The catalogue
Independent, practical profiles that explain who a product suits, what its plans include, and where the trade-offs begin. We start with software already covered in StackPick comparisons.
Sales
A broad CRM starting point with a permanent free tier.
HubSpot CRM brings contact records, deal pipelines and sales activity into one workspace. It can suit freelancers and small teams that need a clear place to track enquiries before they invest in a larger sales or marketing stack.
Free plan
Yes. HubSpot's official CRM information describes a no-expiry free tier for up to 2 users and 1,000 contacts. Feature availability and other record limits apply.
Sales
A sales-focused CRM built around deals and pipeline stages.
Pipedrive is designed to help salespeople keep leads, deals and next actions visible as opportunities move through a pipeline. It is worth evaluating when the main job is managing a repeatable sales process rather than running an all-in-one marketing platform.
Free plan
No permanent free plan is advertised on the official pricing page; a 14-day trial is available. Confirm whether a payment method is required in your region and at sign-up.
Sales
A configurable CRM that connects with a wider business software suite.
Zoho CRM helps businesses organise customer records, sales activities and deal stages. It is particularly worth shortlisting if your business already uses Zoho products or wants to evaluate a CRM alongside accounting, invoicing, support and other operational tools.
Free plan
A free edition is advertised, but eligibility, user limits and included features can vary. Verify the current terms on the official pricing page before planning around it.
A profile explains one product; a comparison helps you choose between alternatives for a real task.
