Minutes, not weeks: import your leads and start working them immediately, with zero configuration
2 to 4 weeks to reach a usable baseline, building blueprints, layouts, and custom modules

Monday CRM

Time to First Value
Immediate: the Lead Clipper turns any webpage or LinkedIn profile into a lead in one click
Templates help you start fast, but real value takes time once boards are customized
Setup Time
Minutes, not weeks: import your leads and start working them immediately, with zero configuration
Quick to get boards running with templates, but building a true CRM workflow takes longer to configure properly
Training Required
None beyond a 10-minute walkthrough. If your team can use a to-do list, they're ready
Visual and intuitive for basics, but advanced automations and endless board options add complexity
Mandatory Data Entry
Zero mandatory fields, reps log actions naturally without filling out forms first
Boards can require specific fields, depending on how each one is set up
Ongoing Maintenance
Zero admin overhead, with no data-entry police, no field cleanup, no dedicated CRM manager needed

WhatsApp compatibility
A free, dedicated Chrome extension creates leads and logs WhatsApp conversations in one click
No native WhatsApp option, so teams connect it manually through Zapier or Make
Integration
5,000+ integrations via Zapier and native tools, plus a free WhatsApp Chrome extension and native VoIP
200+ integrations, but no WhatsApp option, so you're stuck routing it through Zapier or Make
Quotes & Invoicing
Built-in quotes and invoices, so you can close the sale without ever leaving noCRM
Built-in invoicing and quoting tools are included, unlike most sales-focused CRMs
Pricing
Transparent per-user pricing with every core feature included, no forced add-ons, no setup fees
Per-seat pricing with a team-size minimum, plus usage caps that push most teams to a higher tier
Support
Real humans on live chat and email, on every plan, plus free onboarding to get you started
Solid, but priority support is locked behind the top-tier plan only
Mobile App
Native iOS and Android apps with offline mode, built for reps selling in the field
A solid mobile app for tracking boards, though less tailored to on-the-road sales calls

Essential pipeline and team reports, enough to act on without a manager's dashboard

Light by default, though more fields appear once AI lead scoring is configured
Ongoing Maintenance

A free, dedicated Chrome extension creates leads and logs WhatsApp conversations in one click
No dedicated WhatsApp tool, typically connected through a third-party app or Zapier
Integration
5,000+ integrations via Zapier and native tools, plus a free WhatsApp Chrome extension and native VoIP

Quotes & Invoicing
Built-in quotes and invoices, so you can close the sale without ever leaving noCRM
A native CPQ module for quotes, invoices and contracts is included from the Growth/Pro plan, though extra user licenses cost more
Pricing
Transparent per-user pricing with every core feature included, no forced add-ons, no setup fees

Less Annoying CRM

Time to First Value
Immediate: the Lead Clipper turns any webpage or LinkedIn profile into a lead in one click
Simple enough to start using the same day, with almost nothing to configure first
Setup Time
Minutes, not weeks: import your leads and start working them immediately, with zero configuration
Same-day setup, on par with noCRM, though that's where the similarities end
Training Required
None beyond a 10-minute walkthrough. If your team can use a to-do list, they're ready
Minimal, just like noCRM. Both are built to be usable from day one
Mandatory Data Entry
Zero mandatory fields, reps log actions naturally without filling out forms first
Minimal by design, consistent with its overall simplicity philosophy
Ongoing Maintenance
Zero admin overhead, with no data-entry police, no field cleanup, no dedicated CRM manager needed
Very low, but its fixed feature set leaves little room for more complex processes
WhatsApp compatibility
A free, dedicated Chrome extension creates leads and logs WhatsApp conversations in one click
No WhatsApp option at all, among its short list of native integrations
Integration
5,000+ integrations via Zapier and native tools, plus a free WhatsApp Chrome extension and native VoIP
Only about 10 native integrations, and no WhatsApp option at all
Quotes & Invoicing
Built-in quotes and invoices, so you can close the sale without ever leaving noCRM
No built-in quotes or invoices, since it's a contact manager, not a billing tool
Pricing
Transparent per-user pricing with every core feature included, no forced add-ons, no setup fees
One flat per-user price, with no tiers or hidden fees
Support
Real humans on live chat and email, on every plan, plus free onboarding to get you started

Native iOS and Android apps with offline mode, built for reps selling in the field
A mobile app launched recently, still newer and less complete than established players
Reporting & Analytics
Essential pipeline and team reports, enough to act on without a manager's dashboard
Basic activity and pipeline reports only, not built for deep analytics
Built For
The "Anti-CRM": built for salespeople to take action and close deals, not to build reports
Built for small, relationship-driven teams that just need simple contact management

Salesforce

Time to First Value
Immediate: the Lead Clipper turns any webpage or LinkedIn profile into a lead in one click
Slower to show value, since most teams need weeks of setup before the first deal moves through
Setup Time
Minutes, not weeks: import your leads and start working them immediately, with zero configuration
Weeks for a small team, and 6 to 18 months for anything bigger
Training Required
None beyond a 10-minute walkthrough. If your team can use a to-do list, they're ready
A genuinely steep learning curve that usually requires a certified consultant just to get started
Mandatory Data Entry
Zero mandatory fields, reps log actions naturally without filling out forms first
Required fields and validation rules are standard practice, usually set by an admin
Ongoing Maintenance
Zero admin overhead, with no data-entry police, no field cleanup, no dedicated CRM manager needed
Needs a dedicated admin permanently on staff to manage workflows, permissions, and required fields
WhatsApp compatibility
A free, dedicated Chrome extension creates leads and logs WhatsApp conversations in one click
WhatsApp usually means a paid add-on or custom development, not a built-in feature
Integration
5,000+ integrations via Zapier and native tools, plus a free WhatsApp Chrome extension and native VoIP
A huge marketplace on paper, but WhatsApp usually means a paid add-on or a developer
Quotes & Invoicing
Built-in quotes and invoices, so you can close the sale without ever leaving noCRM
No native invoicing on Sales Cloud, so billing typically needs a separate add-on
Pricing
Transparent per-user pricing with every core feature included, no forced add-ons, no setup fees
Per-user licensing that scales steeply by edition, often with significant separate implementation costs
Support
Real humans on live chat and email, on every plan, plus free onboarding to get you started
Premium and dedicated support tiers cost extra, on top of the license fees
Mobile App
Native iOS and Android apps with offline mode, built for reps selling in the field
A full-featured mobile app, though some admins report a learning curve on smaller screens

Hubspot

Time to First Value
Immediate: the Lead Clipper turns any webpage or LinkedIn profile into a lead in one click
Immediate for basic contact and deal tracking on the free plan; real sales value (sequences, reporting, quoting) needs a paid tier
Setup Time
Minutes, not weeks: import your leads and start working them immediately, with zero configuration
Free CRM live in under 2 hours, but full sales-process setup with sequences and automation takes weeks, and paid Professional/Enterprise onboarding runs 4 to 12 weeks
Training Required
None beyond a 10-minute walkthrough. If your team can use a to-do list, they're ready
Free and Starter are intuitive, but sequences, custom reporting and quoting have a real learning curve, backed by paid onboarding and Academy courses
Mandatory Data Entry
Zero mandatory fields, reps log actions naturally without filling out forms first
Low by default, though more properties appear as workflows and reporting get configured
Ongoing Maintenance
Zero admin overhead, with no data-entry police, no field cleanup, no dedicated CRM manager needed
Properties, workflows and multiple Hubs need active governance, or teams accumulate technical debt as usage grows
WhatsApp compatibility
A free, dedicated Chrome extension creates leads and logs WhatsApp conversations in one click
An official native integration, but limited to one WhatsApp number and only unlocked on Sales Hub or Marketing Hub Professional and above
Integration
5,000+ integrations via Zapier and native tools, plus a free WhatsApp Chrome extension and native VoIP
2,000+ apps in the marketplace, but native WhatsApp needs a paid Hub upgrade and quoting needs a separate Commerce Hub
Quotes & Invoicing
Built-in quotes and invoices, so you can close the sale without ever leaving noCRM
Basic native quotes with Stripe payment collection from Starter, but deeper CPQ, subscription billing and true invoicing sit in the separate paid Commerce Hub
Pricing
Transparent per-user pricing with every core feature included, no forced add-ons, no setup fees
A generous free tier, then a steep jump to Professional (around $100/seat/month plus a mandatory ~$1,500 first-year onboarding fee), with several paid Hubs and add-ons
Support
Real humans on live chat and email, on every plan, plus free onboarding to get you started
Self-serve resources on Free, email and chat from Starter, phone support only from Professional up
Mobile App
Native iOS and Android apps with offline mode, built for reps selling in the field
Native iOS and Android apps, generally well-reviewed and consistent with the desktop experience
Reporting & Analytics
Essential pipeline and team reports, enough to act on without a manager's dashboard
Strong dashboards and forecasting, but custom reports and advanced analytics are Professional-tier features
Built For
The "Anti-CRM": built for salespeople to take action and close deals, not to build reports
Growing companies that want one platform across marketing, sales and service, and are willing to pay more as they scale each Hub

FAQ

Got questions?

Is there a free trial? Do I need to add my credit card to start?

Every plan comes with a 15-day free trial (no credit card required) giving you full access to all features before making a decision. Add your payment details to extend your trial to 30 days and enjoy twice the time to experience how much easier selling can be. When your trial ends, you can upgrade to a paid plan anytime, or your account will simply be paused until you're ready to subscribe.

Which plan is right for me?

  • If you’re selling solo or managing a single pipeline, the Starter plan is a simple, fast way to organize your leads and close deals. It includes all the essential features you need to start selling right away.
  • The Expert plan is the best fit for most teams. It combines unlimited pipelines and leads follow-ups, quotes and invoices, full customization, and 3,000+ integrations with your favorite tools. Everything you need to grow efficiently and collaborate with ease.
  • If your company is scaling fast and you need advanced automations, complete control, and premium onboarding options, the Dream plan takes everything even further to power your growth. You’ll get advanced permissions, detailed analytics, and full integration capabilities (WhatsApp, VoIP, email). It includes team management features, workflow automations, and deep integrations.

You can switch between the Starter, Expert, and Dream plans at any time. Changes take effect immediately, with billing updated at your next renewal for monthly plans. For yearly plans, the account is charged immediately with a prorated amount. If you're on an annual plan or have special pricing, please contact support before switching. Note that our Starter plan includes a lead limit, if you exceed it, you'll need to reduce your leads before downgrading.

Is support included in the price?

Yes! Every plan includes support and resources to help you get started quickly:

  • Access to our knowledge base, FAQs, and free online training.
  • Real human support support via chatbot, email, and live chat.
  • Option to work with certified partners for onboarding and setup.

With the Dream plan, you go even further:

  • Priority support with call escalation when needed.
  • Personalized onboarding and training for teams of 5+ users.
  • Advanced onboarding and setup options through certified partners.

How is pricing calculated? Per month or per year? Per user or per account?

All our plans are priced per user/seat. This way, you only pay for the people who actually need access to noCRM nothing more. You can upgrade or downgrade at any time to match your needs.

Do you offer discounts for annual billing?

Yes. Annual plans include a discount compared to monthly billing saving you money while keeping your sales organized.

Does noCRM offer special pricing for nonprofits, startups, or education?

We don’t have dedicated discounts for these groups right now. However, our Customer Success team is happy to review your case and let you know if there are any seasonal offers or promotions available for your account.

How many users can I have in my account?

As many as you want. However, if you’re managing a team, only the Dream plan gives you the advanced tools to stay in control. With Dream, you unlock role and permission management, user-specific time zone settings, lead assignment, team goal tracking, performance reports, and advanced security features like export restrictions, session management, and sensitive action logs.

What happens if I add or remove users in the middle of my billing cycle?

When you add new users, they’re billed on a pro-rated basis for the remainder of the current billing period. If you remove users, their licenses remain active and available until the end of that period. If a license isn’t reassigned by then, it will be automatically removed, and you won’t be charged for it in the next cycle.

Can I have 2 users in one plan and 1 in another?

No. All users in the same account must be on the same plan. However, you can set different roles and permissions to control what each teammate can access and do inside noCRM.

What if I decide to cancel my subscription?

You can cancel anytime. Your account will remain active until the end of your current billing period, and you’ll always have access to export your data before closing your account. For security reasons, data from closed accounts is retained for up to 6 months.
