The short version

  • Only Insightly has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Insightly record counts are capped by plan, at 100,000 on Plus and 500,000 on Enterprise, so the database size decides the tier; Salesflare enterprise carries a five seat minimum, so its 99 dollar per user headline is really a 495 dollar monthly floor, and a three person team wanting the training and migration that tier includes still pays for five.
  • They diverge on capability: Insightly covers Contact management, Salesflare covers Automated data entry.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

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

Insightly

  • Record counts are capped by plan, at 100,000 on Plus and 500,000 on Enterprise, so the database size decides the tier
  • Workflow automation requires the Professional plan at $49 per user per month
  • AI Copilot is metered by query, at 75 on Plus and 100 on Professional
  • Mass email is capped daily, at 2,500 on Plus and 10,000 on Enterprise
  • CRM, Marketing and Service are sold as three separate products, and Marketing is priced per account by prospect count starting at $99 for 2,000
  • Sandboxes and audit logging are Enterprise only at $99 per user per month

Salesflare

  • Enterprise carries a five seat minimum, so its 99 dollar per user headline is really a 495 dollar monthly floor, and a three person team wanting the training and migration that tier includes still pays for five.
  • Lead enrichment credits are metered and Growth includes only five a month, so any prospecting workflow effectively requires Pro or a credit top-up, priced from 39 dollars for two hundred and fifty.
  • The automation depends on connected mailboxes and calendars, so deals worked over phone, WhatsApp or in person leave large gaps in the timeline the product is meant to fill.
  • Email workflows, permissions and custom dashboards are all withheld from the entry Growth tier, which means most teams that evaluate on the 29 dollar price actually buy at 49 dollars.
  • It is built for B2B pipelines with named accounts and has little to offer high-volume B2C sales, field service dispatch or any process that is not a small number of relationship-led opportunities.
