Where each one falls short
Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.
Capsule CRM
- Free plan caps at 250 contacts and a maximum of 2 users, with only 1 sales pipeline
- Starter plan, the cheapest paid tier, still caps at 30,000 contacts before requiring an upgrade to Growth (60,000) or Advanced (120,000)
- Ultimate tier, aimed at teams of 5 or more users, has no published price and requires contacting sales
- Marketing features are not included in any core plan; the Transpond marketing add-on costs an additional $11/month minimum on top of the CRM price
Clari
- Limited customization; built for specific use cases and cannot make predictions outside core objects
- Requires extensive manual data inputs; depends on spreadsheet-based consolidation creating data gaps and inaccurate predictions
- English-only with no multilingual support for global teams
- High total cost of ownership including mandatory implementation services and expensive add-ons
- Overlaps with other tools; if already using Gong or Outreach, Clari duplicates conversation intelligence and engagement features
