About Freshsales

Freshsales packs a lot into a low price. It is one of the few CRMs with a built-in phone and dialler, so sales teams can call contacts without a separate tool, and Freddy AI handles lead scoring and email drafting on paid plans.

A free plan for up to 3 users makes it easy to trial, and the entry paid tier is among the cheapest here. The integration library and reporting depth trail the larger platforms, and prices are set in US dollars.

Freshsales was founded in 2010 and is headquartered in Chennai, India.
