Capsule CRM keeps you on a single sales pipeline until €28 per user per month. The €15 Starter plan raises your contact limit from 250 to 30,000 but does not add a second pipeline — multiple sales pipelines arrive on Growth, alongside workflow automations and most of the AI suite. If your business sells more than one thing in more than one way, that is the number that matters, not the entry price.
- What it is: A straightforward CRM for small businesses, covering contacts, opportunities, tasks, and light project delivery.
- Best for: Small teams who want a tidy, uncomplicated CRM and can live within one pipeline at the entry tier.
- Pricing: Free for 2 users, Starter €15, Growth €28, Advanced €49 per user monthly on annual billing. Verified July 2026.
- The honest catch: The free plan caps at 250 contacts, which is a genuinely small list.
What Is Capsule CRM?
Capsule is a deliberately uncomplicated CRM: contacts, opportunities, tasks, and — from the mid tier — project boards for delivering the work you win. It has been around long enough to be mature without having accumulated the sprawl that makes larger platforms daunting, and it is rated 4.7 on G2 by its own citation.
The 2026 product leans into AI across the upper tiers — business enrichment, contact enrichment, summaries, and meeting preparation in beta — and Capsule is currently offering early access to Capsule MCP, which would let AI agents work with your CRM data directly. That places it among a small but growing group of business tools shipping agent access rather than talking about it.
Contacts are the meter: 250 free, then 30,000, 60,000, and 120,000.
How Capsule CRM Works
- Priced per user, per month, with a free tier for up to two people.
- Contacts are the primary limit, rising steeply between tiers.
- One sales pipeline on Free and Starter; multiple from Growth.
- The AI suite lands at Growth — enrichment, summaries, and meeting prep.
- Project management arrives at Growth, with boards laddering to 50 on Advanced.
- A 14-day free trial on every paid plan, no card required.
Capsule CRM Pricing
Captured from Capsule’s pricing page in July 2026 on the euro price list with annual billing, which is the page default. Capsule advertises saving up to 26% on annual billing; we were unable to read the monthly rates directly and so quote only the annual figures the cards label as such.
| Plan | Per user/mo | Users | Contacts | Pipelines | AI |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | €0 | Max 2 | 250 | 1 | — |
| Starter | €15 | Unlimited | 30,000 | 1 | Pipeline generator only |
| Growth | €28 | Unlimited | 60,000 | Multiple | Full suite |
| Advanced | €49 | Unlimited | 120,000 | 50 | Full suite |
What actually decides your plan:
- Multiple pipelines start at Growth. Starter’s list of additions is generous — 30,000 contacts, email templates, a shared mailbox, premium integrations with Xero and Zendesk, goals, and an AI pipeline generator — but a second sales pipeline is not among them. A business with two distinct sales motions, or one selling to two segments, needs €28 rather than €15.
- The free plan takes two users, which is unusual. Most free CRM tiers are single-user; Bigin’s is one seat. Two people sharing a CRM at no cost is a real proposition for a founder-and-assistant setup — provided 250 contacts is enough, which for most growing businesses it will not be for long.
- Almost all the AI is on Growth. Starter gets the AI pipeline generator; business enrichment, contact enrichment, summaries, and meeting prep all sit at €28. If AI-assisted prospecting is why you are interested, price from Growth.
- Project management is a Growth feature too. Boards, team and access controls, and advanced reporting all arrive together, which makes Growth a much bigger step in capability than the €13 price gap implies.
- The contact ladder is steep and generous. 30,000 on Starter is far more than most small businesses will ever use, so contacts are unlikely to be what pushes you upward — pipelines and AI will be.
- Compare the entry tier honestly. At €15 for one pipeline and 30,000 contacts, Capsule sits above Bigin at €7 for three pipelines and 50,000 records, and OnePageCRM at €8.95 with unlimited contacts. Capsule’s case rests on interface quality and the project layer rather than on price.
Who Should Use Capsule CRM
- Small teams wanting simplicity. The clearest case — Capsule asks less of you than most CRMs and looks better doing it.
- Two-person businesses. The free tier genuinely supports a pair, which almost no competitor does.
- Services businesses. Project boards from Growth mean you can track delivery as well as sales.
- Xero and Zendesk users. Premium integrations from Starter connect the tools small businesses actually run.
It fits poorly for multi-pipeline sales at a budget, where Bigin gives three pipelines for €7; for very large contact databases, where OnePageCRM’s unlimited model is cheaper; and for marketing automation, where Keap or HubSpot bundle campaigns.
Honest Pros and Cons
Strengths
- A free plan for two users, which is rare in this category.
- Genuinely clean interface, with a 4.7 G2 rating by Capsule’s own citation.
- Generous contact limits — 30,000 from the entry paid tier.
- Project management included from Growth, not sold separately.
- Capsule MCP in early access, ahead of most CRMs on agent support.
- A 14-day trial with no card on every paid plan.
Limitations
- One sales pipeline until €28, on both Free and Starter.
- 250 contacts on the free plan, which is a small list.
- The AI suite requires Growth, not Starter.
- More expensive than close competitors at the entry tier.
- Custom activity types need Growth, and custom milestones need any paid plan.
- Monthly rates are not shown by default, only the annual figures.
Capsule CRM Alternatives and How It Compares
- Bigin by Zoho CRM is markedly cheaper at €7 with three pipelines and 50,000 records, and a stronger free tier for a single user.
- OnePageCRM gives unlimited contacts on every plan from €8.95, built around a next-action method rather than pipelines.
- Pipedrive is the pipeline-first specialist with stronger deal visualisation, at a higher price and with no free tier.
- HubSpot CRM has a free tier with unlimited users, and costs escalate sharply once you add hubs.
- Insightly is the closest match on the sales-plus-projects combination, metering records more aggressively.
- Freshsales and monday CRM are the modern-interface alternatives at comparable cost.

The Verdict
Capsule is a well-made CRM that knows what it is. It does contacts, opportunities, tasks, and — from the middle tier — the projects that follow a won deal, and it does them with an interface that will not intimidate anyone. For a small services business that wants to see both its pipeline and its delivery in one place, that combination is genuinely useful and not especially common at this price.
The gate to check before you buy is pipelines. Both the free plan and the €15 Starter plan give you one sales pipeline. Starter is otherwise a substantial upgrade — 30,000 contacts, shared mailbox, email templates, Xero and Zendesk integrations, goals — but if you sell two different things, or sell to two segments with different stages, you cannot model that until Growth at €28. The same tier also brings workflow automations, project boards, team controls, and the AI suite, so Growth is a much larger step in capability than €13 suggests. Many buyers will find it is the plan they actually needed.
Two other things worth weighing. The free tier takes two users, which is unusual and genuinely useful for a founder plus one — the binding constraint is 250 contacts, not seats. And on price, be clear-eyed: at €15 for one pipeline, Capsule sits above Bigin at €7 for three pipelines and 50,000 records, and above OnePageCRM at €8.95 with unlimited contacts. Capsule’s argument is the quality of the experience and the project layer, not the number on the card — which is a perfectly good argument, provided you know you are making it.
FAQ
How much does Capsule CRM cost?
On the euro price list captured July 2026 with annual billing: Free for up to two users, Starter €15 per user per month, Growth €28, and Advanced €49. Contact limits are 250, 30,000, 60,000, and 120,000 respectively. Capsule advertises saving up to 26% on annual billing; the cards display annual rates by default. All paid plans include a 14-day free trial with no card required.
How many users does Capsule’s free plan allow?
Two. That is unusual — most free CRM tiers allow a single user — and makes Capsule’s free plan genuinely workable for a founder and one colleague. The real constraint is the 250-contact limit and the single sales pipeline, so it suits a very early business rather than one with an established customer list.
Which Capsule plan includes multiple sales pipelines?
Growth, at €28 per user per month on annual billing. Both the Free and Starter plans are limited to one sales pipeline, so a business running two distinct sales processes needs Growth regardless of contact volume. That tier also adds workflow automations, project boards, advanced reporting, team and access controls, and the AI enrichment and summary tools.
What AI features does Capsule CRM include?
Starter includes an AI pipeline generator, which builds a custom sales pipeline from a description. The rest of the suite — AI business enrichment, AI contact enrichment, AI summaries, and AI meeting prep in beta — arrives on Growth at €28. Capsule is also offering early access to Capsule MCP, which would let AI agents interact with CRM data directly.
Is Capsule CRM better than Bigin or OnePageCRM?
It is more expensive and, for many small businesses, better looking and easier to live with. On raw value, Bigin gives three pipelines and 50,000 records for €7 against Capsule’s one pipeline and 30,000 contacts for €15, and OnePageCRM gives unlimited contacts from €8.95. Choose Capsule for interface quality and the built-in project boards; choose the others if pipelines or price are what decide it.

I am thoroughly impressed with this CRM! Easily integrated (like 5 minutes!) and using it with almost every transaction/action in the workplace. Its intuitive interface simplifies workflow, making managing contacts a breeze. They have a great pipeline set up that enables us to manage and organise sales stages. The standout feature, however, is the exceptional customer support. The team was responsive, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to address any queries promptly. Their dedication ensures a seamless experience, setting this CRM apart from the rest. Highly recommend for businesses seeking not only a robust tool but also top-notch support!
I cant see any downsides- it really is brilliant.
Streamlining the workplace CRM process. Weve been shopping around for so long trying to find something that isnt as complicated as the mainstream 'go - to' processes. It also plugs into our Accounting software. Im SO happy.
Capsule assists our employees to keep track of and report on client specific requirements. By setting up simple tracks and tasks you will not forget to follow up with a client re quote acceptance, billing or revisions. We use Capsule daily because it allows for ease of access to important client or job related information. The integration opportunities are amazing, we can easily track correspondence with a client and any interactions whether it be by meeting, email or phonecall. Installing the mobile app is off great assistance when you are on site and need to check up with a client face to face.
I am struggling to download the app on my PC - I only have access to the online app.
In our industry, especially over high season, we are all stretched quite thin with the sheer amount of jobs we have, capsule allows us to set up tasks and note staff allocations especially when you are on site. Having the integration with Outlook Capsule does not miss much.
We have a number of different users and all of them have different skills and needs. It is very simple to use.
We have yet to find anything material to maon about!
It allows us to have a singular view of our sales Pipeline and, mostly working remotely, complete visibility as to where we are with each opportunity. This allows us to dovetail actions and responsibilities across the Commercial team.
It is priced reasonably with intuitive features and UX/UI.
Perhaps the integration with GMail as currently i am using a BCC extension to get my emails to capsule
It helps to manage my ongoing deals with clients and allows my team to have visbility on each deal.
It's intuitive, and incredibly simple to use. There is a richer, more customisable element to it which we've dipped into as and when, and found it always meets our needs with minimum fuss. We've utilised its import facility regularly, and also built out several integrations using its API to enable us to keep track of our contacts, our comms, and also to publish activities to our slack space to harmonise our business development activities. The sales pipeline view has served as a campfire for us - the team rallying around this on our weekly sales catch up to ensure we're all on the same page and that we know where to focus our efforts.
The one challenge we came up against here was when utilising the import feature. It didn't recognise existing contacts as it used email address as a primary key (something we didn't always capture). We raised a helpdesk ticket and received a prompt response with a really helpful workaround, so no harm done here really.
Helping us keep our sales intel fresh and align our business development activities.
My favorite thing about Capsule CRM is the easy layout that is presented. It is simple enough to understand for those who are fairly new to PM!
The price point is a buit above average than competetors.
Capsule CRM is helping my team with their organizational skills when it comes to PM.
Very easy to set up, excellent and timely support, does everything I need it to do. If there's something that looks like it's not supported, the support team are always able to point out how to. The Outlook integration and mobile app are excellent and mean I can interact with the system anywhere.
I have yet to find any - i have yet to find anything I need it can't do.
Centralising our client data needs with a number of very specific data requirements - means we are able to make Capsule our master data store and run all the reporting we need from it. Its interaction handling is particularly good - our need is less about sales than existing customer relationship management, so being able to log interactions and report on them is key. Capsule is excellent at this as its mobile app makes interaction logging simple when on the move, and Outlook integration means contacts and interactions can be created directly from emails with a couple of buttons. The sales functionality is very useful, particularly the ability to create multiple custom sales pipelines, which we use very heavily.
The ease of use of the sales pipeline and the email storing
It would be great if there was a desktop app and if I could store contacts in separate groups, not just tags
Helps me to keep track of what I am doing with potential customers and make sure I don't miss out of opportunities
Capsule has been an amazing additional to our business. It is fully customizable and so user friendly. I have already recommended it to many of my colleagues and associates. The reports and filters makes it easy to get the information out of the CRM you want easily. The fact that I can email directly from the CRM is so valuable to my organisation, keeping all details of customer and driver interactions in an easy to find place. Our business has had it's best every 2 years and Capsule has played an intergrel role in that. On the odd occasion I have had difficulties, the customer support team has been there to assist in a timely and effecient way. Finally the to do list within Capsule, mean it's my go to each morning to get my day organised and focused. My emails are also intregated so all calendar appointments pop up so I never miss a meeting. I have been using Capsule for about 2 years, I use it daily and look forward to continuing to use it for organising my day, my leads, reporting and measuring for the continued success of my business.
I could NOT say any negative about it at this stage. Anything I have wanted to program to do it has easily been able to. Thanks again.
One of the biggest problems Capsule has helped to solve is the measurability of our data. Capsule is easy to customize and therefore we can capture the data we need and after 2 years of using the program we are now generating reports so that we spend money in the areas where we now know will have the greatest impact. So Capsule is honing our sales and lead generation efforts, saving us money and time and cutting our conversion rates dramatically. Furthermore, we use Capsule for retention of both our drivers and customers. When each new driver or customer is set up in Capsule, we simply add some milestones, click on repeat every 3 months, 6 months or 12 months as needed and are then promoted through the to do list on the front dashboard to reach out, celebrate, congratulate and follow up, all leads and existing customers and drivers at regular intervals to add value to them and continue to build strong partnerships
We can see all of our current and past cases, where each case is up to in terms of tasks and all staff members task lists. We can add notes to advise staff of anything they may need to know about the case without them being in the office.
Haven't found anything yet. It's so much better than our previous software. I don't know how we worked without Capsule.
Communication between staff members is easy. We can see all our cases and where they are up to without having to ask management. If we have clients chasing where a case is up to, we can tell them immediately with one quick search on Capsule. I can see my upcoming tasks and therefore work more independantly.
