Why businesses switch from Centripe
Zoho Bigin
The rare CRM that a non-technical small business owner can actually set up and stick with.
What we like
- ✓Genuinely simple to set up and use
- ✓Free for one user, cheap per seat after
- ✓Visual pipelines make deal status obvious
Watch out for
- !Not built for complex enterprise sales processes
- !Advanced automation sits on higher tiers
- !Most value comes when you use other Zoho apps too
Best for
- ✓Small and medium businesses wanting their first real CRM
- ✓Teams that found Salesforce or HubSpot too heavy
- ✓Service businesses tracking quotes and follow-ups
- ✓Anyone already using or considering the Zoho suite
HubSpot
HubSpot's free CRM (a tool that stores every client conversation, deal, and follow-up task in one place) is genuinely excellent for small teams, but the paid upgrades are among the most expensive in the category.
What we like
- ✓Free CRM covers up to 1,000,000 contacts with no credit card required, a market-leading free tier
- ✓Email tracking shows when a prospect opens your email and how many times, visible directly inside Gmail
- ✓Deal pipelines are drag and drop with custom stages, typically taking under 2 hours to model your real sales process
Watch out for
- !Professional and Enterprise tier prices are among the highest in the CRM category: Marketing Hub Professional at $800/mo is out of reach for most small businesses
- !The $3,000 mandatory onboarding fee for Marketing Hub Professional is non-negotiable and surprises many buyers
- !Free plan email sends capped at 2,000/mo: a list of 5,000 contacts cannot be emailed in full without upgrading
Best for
- ✓B2B service businesses (companies that sell to other businesses) tracking 10 to 200 active leads at any time
- ✓Agencies managing client pipelines across multiple stages and multiple team members
- ✓Consultants who want to see when a prospect opens their email and get automatic follow-up reminders, at no cost
- ✓Small sales teams that need a shared CRM (client tracking tool) without paying $50 to $150 per person per month
- ✓SaaS startups (software companies) building their first sales process before hiring a dedicated salesperson
- ✓Freelancers managing recurring client relationships and tracking when renewals and upsells are due
- ✓E-commerce businesses using HubSpot's free live chat and shared inbox for customer support queries
- ✓-based B2B businesses that need a CRM and can pay via international card
Systeme.io
Systeme.io is genuinely the best value all-in-one marketing platform for solo entrepreneurs and course creators, though power users will eventually hit its analytics and customisation limits.
What we like
- ✓Free plan includes 2,000 contacts, 3 funnels, and 1 course with no credit card required, genuinely usable for a first launch
- ✓Replaces 5 separate tools (funnel builder, email platform, course host, affiliate manager, and automation connector) under one $17/month subscription
- ✓Zero transaction fees on all plans including the free tier, meaning systeme.io takes nothing from your course or product sales
Watch out for
- !Page builder does not support custom CSS or JavaScript at the element level, limiting design customisation to the available block templates only
- !Analytics are basic: funnel conversion rates and email open rates are tracked but there are no multi-touch attribution reports or detailed revenue dashboards
- !No native mobile app, so managing your funnels and checking stats requires a desktop or a mobile browser, which is slower and harder on small screens
Best for
- ✓Solopreneurs launching their first online course or coaching programme who need everything set up in one day without a developer
- ✓Course creators who are paying for Kajabi or Teachable and want the same features at a fraction of the cost
- ✓Coaches and consultants who want an automated webinar funnel (a pre-recorded sales presentation that runs 24 hours a day) without a separate webinar platform
- ✓Digital product sellers who want a built-in affiliate program without paying for a separate affiliate management tool
- ✓and global small businesses replacing a fragmented $300 to $400/month tool stack with a single $17 to $97/month system
- ✓Freelancers transitioning to productised services who want to sell a digital product or membership alongside their client work
- ✓Email list builders who want unlimited sends on all plans without per-email overage charges
- ✓Small businesses that want to set up automated post-purchase email sequences without using Zapier to connect separate tools
