Method CRM is the most QuickBooks-centric product we compared. Method's QuickBooks CRM page describes a patented, two-way, real-time integration that syncs customers, invoices, payments and more, and says it works whether you use QuickBooks Online or QuickBooks Desktop. That Desktop support matters because most CRM integrations, including Pipedrive's and Salesmate's, are limited to QuickBooks Online. Around the sync, Method adds estimates with online approvals, proposals with e-signatures, invoicing, customer portals and workflow automation, so a quote can move to an invoice without leaving the CRM. Method also cites a 4.7 out of 5 rating on the QuickBooks App Store. Pricing starts at $35 per user per month for CRM Quick Start, with CRM Pro at $59 and CRM Enterprise at $97, and annual prepay takes 10% off. There is no free plan, only a 10-day trial, and the entry seat is pricier than general CRMs, which is the trade-off for a deeper accounting link.
