Redtail is one of the most widely used CRMs in the advisor market, and its two-plan pricing keeps the choice simple. Launch costs $39 per user per month billed yearly or $45 monthly, allows up to five users and covers contact and account management, compliant note archiving, customizable reports, segmentation, a sales pipeline tracker and seminar management. Growth costs $59 per user billed yearly or $65 monthly, removes the user cap and adds automated workflows, automation triggers, email and calendar sync, and two products that would otherwise be separate purchases: Redtail Imaging for document management with 200 GB of storage, and Redtail Speak for archived, compliant texting. Speak depends on broker-dealer approval, which matters for hybrid and dually registered advisors. The interface is functional rather than modern, and larger firms negotiate custom terms with a minimum license commitment. For value, few advisor CRMs come close.
