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.
Square Customers
Chose Square Customers
Square has multiple tools in one - marketing, sales, and CRM. It isn't as robust as some other CRM platforms, so if that is your main need, you might look into other options. But if you just need to keep basic data on clients, this is a great way to go!
Chose Square Customers
The only other service similar to Square I have any interaction with is PayPal here, it works in a very similar manner, and at the time had the same exact fee schedule. It has the added perk of going directly into your PayPal account if this is a service you use a lot of for …

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.

Square is absolutely brilliant if you are just starting out and your business has both an in-person and an online component to it, as Square will solve both in-person POS and online booking/billing. Square also offers the option to create a free website for your company, though it is a very basic site, if you don't have a website yet, this is a VERY helpful option, as it takes away a huge cost. Square allowed us to be up and running in no time, taking away the need to worry about an expensive appointment-setting add-on from our current website provider (Square integrates quite nicely with our current site). Square is probably less ideal for more advanced users or companies with a need for more detailed inventory/service management. But even then, Square will more than likely be able to get the job done!

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.

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.

  • Inability to transfer funds to bank in real time (PayPal offers this option, for a fee)
  • The option to create a website on Square is very limited. We opted to integrate the Square appointment setting tool into our site, as the site Square offered was subpart.
  • Google calendar integration is now a premium feature, and it used to be included!

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.

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

Have not had to use their support. I've read a help article that worked to provide the answer for that particular question but I haven't had to reach out to a live person.

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 model, tracking became much easier and yes, Freshdesk is a support tool and Freshsales does exist but LeadSquared fulfilled our usecase at a much lesser price.

Return on Investment
  • Lead leakage stopped, positively impacting the CPL.
  • Customized Lead Stages helped the sales team to have a better follow up thus improving the conversion rates.
  • Automations and Drip implementation helped in drawing direct/indirect conversions from dormant leads - Adding to LTV of a customer.
Read full review
  • This has allowed me to accept credit / debit transactions without having to have a monthly subscription to a service and lose money on times of no to little use, allowing me to have a broader customer range as checks are risky.
  • All of my initial equipment was free and there were no startup costs so my return was immediate.
  • The small fee taken out of the transaction is very much worth the ability to accept nearly all plastic transactions.
