Understandably so. That's a lot to ask for a freemium app. EngageBay , a relatively new kid on the block, is one of the few gratis all-in-ones left. Not only that, the company makes upgrading to paid plans very affordable. The app comes with contacts, and each contact record shows a degree view. Visible when applicable are activities, emails, deals, tasks, notes, workflows, chats, events, and other touchpoints that allow users to see how a contact has interacted with your company over time.

Sequences are also found under the marketing module, with the same setup process and functionality. The marketing suite includes lead scoring, forms, pop-ups, email templates, landing pages, newsletters, and other tools to both capture and nurture contacts. EngageBay offers a nice selection of templates for these tools, or you can create your own from scratch.

This, combined with its other features, makes it stand out from the crowd.

With unlimited users, you can invite your entire team to use Bitrix24, slotting them into the app departments you create. Once your employees accept the invite, they'll be given access to their own customizable version of the app.

As your business grows, your technology needs usually change with it. And the company best equipped to handle this growth is Zoho. Starting with their free CRM, Zoho provides affordable, incremental upgrade paths, plus access to their other suite of business apps. There's very little an organization would need—marketing, eCommerce, finance, HR—that Zoho doesn't provide an app for.
The CRM includes deal management, tasks, and room for 5, records, which they define as contacts, accounts, deals, campaigns, and several other "modules. But note that you must upgrade to a paid plan to increase the modules limit. Unfortunately, the free version now only integrates with one app: SalesIQ.
This app provides live chat functionality and website visitor tracking by installing a code snippet in your website's source code. It's a nice tool to have in the box for sales, as it lets you answer initial visitor questions and ask qualifying questions. Then, if there's enough interest, you can schedule a call from the chat.
SalesIQ will score leads, track a chat visitor's activity on your site, and send notifications when the contact revisits. It's free for one user and can integrate with a handful of other Zoho products, Zoom, Gmail, and Zapier. If you need to upgrade from Bigin to any of Zoho CRM's paid plans in the future to expand capabilities, it takes just a few clicks. See this comparison page to better understand Zoho's and Bigin's features and limitations.
By connecting Zoho or Bigin to Zapier , you'll be able to add new contacts to your CRM whenever you have a new lead from an ad, a form, an order, or anywhere else, or get a notification whenever you have a new deal.
The mammoth App Marketplace has over integrations available to various levels of HubSpot plans e. Not only that, but many of these third-party apps provide free editions, which allows greater accessibility for small businesses with limited resources. And the new, included Operations Hub provides additional data sync features for a select group of apps. The CRM is forever free and includes unlimited users and room for up to one million contacts.
All of these are designed to provide a taste of their meatier Sales, Marketing, and Service Hubs, which provide advanced features at tiered pricing. For many, the CRM will be all that's needed to track deals and manage relationships, especially if you're integrating with other business apps in your stack.
For example, a good first step is to connect your Outlook or Gmail account, so you can email directly from a contact record, track conversations, and use the sales templates to quickly respond. HubSpot makes managing relationships easy with a contact record showing all sales, ticketing, and website activity with a timeline of pages viewed if the tracking code is installed. It will also show activity from your integrations. For instance, if you use Mailchimp for email campaigns, the contact record will show sends, opens, clicks, and bounces.
Similarly, an Eventbrite integration will show an event registration in the contact's timeline. Connecting apps was straightforward for the handful I connected, but if you get stuck, each app's integration page has a setup guide and resources to help. Also note that not all of the integration features will be available to free CRM users because they require features from the advanced paid plans.
HubSpot's Operations Hub was released in April as a way to provide easier and cleaner data syncing between the CRM and third-party apps. Currently, there are over 50 apps available for this new syncing feature. As a test, I connected my Zoho free account from the list of "data sync built by HubSpot" apps in the Marketplace. With a few clicks, both apps were connected. Then I chose how my contacts were to sync using the rule option there are dozens of filters for only the contacts where I was the owner.
The contact fields that are matched between the two apps defaulted to 16—to get custom field options, you need to upgrade to a paid plan. Finally, I clicked the review button for a summary of the sync and then clicked save and sync to start the process. Within about 20 seconds, all my contacts were shared bi-directionally between the two apps. So my HubSpot contacts synced with Zoho and vice versa.
Any contacts I added or changes I made in either app immediately appeared in the other. Zapier creates thousands of additional integration options for HubSpot. For example, you can automatically add new leads or email marketing contacts to HubSpot as contacts. Learn about five of the most popular ways to automate business operations in HubSpot.
