Agile CRM

  • The Internet Archive's capture of Agile CRM's pricing page on 29 December 2022 listed Starter at $8.99 per user per month (2-year rate), Regular at $29.99, and Enterprise at $47.99, with the Free tier capped at 10 users and 1,000 contacts.

HubSpot

  • Free tier limited to 2 users and 1,000 contacts; severely restricts growing teams
  • Many advanced features (automation workflows, custom objects, advanced reporting) gated to paid tiers
  • Starter plan at $7/month per seat scales quickly for larger teams (300+ users would cost significantly more)
  • Free tier removes credit card requirement but lacks most enterprise capabilities
