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

Kanbanize

  • No per user price or minimum user count is published, despite the page being headed simple pricing
  • Automation rules are a paid add on on both plans, capped at 300 on Standard
  • SSO is a paid add on rather than included at either tier
  • File storage is 100 GB on Standard against 1 TB on Enterprise, and API calls are capped on Standard without the limit being stated
  • A dedicated cloud instance, IP whitelisting and 24/7 support are Enterprise only
