Pure pipeline sales teams (Pipedrive better), buyers wanting modern UX (Folk/HubSpot better), or budget-conscious solopreneurs (Capsule/LACRM cheaper).
Solopreneurs and very small businesses (1-10 employees) wanting CRM + email marketing + payments consolidated in one platform.
Why we say this
Editorial pulled these weaknesses from Keap’s product card in our Top 10 Small Business CRM Software for 2026:
- ! Pricing meaningful ($249-$299/mo entry)
- ! Steep learning curve
- ! Rebrand from Infusionsoft confused some buyers
- ! Per-contact pricing scales fast
- ! UI dated relative to modern competitors
