The State of CRM Pricing (2026): What CRMs Actually Charge

Across the 78 CRMs we profile independently, 23 (29%) offer a permanent free plan and 60 publish a specific paid-tier starting price — a median of $30 a month, spanning $7 to $449. The remaining 18 keep their paid pricing off the published page entirely.

Where the prices actually sit

Among the 60 CRMs that publish a specific paid-tier price, the market clusters hard in the $20 – $49 range — 23 of 60 land there. The median is $30/month, from ClickUp CRM at $7 up to Lofty at $449.

Each vendor's own headline "starting from" figure. Units are not normalised — some price per user, some per organisation — so read the table below before comparing two rows directly. The accented band contains the median.

The 18 CRMs missing from that chart split into two genuinely different groups, worth separating: 9 are quote-only with no free plan — enterprise platforms that route you to a sales team — while 9 offer a free plan but simply never state what the paid tier costs.

How we compiled this

Every figure comes from the starting-price and free-plan fields already published — and individually source-checked — on this site's 78 CRM profiles. This page introduces no new pricing claims; it aggregates what is already there, and regenerates whenever that data changes.

Two limits worth stating plainly. Pricing models are not normalised: some vendors charge per user per month, others a flat rate per organisation or workspace, so the distribution above compares headline figures rather than like-for-like costs. And list prices move constantly with region and promotion — treat every number here as directional, and confirm with the vendor before you budget against it.

Every CRM, by starting price

All 78 CRMs we profile, lowest published price first, with the undisclosed-pricing vendors last. Each price is the vendor's own headline figure in their own stated unit.

Reading this as a buyer

Do not budget against the median alone. It mixes per-seat and flat pricing across products as different as a solo contact manager and an enterprise platform, so the useful move is to filter the table to your category and band, then read the profiles for what each tier actually includes. Our guide to what a CRM really costs covers the total-cost factors no price column can show: implementation, migration, add-ons, and the feature gaps between tiers.
