What is the best CRM alternative for a small team?
The one your team will actually keep using. For teams of 1–5 that usually means fast setup, flat pricing, and no features you pay for but never touch. nrtur starts at $12 a month with a synced mailbox included, and reporting on every plan.
Why do "cheap" CRMs often cost more later?
Low sticker prices frequently leave out automations, email sync, or reporting — you add them back as paid tiers or extra apps. Compare the all-in price for the features you will actually use, not the entry price.
Can I switch CRMs without losing my data?
Yes. Exporting contacts, deals, and notes as CSV and importing them takes most small teams under an hour. Our migration guides walk through it source by source.
