Is crmzero a real alternative to Salesforce for a 20-person sales team?
Yes. crmzero covers custom funnels, deal qualification (BANT/MEDDIC), forecasting, products/quotes, and enrichment — the core of what most 20-person teams actually use in Salesforce. What you give up is the AppExchange ecosystem and advanced territory management. What you gain is simplicity, speed, and ~90% cost savings.
Does crmzero have a Salesforce import tool?
You can export your Salesforce data as CSV and import it directly into crmzero. We also have a REST API for custom migration scripts.
What features does Salesforce have that crmzero doesn't?
Salesforce has a much larger ecosystem (AppExchange), territory management, advanced CPQ, native email marketing, and custom objects (crmzero has custom objects coming soon). If those are critical to your workflow, Salesforce may still be the right choice.
How does crmzero pricing compare to Salesforce?
Salesforce starts at $25/seat/month for the most basic tier, with most teams paying $75–$165/seat/month for Sales Cloud Professional or Enterprise. crmzero is $10–$20/seat/month for a feature set comparable to Salesforce Professional.
