Which plan to pickStart free: it's good enough for a founder or a team of three to run their contacts and deals. Plus suits a small team that just needs more room. Go Pro once you want call recording, sequences or proper reporting, and use the 14-day Pro trial to check it's worth it.Growth is the plan most small teams should start on, because Lite has no proper email sync or automations. Move to Premium if you want web forms and lead scoring without paying for add-ons. Prices exclude tax and vary by country.
