About Freshsales
Freshsales is the sales CRM from Freshworks, the company behind Freshdesk. It bundles contact and deal management with a built-in phone dialer, email sync and templates, chat, sequences and lead scoring, so a small team can run outreach without stitching together separate tools. Freddy, Freshworks' AI layer, adds deal insights and forecasting on higher tiers. It is generally easier to learn than Salesforce or Zoho CRM and costs less than HubSpot's paid editions, and it connects naturally to Freshdesk for teams that also run support. The downsides are fewer integrations than the biggest players, reporting that some users find rigid, and AI and document features sold as add-ons. Pricing is per user per month across Growth, Pro and Enterprise plans with a 21-day free trial; there is currently no free plan listed on the pricing page. It runs in the browser with iOS and Android apps. It suits small and mid-sized businesses that want calling and email in one place.
Best for: SMB sales teams that want calling, email and chat built into the CRM.
