How we ranked these CRMs

You asked for the cheapest CRM with both features, so we priced the first plan that lists sequences and a shared inbox together. That entry price carries half the score.

How the price grows with your team carries the other half: a flat price scores higher than a per-seat price, and a one-time fee counts against the entry price.

Rival prices come from each vendor's own pricing page, read in September 2026. Disclosure: SalesCrew is our product, and the weights were set before any plan was scored.

How to choose a low-cost CRM with sequences

Price the plan you'd actually need. Entry tiers often list email but save sequences for a higher plan, so compare the first tier that has both.

Then multiply by next year's headcount, not today's. A per-seat plan grows with every hire. SalesCrew Core stays at $299 a month whether five people use it or fifty.

Finally, check how sequences send. SalesCrew cadences go out from your own mailbox pool with per-mailbox and per-domain daily caps, and suppression is checked at freeze and again at send.
