Why people pick it
  • Low entry price per user
  • Phone and email in one place
  • Unlimited users and contacts on every plan
  • CRM, funnels, email, SMS, booking and reviews in one login
Where it falls short
  • Reports are thin on lower tiers
  • Many features need Pro
  • Texts, calls, emails and AI billed on top from a prepaid wallet
  • Agency-first: a single business pays for sub-accounts and setup it may not need
