.79/user).

Pros

  • Free plan with up to 250 contacts, email marketing, and helpdesk
  • Marketing, CRM, and helpdesk bundled cheaply
  • Basic plan $13.79/user/month billed annually

Cons

  • Marketing automation and A/B testing need Growth at $59.79/user
  • Basic plan is limited to 500 contacts

Free plan

Available

$0/month: 250 contacts, 1,000 branded emails, 2 lists, 5 custom fields, 1 landing page, 2 email sequences, CRM, helpdesk, live chat; free for teams of up to 15 members

Paid from

Basic $13.79/user/month billed yearly, $14.99/user/month billed monthly ($12.74 on 2-year billing); 500 contacts

Watch out

Big jump from Basic to Growth ($59.79 yearly / $64.99 monthly per user) to unlock marketing automation and A/B testing. Page labels are inconsistent (the $14.99 monthly card is captioned 'paid yearly'), and the 'Starts at $12.74' headline is the 2-year rate.
