Capsule CRM

Pros

• People, organisations and opportunities are separate records that can be linked to each other, which reviewers say keeps relationship data organised.
• Reviewers say it is easy to learn: it scores 4.7 out of 5 on G2 from over 500 reviews and 4.6 for ease of use on Capterra.
• The free plan covers 2 users and 250 contacts, and paid plans include a 14-day trial with no card required.
• It has native integrations with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Xero, QuickBooks, Mailchimp and Zapier, plus API access.
• Security basics such as two-factor authentication, Google and Microsoft single sign-on, and a 30-day restore of deleted records are included.

Cons

• Workflow automation, advanced reports and AI features start at the $40 Growth plan, which makes the full feature set fairly costly per user.
• Reviewers say export and query functions are limited, and some want more options for custom fields.
• Email and social marketing campaigns require a separate product, Transpond, rather than being built into the CRM.
• Some reviewers say it lacks sophistication for broader business needs and fits B2C businesses poorly.

CloudTalk

Pros

• Dialer range from click-to-call up to a 10-line parallel dialer suits high-volume outbound sales.
• More than 95 native CRM and helpdesk integrations, plus API, webhooks and an MCP server, from the Essential tier.
• Low entry price of 25 EUR per user annually, and a 14-day trial with no credit card.
• The AI Receptionist includes 50 minutes at no cost and handles inbound calls 24/7 in more than 70 languages.
• Reviewers frequently praise call quality and an intuitive interface (G2 4.4/5).

Cons

• Power dialer, parallel dialer, conversation intelligence and AI agents are paid add-ons, so the real seat cost climbs.
• The Starter plan has no integrations or API, and keeps recordings for only one month.
• Reviewers report occasional glitches, dropped calls and app bugs.
• Support response is inconsistent according to some reviewers.
• US and Canada customers pay an extra 11% compliance recovery fee, and no refunds are given for partial periods.
