Streak

  • The free tier is email tools only, with pipelines, contact records and automation all requiring the Pro plan
  • Free mail merge is capped at 50 a day
  • The entry paid plan is $49 per user per month, which is high for a CRM that lives inside Gmail
  • Integrations require a paid plan

SugarCRM

  • Every plan carries a 15 user minimum, so the entry cost is 15 seats regardless of team size
  • At $59 per user on Standard that minimum makes the real floor $885 a month
  • All three tiers are billed annually with no monthly option
  • The vendor still directs buyers to sales for a package rather than treating the published rate as final
