The short answer
- SalesCrew costs $299 a month on Core, or $2,990 a year, with unlimited seats on every tier.
- A per-seat CRM's monthly cost is its seat rate multiplied by the number of people who log in, so the bill rises every time you add a user.
- AI calls, SMS, calling minutes and enrichment credits are often metered on top of the base price, and that meter is where a quote turns into a bigger bill.
- Before you compare two CRM prices, work out each one at your real headcount, then at the headcount you expect in a year.
The seat model decides the bill
Every CRM pricing page leads with one number per tier. What that number means depends on the seat model behind it. A per-seat CRM charges for each user, so the total grows with your team. A flat CRM charges one price for the account, and adding a person costs nothing.
That's why a low "starting at" price can mislead. It's almost always the smallest plan at one seat. Multiply it by your headcount before you compare it with anything. Then do it again for next year's team, because most small businesses hire into their CRM, not out of it.
SalesCrew's monthly cost by team size
Core tier, billed monthly. Seats are unlimited on every tier, so the price doesn't move with headcount.
| Team size | SalesCrew Core per month | Per-seat CRM per month |
|---|---|---|
| 1 user | $299 | 1 × the seat rate |
| 5 users | $299 | 5 × the seat rate |
| 10 users | $299 | 10 × the seat rate |
| 25 users | $299 | 25 × the seat rate |

What else ends up on the bill
The base price is rarely the whole bill. AI drafting, summaries and scoring, SMS, calling minutes and enrichment credits are often billed on top, on flat and per-seat plans alike. Ask every vendor three things about each meter: the unit price, the allowance included, and what happens at the cap.
SalesCrew answers all three on the pricing page. Core includes a fair-use AI allowance of about 5,000 model calls a month. You get an alert at 80% and a hard stop at 100% for AI only, and manual work never stops. A top-up is $10 per 1,000 credits. With your own Anthropic key (BYOK, +$99 a month), AI calls don't touch the allowance.

Questions
- How much does a CRM cost per month for a small business?
- A small business CRM costs its per-seat rate times your headcount, plus anything metered on top, or one flat price if seats are unlimited. SalesCrew is $299 a month on Core with unlimited seats, so a team of 5 or 25 pays the same. Check each vendor's pricing page for its current per-seat rate.
- Why do two CRMs with the same sticker price cost so differently?
- The seat model multiplies one price and not the other. A per-seat plan grows every time you hire, while a flat plan stays put. The tier name, such as Starter or Pro, rarely tells you which model you're looking at.
- What is metered on top of a CRM's monthly price?
- The usual meters are AI model calls, SMS, calling minutes and enrichment credits. On SalesCrew, AI runs on a fair-use allowance of about 5,000 model calls a month on Core, and a top-up is $10 per 1,000 credits.
- Is there an annual discount?
- SalesCrew Core is $2,990 a year, compared with $299 a month billed monthly. Registered nonprofits get 40% off any tier on an annual term.
