If you’re looking for free CRM software with customization, options and service, you’re probably in one of these common situations:<\/p>\n

\u2705 You’re launching a small freelance project, a VSE or a startup<\/strong>, and you need a simple, effective and cost-free customer relationship management tool to structure your first sales, customer follow-up or commercial communication processes. Traditional CRM solutions such as Salesforce or Pipedrive may seem too complex to use, too expensive, or unsuited to your budget, team size or current needs. The top 10 free CRMs presented in this comparison are designed to meet these needs, offering flexibility with a host of new services for interaction, tracking and data analysis. <\/p>\n

\u2705 You’re ready to invest the time to configure a customized CRM solution<\/strong>, but don’t have the resources to finance a premium version. So you turn to an open source CRM, an internally hosted system, or a free platform that you can adapt to your business processes without blowing your marketing budget. The last 5 solutions on this list, which are often more technical but flexible, are suited to this profile, which likes to manage and evolve its CRM solution step by step, or for an experienced consultant. <\/p>\n

\u2705 Or is it a common misunderstanding: you thought all CRMs offered a free version<\/strong> or a free trial, without understanding the limits imposed by these freemium offers, or that a service you were aiming for wasn’t accessible for free? In reality, some publishers – HubSpot CRM being the best-known example – do offer a free plan, but with a limited interface and service, a restricted number of features, users or pipelines. These free versions may suit some, but are not always suited to advanced needs, rapid growth or collaborative sales management. <\/p>\n

<\/i>What if you could afford the best CRM on the market?<\/span><\/p>\n

Whatever your company’s needs and context, it’s impossible to carry out a serious comparative study without including Salesforce in your benchmark.<\/p>\n

Salesforce now has a dedicated offer for SMEs and VSEs, the Salesforce Starter plan.<\/p>\n

In this article, we recommend 15 *really* free CRM software packages<\/strong>. We’ve classified them according to how easy they are to set up, from thirty minutes for the first to a few hours for the last (or even more, depending on your skills…).<\/p>\n

Solutions that are more complex to set up will survive your evolution longer, and the time invested at the outset is soon worth it. Investing time in setting up a CRM is never a waste.<\/p>\n

And don’t forget to look for solutions that integrate well with the tools you already use or are planning to use in the future. It would be a shame, for example, to choose a CRM that can’t connect with your accounting tool.<\/p>\n

<\/i>Warning<\/span>
\nBeware, however, of the illusion of gratuity. If you are looking to equip yourself on a project that is intended to scale, hire, etc., free tools will be suitable for a while, and then you’ll have to migrate. That’s when you’ll waste a lot of time, money and information. In my opinion, the additional cost of migration can easily exceed the several months it would take to pay for a solution deemed “too robust”, such as Pipedrive<\/a> or Sellsy<\/a>.<\/div>\n
