The short version

  • Only Copper has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Copper the Basic plan caps at 2,500 contacts and 25 companies, which is small for a CRM at $23 per user per month; Solid Performers monthly billing carries a five-user minimum, so the advertised 10 US dollars per user is really a 50 US dollar monthly floor, and teams of two or three must either overbuy seats or lock into annual billing.
  • They diverge on capability: Copper covers Gmail integration, Solid Performers covers Lead management.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 2 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Copper

  • The Basic plan caps at 2,500 contacts and 25 companies, which is small for a CRM at $23 per user per month
  • Professional at $59 per user per month still caps at 15,000 contacts and 50 companies
  • Workflow automation, bulk email and reporting all require Professional
  • Email sequences, custom reports and multi-currency are Business tier only at $99 per user per month
  • The advertised prices are the annual rates; monthly billing runs from $29 to $134 per user

Solid Performers

  • Monthly billing carries a five-user minimum, so the advertised 10 US dollars per user is really a 50 US dollar monthly floor, and teams of two or three must either overbuy seats or lock into annual billing.
  • Common capabilities are charged as separate one-off add-ons rather than included: 249 US dollars for setup and training, 99 for SMS and 149 for WhatsApp, which can double first-year cost for a small team.
  • The integration catalogue is small and skewed to Indian channels such as IndiaMART and WhatsApp, so a European or North American team will find its usual marketing, support and finance tools absent.
  • It is a small vendor with support aligned to Indian business hours, which means slow turnaround for customers in the Americas and a genuine continuity risk for a system holding your entire pipeline.
  • Functionality is sales-first with no meaningful marketing automation or customer service module, so growth beyond pipeline management means adding another product rather than another tier.
