A complete, affordable sales CRM, a good feature-to-price fit for SMBs, whose most useful features unlock high up the pricing ladder.

Freshsales is Freshworks's sales CRM, the maker of the Fresh suite of tools. It targets sales teams that want a complete but affordable CRM, with in-house AI (Freddy) and a free plan to get started with no commitment.
You manage contacts, accounts, and opportunities in a visual pipeline, automate repetitive tasks (follow-ups, assignment, workflows), and track sales activity through dashboards. AI contact scoring ranks the hottest prospects, sales sequences give prospecting a rhythm, and the Freddy assistant offers suggestions and summaries. Everything connects to the rest of the Freshworks suite (support, marketing) and to third-party tools.
Compared to HubSpot, richer on the marketing side but quick to get expensive, Freshsales is more affordable and sales-focused. Compared to Pipedrive, a simple, effective CRM, it adds more AI and a broader suite. For an SMB looking for a good feature-to-price ratio, it's a solid candidate; large accounts will lean more toward Salesforce or Dynamics 365.
The jump between the Growth plan ($9) and the Pro plan ($39) is significant, and the most useful features (advanced sequences, territories) unlock high up the pricing ladder. The tool covers sales well but remains one piece of a suite: getting its full value means adopting the whole Freshworks ecosystem.
