About Freshsales

Freshsales is the sales CRM from Freshworks. It combines contact and deal tracking with built-in calling, email and chat, so reps can reach prospects without separate tools.

Growth is commonly listed from $9 per user per month on annual billing, with higher tiers adding sequences and advanced analytics. It appeals to budget-conscious small sales teams that want communication features included.

The main benefit is having phone and email in the same record as the deal. Test call quality and cost in your target countries, since communication usage may be billed separately, and check that the plan you need includes sequences and the reports your managers expect.

At a glance, Freshsales offers Contact and deal management, Built-in phone and email, Freddy AI, Sales sequences, Lead scoring and more. It is best suited to small sales teams wanting built-in communication on a budget, and a weaker fit for large enterprises with complex process needs. Published plans are summarised in the pricing section below, and prices should be confirmed on the vendor site before purchase.
