EngageBay is the free CRM for a team that needs many logins more than many records. The free plan covers teams of up to 15 members and bundles a CRM with email broadcasts, autoresponders, sequences, lead grabbers, landing pages, a help desk and live chat. The limit you will hit is contacts: the free plan holds 250, so it suits a team working a focused set of accounts rather than a large inbound list. Paid plans come in Basic, Growth and Pro, sold as an all-in-one suite or as separate Marketing, Service and CRM and Sales Bays. The CRM and Sales Bay starts at $11.04 per user per month, the price shown with the 15% biennial discount; yearly billing saves 8%. Basic adds 500 contacts, lead scoring and SMS marketing, Growth jumps to 5,000 contacts with marketing automation and proposals, and Pro covers 10,000 contacts with SSO and custom reporting.
