Custom CRM vs Off-the-Shelf

Honest, detailed comparisons between custom CRM and the platforms you're probably evaluating. We tell you where they win, where they lose, and when custom actually makes more sense.

5 Comparisons

Know What You're Choosing

Every CRM platform has strengths. We're not here to trash them. We're here to help you figure out if custom is the right move for your business.

The Honest Take

Custom CRM isn't right for everyone. If you're a solo founder with 50 contacts and a simple sales process, a free HubSpot tier or Pipedrive account is probably fine. We build custom CRM for businesses that have outgrown templates: teams where the generic tool is costing more in workarounds than a purpose-built system would cost to create.
