The short version

  • Each has a real cost: Freshsales contact scoring, sales sequences and territory management require the Pro plan at $39 per user per month, more than four times the Growth price; LeadSquared both published plans cap seats at just 2 users, so any team larger than that must move to an unpublished custom plan
