The products

Every price is the vendor's own, in rand, with the date it was read, the latest on this list being 11 October 2026. A product is here only where its own pages state it. A product that is not here may still do it: the pages the register read do not say, so ask the vendor and ask to see it work.

Questions to put to the vendor

  • What is the limit that would force you to pay: users, invoices, contacts, projects or features?
  • What does the first paid plan cost in rand, and is VAT in the price?
  • Can you export your data if the vendor changes the free plan?
  • Does the free plan include the South African things you need, such as VAT returns or a bank feed for your bank?

Questions

Is there free CRM software in South Africa?

Yes, where the register lists one. The products on this page start with a free plan on their own pricing pages. Every free plan limits something, so read the limit before you build on it.

Is a free plan the same as a free trial?

No. A free trial gives you the whole product for a short time. A free plan gives you part of the product for as long as the vendor keeps it.
