Cheapest CRM for a small business

A 5-person team that needs contacts, a sales pipeline and email that logs itself to the CRM. Every CRM we track is priced at its cheapest plan that does all three for 5 users, from each vendor's own pricing page. Ranked by price only, never paid.

For 5 users, the cheapest is HubSpot: Sales Hub Starter plan at $100/mo.

Scenario: 5 users (per-seat pricing), monthly billing, must have Contact management, Sales pipeline management, Email sync & tracking. Prices checked between 2026-11-01 and 2026-11-02.

How the price is worked out

Per-user plans cost the price × 5; flat plans cost their price if their user limit fits. A feature counts only where the vendor states it fully on that plan; partial support doesn't count. Monthly billing; plans sold on yearly billing only are marked.
