Researching CRMs systems can be a drag, but Customer Relationship Management systems are invaluable to businesses because they streamline and automate all of your customer interactions. Infusionsoft is a good choice of CRM, but there are so many options you can choose from and, here at Mission Suite, we know it can get overwhelming, so we compiled this list of the best alternatives to Infusionsoft to help you in your research process.
Mission Suite
Mission Suite has many valuable tools to use. From inbound marketing, email marketing, sales management, automated email triggers, you’ll find everything you need for your business with Mission Suite. Managing and paying for multiple platforms are a thing of the past. Mission Suite’s pricing differs from other CRMs in one crucial way; rather than charging per user, Mission Suite prices your plan based on the size of database needed, which can make Mission Suite the more affordable option. This feature allows Mission Suite to bescalable to any size business. The smallest database allows for an unlimited number of users and 150 contacts, starting at just $30 per month.

EngageBay
EngageBay is a great choice if you’re on a tight budget. They allow you to purchase their CRM & Sales Bay alone or in conjunction with their Marketing Bay. The Service Bay is complimentary with each purchase. You also have the option to choose their All-in-One Platform for just a bit more per month if you choose the Basic plan. Even EngageBay’s Pro and Growth prices are quite affordable if you consider how many services they offer. Their Pro plan is a quality choice for businesses that need analytical reports. They also offer a free package where you can try the system or you can choose to use it exclusively if you just need the bare necessities. EngageBay also offers a free migration service, making switching CRM systems even easier.
Ontraport
Ontraport is a good choice for businesses that are looking to start an affiliate partner program. Ontraport’s system has built-in software that allows you to create your own affiliate partner program. Their system also allows you to start selling Ecommerce, but what makes Ontraport so great is that it has all of their tools on one centralized platform. To lengthen the list of benefits further, they also have guides, blogs, podcasts, and templates available to help improve your business.
Drip
Drip is the perfect CRM solution for Ecommerce businesses. With Drip, you can build the CRM solution you need at a price you can afford. They have hundreds of featured integrations and Ecommerce integrations with Big Commerce, WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, and Custom Store. They also have a blog and online training with information to help you further your Ecommerce business. They also offer Email or Email+SMS plans. The difference in price is very small, so I suggest the Email+SMS plan for Ecommerce businesses; however, it’s not necessary and you could do just fine without it. They also have the option of trying the system out before you buy it, which is always nice, especially if you’ve never used a CRM system before.
Pipedrive
Pipedrive is another great budget alternative to Infusionsoft. It’s not the cheapest option, but they offer a number of good features for a good price, and each plan has a 14-day free trial. Their interface is very easy-to-use, and they have their own affiliate partner program for you to earn even more. If you find that you love Pipedrive, you can always become an affiliate partner and make commission from referrals if you have a strong online presence. This partnership would be a great way to help subsidize the subscription cost and be another driving force to further your online presence.
Freshsales
Freshsales is a great budget CRM. Their software and reports focus on leads, a key feature of any business. Their pricing is clear and simple. After you try out the free plan, just upgrade as needed to the plan that best fits your business’ needs. Each price plan has its own customization and visualization tools, such as custom dashboards and reports, a Visual Sales Pipeline, and AI-powered Predictive Contact Scoring. Freshsales is a great Infusionsoft alternative for small businesses, but you could find the system to be lacking once your business suddenly grows.
ActiveCampaign
ActiveCampaign has an fairly extensive list of systems and services. This allows them to have a competitive edge against other CRMs like Infusionsoft. However, it’s still not the cheapest since you will most likely need the Plus plan to do more than the bare minimum. They also only have annual billing, which could make upgrading a bit annoying if you found that you needed it. Many companies prorate the rest of your annual subscription toward any upgrades, but double check before you buy. If an annual payment plan doesn’t bother you, then you’ll definitely find that ActiveCampaign’s Plus or Pro plan has everything you need.
Keap
Keap is another great alternative to Infusionsoft whose pricing and appointment scheduling software stands out amongst other CRMs. Their scheduling software allows leads to schedule appointments directly into your calendar. Keap often has sales, so keep your eyes peeled for discounts. For 2 users and 500 contacts, their Pro plan has all the analytics and automation you need to grow your business.
Arctic PinPoint
Arctic PinPoint has a loftier price tag compared to other CRMs on this list so far, but their lowest priced package, Lite, has most of the automation basics any small business would need for just $59 a month. The price jumps quite a bit from the Lite to the Starter package, but the Professional plan is going to be the best value for a small- to medium-sized business. You get 3 more users and higher capabilities for customization for just $30 more per month more. Although the price seems high, just keep in mind that you get a 30-day free trial for each plan.
Sendinblue
Sendinblue is perfect for businesses in need of simplicity. If you just need marketing automation and web tracking, then Sendinblue’s Free and Lite packages are a smart budget choice. Their Premium package allows for just 3 users, but Mission Suite allows for unlimited users. If you don’t have a need for many users than, this shouldn’t shake your decisionmaking process. If you do try their Free plan and find that you absolutely love their system, then perhaps the higher price will be well worth it for your business or situation.
GetResponse
GetResponse is perfect for any size business, especially thoe with heavy engagement through webinars and/or Ecommerce. The Autofunnel feature will do all the sales heavy-lifting for you, so you can focus on the bigger picture. Their prices are relatively cheap and very scalable to any sized business. Another great aspect of GetResponse is that they also have enterprise level pricing available with their MAX packages. They also allow you to create your own funnel of landing pages, emails, and even payment processing through gateways like Square and Stripe. They have a free plan to help you come to an educated decision on the best Infusionsoft alternative for your business.
Groove
Groove provides sales acceleration, management, and intelligence platforms for medium- to large-sized businesses. Groove is also a pretty good option for a smaller business, but ony if you foresee significant growth in the near future because of the higher price point. Their product is easy-to-set up and easy-to-use. Their product is also highly configurable and integrated with most social media platforms and digital tools.
Conclusion
Infusionsoft has great software, but its tools and pricing aren’t always perfect for every business. There are so many options to choose from. There are also a number of solutions that are more expensive than Infusionsoft, but could be worth the price depending on your business’ needs. If your focus is email marketing automation, you can try EngageBay, Ontraport, Sendinblue, or Keap. If your most pressing need is Ecommerce, try Drip or GetResponse. If lead generation is your biggest concern, try Freshsales, Pipedrive, or Arctic PinPoint. If you just need a great all-in-one system, try Mission Suite, Groove, or ActiveCampaign.
