What does a custom CRM cost for a small business?

A CRM is simply one place to keep track of your customers — who they are, what they bought, and who needs a call back. Here's how the costs really compare.

Option 1: pay a monthly subscription

Big-name CRMs charge per person, per month. It looks cheap at first, but with a team of five on a mid-level plan the bill adds up year after year — and you often pay for lots of features you never use while missing the one you need.

Option 2: a CRM built for you

A custom CRM is built around the way you already work. You pay mainly for the build, then a small running cost. It does exactly what you need, nothing more — and it's yours.

What changes the price

  • How many different screens and jobs it needs to handle
  • Whether it links to things you already use (email, accounts, card payments)
  • Moving in your existing customer lists and spreadsheets
  • Phone app, web, or both
