Review Criteria Scorecard
What we love
- Extremely budget-friendly: permanent free plan plus full all-in-one paid plans starting at only $12.99/mo.
- Includes email marketing, landing pages, meeting schedulers, and pipeline management in one single subscription.
- A true low-cost alternative to HubSpot with transparent pricing that does not spike unexpectedly.
- Includes meeting scheduler links (like Calendly) at zero additional charge.
The limitations
- General business CRM that requires 10 minutes of custom field setup for real estate terminology.
- Email template builder is functional but less sophisticated than ActiveCampaign.
- Support response times on the free tier can take 12-24 hours.
