A CRM might look affordable when you start with one or two users. As your team grows, per user pricing can quickly turn a modest monthly subscription into a significant recurring expense. Higher pricing tiers can then introduce additional costs for functionality, storage, automation, contacts or reporting.

A CRM advertised at $40 per user per month might not sound particularly expensive, you may find yourself only needing a few features but heck, that's okay it's just 40 bucks for you as a single user. Here's the kicker, you're paying at least $480 per year for a CRM you probably don't fully use, add just one user and that doubles - if you're thriving, 10x that and those costs really do begin to skyrocket:

$40 × 1 user = $40 per month
$40 × 10 users = $400 per month
$40 × 20 users = $800 per month
$800 × 12 months = $9,600 per year

Don't get me wrong, this isn't a war against the concept of a CRM but lets face it, they are boring and the main reason for using one is transparency across leads, deals and contacts. Sure, some automation matters but many CRM's don't automate well and cost even more for bolt-on features.

SheetsCRM takes a different approach.

SheetsCRM is a serverless CRM powered by Google workspace that gives businesses a dedicated desktop application for managing customers, leads and sales while keeping the underlying CRM data inside Google Drive.

You can manage contacts, build sales pipelines, send emails because Gmail is built in out of the box, schedule meetings, create Google Meet appointments, track customer activity and work collaboratively with your team. There are no ongoing SheetsCRM subscription fees, no per user fees and no artificial limits on the number of CRM databases you can create.

Instead of replacing Google Sheets, SheetsCRM uses it as the underlying data layer and provides a dedicated CRM interface for working with that information. You get the accessibility and flexibility of Google Sheets with the structure and usability expected from dedicated customer relationship management software with the benefits of Google Workspace tools to compliment all of the functions - like the native google calendar that works in the app.

Let's face it, most people would prefer working from a spreadsheet anyway, this is just the same thing but on steroids - buy it, own it and share it freely with your team, there are no monthly subscriptions.

Some might view it as a basic tool, but in honesty it has everything a CRM should have at its core and receives free unlimited upgrades. It's worth a look if you're transitioning from a spreadsheet to a CRM or just need a CRM without the ongoing overhead.

What about FREE CRM Software?

Many CRM systems are free or cost under $10 per month to get started. They often monetize your account by restricting features, such as limiting your data storage or email volume, until you upgrade. However, if your current setup works and you are comfortable with where your data is hosted, there is no need to fix what isn't broken.
