Crossbeam

  • The first paid plan is $4,800 a year and includes a single full access seat, with additional seats at $1,800 a year each
  • The free plan caps Deal Navigator and Pipeline Generation at 10 records each and offers no record exports at all

  • Sales seats are a separate $40 per user per month on top of the plan
  • SAML SSO and advanced access controls are excluded from the Connector plan
  • Both upper tiers are custom priced

Leapsome

  • The minimum contract term is one year
  • Modules are bought individually, so a full platform means combining several purchases
  • Compensation benchmarks and learning content are paid add ons on top of the modules
  • Dedicated customer success support is tied to annual contracts of 6,000 EUR or more
  • Actual pricing is quoted rather than listed, and depends on headcount and contract length
