Considered Both Products
LeadSquared
Chose LeadSquared
LeadSquared is a dedicated Sales CRM. Earlier we were using Freshdesk for sales following a ticket based model which was highly inconvenient as all customer activity used to get created as a separate ticket and overall effort tracking was a mess. With the Lead and Activity …
Chose LeadSquared
We were searching for a CRM which was customizable according to our requirements and we tried with a lot of tools but this application has really worked out for us.
Chose LeadSquared
Flexibility and readiness to upgrade as per client's requirement. Support is at its best - The team, including people like Pratheek, is just amazing to work with. This totally reflects the company's work culture and the ethics they operate under. They have a client first …
Chose LeadSquared
LeadSquared is able to provide very important and informative reports and dashboards which is something we were looking for a long time and LeadSquared gave us all the things that we need. This is the main reason we selected LeadSquared against other alternatives.
Chose LeadSquared
The decision to go with LedSquared is three fold
  1. Flexible and easily adaptable to your use case.
  2. Quick and easy to integrate and get going
Chose LeadSquared
Its just because the team was approachable , this is one very good point
Just a call and sms away are the team for support.
Chose LeadSquared
LeadSquared is easier to use and much less expensive. The cost of onboarding (time and expense) is less than that of competitors. It's intuitive ease of use does not require one to have super in depth knowledge. There was much less risk going with LS compared to competitors …
Chose LeadSquared
It satisfied our key metrics of features and recurring costs.
Chose LeadSquared
Zoho is not customizable, and Capillary could not deliver technically. Kapture - Bad experience in project management.
Chose LeadSquared
Much more cost-effective than the other solutions on this list. Hubspot's A/B testing and email marketing library is much better, but not needed when you compare costs.
Chose LeadSquared
We tried integrating Zoho CRM but couldn't integrate it well and get our agents to use it. So, we looked at many other options and finalized on LeadSquared.
Chose LeadSquared
Simple to use - Intensive training is not required
Best in class interfaces - intuitive and responsive
Responsive web design templates are available
Chose LeadSquared
I looked closely at Infusionsoft. While the nurturing/decision tree tool of Infusionsoft was far more sophisticated, the many negative reviews of Infusionsoft lead me to look elsewhere. Leadsquared had very positive reviews and aggressive pricing. It has less features, but the …
Chose LeadSquared
As mentioned before LeadSquared is the best platform I have used for its features and usability and in the levels of support you receive.
Chose LeadSquared
We have to use ZOHO for CRM, AWeber or Get Response for auto responders and LeadPages for landing pages. LeadSquared is the complete package in one place. It saves time and improves quality and productivity.
Chose LeadSquared

According to me LeadSquared is a complete package for any one who does marketing and needs to manage multiple leads from different sources, and I am one of them. I felt LeadSquared was the best platform for me to work on without facing any difficulties.

So I started using …

Chose LeadSquared
It's most effective and less expensive.
Chose LeadSquared
The only Product we used and using "LeadSquared"
Chose LeadSquared
I moved from MailChimp to LeadSquared. Primarily because I wanted landing pages and email marketing in one software. Plus I wanted more advanced ways of segmenting customers and data based triggering of autoresponders.
Chose LeadSquared
When it comes to Marketing Automation, LeadSquared wins hands-down in terms of features. They also have a very friendly support team who go that extra mile to make the customer happy.
Salesmate
Chose Salesmate
I haven't used any other CRM, but from what I've heard from other's that have, other CRM's are much more expensive and they don't offer the sale level of customer support that Salesmate does.
Chose Salesmate
Salesmate was a good trade-off in pricing, features and possibilites: we started with a very simple pipeline management and then we slowly added some new features that we were already paying for in the basic/pro level. No need to upgrade to higher cost solutions to have full …
Chose Salesmate
Salesmate is more individualised and significantly more impactful for the individual user whereas Salesforce is better at reporting and more applicable for upper management rather than daily use and workflow management.
Chose Salesmate
I did brief this at the start itself. Salesmate is a simple tool, which is easy to understand, easy to navigate, easy to automate your own process, easy to configure and execute things without manually feeding it everything with all details. The simple point is - Email Outlook …
Chose Salesmate
I was using the free version of Hubspot, which was extremely limiting. If I wanted to go ahead and unlock a simple feature, which every other CRM offered, my price would shoot up to hundreds of dollars a month for no reason, as they force you to unlock “all the features” not …
Chose Salesmate
Salesmate is head and shoulders above these other systems when you weigh the price to features. Salesmate is simple to navigate and is packed with useful everyday features; all included at the same price. The standard features in Salesmate are additional or nonexistent features …
Chose Salesmate
Salesmate is way better at keeping organized, creating call lists, and keeping track of won and lost deals. I spent years trying to organize blitz to no avail and that's why we made the move to Salesmate.
Chose Salesmate
I am fairly decent with computers but I don't like dealing with things that are overly complicated. I loved Salesmate because it had all of the features we needed to manage clients, but not a bunch of extra stuff you never use. Customization of the system was easy and it didn't …
Chose Salesmate
Salesmate is more user-friendly than the above. We enjoy the simplistic functions rather than too many moving parts that confuse our staff. Salesmate keeps all of the important features that you would look for in a CRM. However, if you are looking for more features you can …
Chose Salesmate
In our quest to streamline our sales effort and consolidate our siloed data, we evaluated various CRM's out there in the market and zeroed on to Salesmate, some of the features we really liked, are the
Chose Salesmate
The mobile feature is not available with Creatio Manual dialing with Freshsales CRM no power dialer Customizable but fairly detailed (more focused on quotation management) Knowledge base not available with Mothernode
Chose Salesmate
I can't even remember them all. It simply blows them out of the water. I'm not being paid for this. It's the best I've found for my business.
Chose Salesmate
Very similar in overall layout and user experience...but the features blow these others out of the water. Where alternative solutions had features either lacking or as an upgrade (ie having to spend an extra $10-$30/month/user) Salesmate has these features out-of-the-box.
Chose Salesmate
Every call, chat and email creates a support ticket which is usually 24-48 hours for a response. I accomplished more with Salesmate support than I did with a month of the entire Fresh Works Suite. Also - all components are separate with Freshworks i.e. contacts to not sync …
Chose Salesmate
We've only been using Salesmate as long as I've been employed.
Chose Salesmate
I have looked at trial versions of most of the major CRM's most of which did NOT have a VOIP component. The ones that did poorly worked and were buggy. I extensively looked at Bitrix24 (lacks certain functionality), worked with LessAnnoyingCRM integrated with SIMPLII VOIP …
Chose Salesmate
Compared to Hubspot, Salesmate just provides so much more for less. It misses some of the marketing stuff that Hubspot has but personally I never needed them because I use a different software for that anyway.

Leadsquared is well suited for small to medium-sized enterprises where the team is small and you have a lot of areas to explore. Every team can have their suites/ accounts customised accordingly. I am not sure if I can compare it for bigger enterprises but I feel this best of best to get your work done more efficiently.

Salesmate gives us everything we need as a small business, with a clear interface, and can adapt to any business. If I was being ultra picky, I would perhaps suggest the ability to remove or hide certain modules not applicable to our niche, e.g., we are a B2C business, so the company module is not really useable for us, but this is not a negative by any means.

Pros
  • Call history is recorded like dialed calls, connected calls, total talktime in a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and on a custom basis.
  • The activity history of both customers, and employees are shown clearly, which help us a lot in understanding the interest of the customer, and their communication history with the organization.
  • Daily attendance history and man-days management can be done.
  • Sales performance and their values are mapped clearly.

  • For each client, it tracks emails, text messages, activities, files, calendar events, phone calls, to-do items.
  • Customization is quite good -- you add fields you need. Like was discovery received, full payment, partial payment, etc. You can later run reports.
  • Integration with other apps is good; I use QuickBooks and DocuSign.
  • Customer service is very good.

Cons
  • LeadSquared is a little bit expensive compared to other slimmer products, so they need to think about it.
  • Sometimes LeadSquared gets stuck when I use it to run a large campaign, I would like them to improve this.
  • LeadSquared creates a problem in slow internet connections, so I guess this is also an improvement area for them.
Read full review
  • The search feature can be buggy and does not allow for highlighted text to be typed on. You must clear the box or hit backspace before typing. The only app in my life that does this.
  • The dashboard button is pointless if it still makes you choose between legacy or classic.

Likelihood to Renew
It is an excellent value for money solution and is fulfilling all our needs quite efficiently. They keep working on the product and each month sees an update allowing for a bug free experience and faster incorporation of newer tools. I see no reason why I would not like to renew the subscription for this fabulous product.

Very happy with the customer service and the overall functionality of the program. With new features always being launched and discussed I'm looking fwd to growing with them

Usability
1. The learning curve is not too steep; it is fairly simple. The UI albeit old looking, is fairly simple. 2. It has a lot of integrated apps using which you can directly access other systems under a single umbrella. 3. Processes and permission templates allow for role based access, thereby further simplifying the system by removing unnecessary element with respect to a specific group

The platform is incredibly robust while maintaining a clean appearance. This allows you to see exactly what you need at any given time without being overwhelmed. The ability to customize your dashboard easily allows you to see the information that is most relevant to your operations and needs.

Great to work with and also Easy to work with Do not just listen to the problem but provide upfront solutions Always available and are ready to support on holidays Considerate of user's knowledge and always ready to explain the smallest / dumbest doubt a user can ask Always available to help with the internal tasks as well like creating automations, drip creations etc

Fantastic - always reply in a reasonable amount of time, usually with a simple fix. The support website is very handy, but often you will likely have 'niche' questions - to which the team are all to happy to help with. For larger issues, we have had to lodge tickets with tech, but to date, every issue we have had has been resolved. Very happy with the support and service.
