ClearCRM vs Insightly

Choose ClearCRM if your team wants sales, projects, marketing, and customer support in a low-cost team-priced package; choose Insightly if you want per-user CRM licensing and a broader published integration offering. Both vendors currently sell CRM plans and publish enough detail to make this a useful comparison. The main distinction is how they package those capabilities: ClearCRM includes ticketing in its CRM plans and marketing automation from Growth, while Insightly prices its Marketing, Service, and AppConnect products separately from CRM.

The verdict

Pick ClearCRM when a team-sized license and included ticketing matter more than a large integration catalog. Pick Insightly when connections to other business applications and clearly specified CRM record limits are the deciding factors. Compare the exact plans you would buy: ClearCRM’s published team prices are not per-user licenses, and Insightly’s CRM price does not include its separately priced Marketing or Service products.
