Ecosystem and integrations

Marketplace
Modest marketplace covering the mainstream tools
Key native integrations
Gmail and OutlookSlackQuickBooksZoomZapier
UK implementation partners
None. A US product, self-implemented.
06

Customisation and extensibility

Configurable without developers
  • Custom fields and multiple pipelines
  • Automated pipeline stage actions
  • Custom report building
  • Email templates and sequences
Where the ceiling sits
Low to moderate. Adequate for straightforward B2B selling, restrictive beyond it.
07

Implementation reality

Typical time to value
1 - 3 weeks
Is self-implementation realistic?
Yes.
Migration considerations
Simple imports with good field mapping. Email marketing history does not travel well.
08

Support and success

Included as standard
Email and chat on all plans, well rated for a product at this price
Costs extra
Onboarding assistance on higher tiers
Documentation and community
Practical documentation. Small but helpful community.
09

Scalability and lock-in

Behaviour as you grow
Comfortable to around 50 seats. Marketing contact limits usually bite before user limits do.
How hard it is to leave
Low. Clean exports; email campaign history stays behind.
10

Strengths and watch-outs

Strengths
  • Simple, honest pricing
  • Email marketing included rather than bolted on
  • Well-rated support for the price
Watch-outs
  • Limited customisation
  • Small ecosystem
  • Little AI capability
11

Bottom line for an SME

A tidy, unpretentious option for small B2B teams. Unremarkable, and that is largely the point.
