What does each CRM cost to start?
The cheapest way in to every CRM on this page, read off each vendor's own pricing page rather than collected from comparison sites. List prices, not promotional rates.

The whole table was last read in full on 2026-08-22, each price in the currency that vendor publishes for Europe. Any row read on a different day carries its own date. Vendors change prices without notice, so treat this as a starting point and confirm before you buy.
How these prices were checked
- Every figure was read on the vendor's own pricing page by a person, on the date shown above. None of them were copied from another comparison site.
- Nothing here is scraped. An automated pass over these same pages once returned "Pipedrive from $2" and "Insightly from $1", both of which were footnote markers, and recorded HubSpot as having no free tier. That is why reading is mandatory and extraction is banned.
- Eight of the twenty render their prices with JavaScript or price by country, so a plain fetch cannot see them. Those are read in a real browser, and the file records which ones they are.
- Four publish no price at all. That is recorded as "quote only" rather than left blank, because for a small business it is often the decisive answer.
- Each price is in the currency that vendor publishes for Europe. Nothing is converted, so the column is comparable in kind but not in currency.
- Every check is appended to a dated history rather than overwriting the last one, so a price rise stays visible after it happens. The full set is published under CC BY 4.0 as a downloadable JSON file.
Where the export button actually is.
The first practical question when you leave a CRM is where the export lives. It is buried in a different place in every tool, so here are all twenty, with the trap in each one.
| Tool | Where the export lives | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Adobe Experience Cloud | Marketo > Smart List > Export to CSV | You build the Smart List first. The Marketo REST API is the other route. |
| Airtable | View menu > Download CSV | Web and desktop apps only, and it exports just what the view shows. Clear the filters first or rows go missing. |
| Attio | Import / Export > Export view as CSV | It exports only the columns visible in the view. |
| Factorial | Organisation > Export data > Employees > Download | Most records here are staff, not CRM contacts. Export only the external ones. |
| Freshsales | Admin Settings > Account > Export data | |
| Google Sheets | File > Download > CSV | One CSV per tab. |
| Holded | Contacts > Download | Clients and Suppliers are two separate downloads, one per tab. |
| HubSpot | CRM > Contacts / Companies / Deals > Export | The download link is emailed, and it expires after 30 days. |
| Insightly | Settings > Import/Export | |
| Microsoft Dynamics 365 | Power Apps maker portal | There is no export button. It runs through the Power Apps maker portal, the Dataverse Excel add-in or a Power Automate flow. |
| Notion | ... > Export > CSV | Relations export as plain-text URLs, not links. |
| Odoo | Action > Export | |
| Oracle CX Sales | BI Publisher | There is no export button. It runs through BI Publisher, the REST APIs or Application Composer. |
| Pipedrive | Account menu > Tools and apps > Export data | Any single list also exports from its own gear icon. Activities, notes and files come out separately from deals and contacts. |
| Sage | Search list / saved search / group > Export to File | Somebody has to grant you 'Export to File in Search/Groups' first, under Administration > E-mail and Documents. |
| Salesforce | Setup > Data Export | Data Loader is the other route. |
| SAP CRM | Fiori list export | There is no export button. It runs through Fiori list exports, OData on SAP Gateway or BAPIs on classic SAP CRM. |
| SugarCRM | Admin > Import/Export | |
| Zendesk | Settings > Data > Export | |
| Zoho CRM | Setup > Data Administration > Export | Custom modules export too. |
Checked on 2026-08-10 against each vendor's own interface or documentation. They move these menus, so treat it as a starting point.
Questions the table answers
How many of these CRMs have a free plan?
8 of the 20 publish a free plan, and the useful half is what the free plan stops you doing. Every free tier on this page carries the vendor's own stated limit beside it, read from their documentation: a contact cap, a single pipeline, a block ceiling, or a seat that quietly becomes a workspace owner. A free plan you outgrow in a month is a trial with better marketing.
Which of these CRMs do not publish a price?
3 of the 20: Sage, SAP CRM, Adobe Experience Cloud. Each of them puts sales contact where a number would be, so the only honest thing this table can record is that no figure exists on their own pages. That is a finding rather than a gap. If a price matters to your decision before a call, they have already answered you.
Do any of them require a minimum number of seats?
2 of the 20: Oracle CX Sales, SugarCRM. Oracle CX Sales sets the highest floor, 10 seats, which turns a per-user figure into a bill of 1500 a month before anyone logs in. It is the most misleading number in this category, because a per-seat price implies you can start with two people, and a seat minimum is exactly the kind of term that lives below the pricing table rather than in it.
Can I get my data out of the CRM I am on now?
Yes, from all 20. The migration table on this page names where each vendor's export lives, menu by menu, because knowing that an export exists is not the same as finding it on a Tuesday afternoon. Export formats are CSV or Excel almost everywhere. What travels is your records and fields; what does not is usually automation, custom layouts and permissions.
How current are these prices?
Every figure was read on that vendor's own pricing page on 2026-08-22, and each row carries the date it was read plus a link to the page it came from. No price on this table was extracted automatically. A test fails our build if this date goes more than 60 days stale, so the page cannot quietly become a museum of last quarter's pricing.
