Capsule CRM keeps the basics simple and aims its Starter plan at teams of 1 to 5. The free plan allows up to 2 users, 250 contacts, 5 custom fields and one sales pipeline, enough to try the product with real data. Starter costs $18 per user per month billed annually or $22 monthly and raises the contact limit to 30,000, adds email templates, a shared mailbox for addresses like sales@ and premium integrations with tools such as Xero and Zendesk. Growth at $36 adds 5 sales pipelines, 5 project boards, automations and enhanced AI tools, and Advanced at $54 raises those limits to 50. Capsule lists 100+ integrations, including QuickBooks, Slack and Zapier. Every paid plan has a 14-day trial with all features and no card. The weak spot is that a team running more than one pipeline, for example sales and renewals, has to jump to Growth.
