Seeking alternative CRM with reliable email tracking for small contact list

Hey everyone,

I’m in a bit of a pickle with my current CRM setup. The email tracking feature is causing some issues with Gmail, flagging my messages as potential spam. It’s a real headache!

I’ve got about 1000 contacts and I’m looking for a free CRM that won’t give me these email problems. Right now, I’m using one that works well with Jotform and Pabbly, but the email tool is just not cutting it anymore.

Has anyone found a good CRM that:

  1. Is free for around 1000 contacts
  2. Has reliable email tracking that doesn’t trigger spam warnings
  3. Plays nice with other tools like form builders

I’ve tried tweaking settings in my current setup, but no luck so far. Any suggestions would be super helpful! Thanks in advance, folks!

I’ve been using Freshsales CRM for about a year now, and it’s been a game-changer for my small business. The free tier covers up to 1000 contacts, which sounds perfect for your needs. Their email tracking is solid - I’ve never had issues with spam filters, and it integrates seamlessly with Gmail.

What I really love is how it works with other tools. I use it with Typeform for lead capture, and the integration is smooth. The interface is intuitive, so you won’t waste time figuring things out.

One thing to note - the free version has some limitations on advanced features, but for basic CRM needs and reliable email tracking, it’s been more than sufficient. Might be worth giving it a shot if you’re looking for a change.

I’ve had great success with Bitrix24 for my small business needs. It offers a free plan that accommodates up to 5000 contacts, which is more than enough for your requirements. The email tracking feature is robust and hasn’t triggered any spam flags in my experience. It integrates well with various form builders and other tools, making it quite versatile.

One standout feature is its comprehensive set of tools beyond just CRM, including project management and communication features. This could be beneficial if you’re looking to streamline more aspects of your business. The interface can be a bit overwhelming at first due to the numerous features, but once you get used to it, it’s quite powerful.

Just be aware that the free version has some limitations, but it should cover your basic CRM and email tracking needs effectively.

have u tried hubspot? its free for up to 1m contacts and has pretty good email tracking. i use it for my small biz and havent had any spam issues. it also integrates with tons of other tools. might be worth checkin out if u haven’t already!

I’ve had success with Zoho CRM for my small business. It offers a free plan that should accommodate your contact list size. The email tracking feature is quite reliable and hasn’t triggered any spam flags in my experience. Zoho also integrates well with various form builders and other tools. One caveat: the free version has some limitations, but it might be sufficient for your needs. I’d recommend giving it a trial run to see if it fits your workflow. Just be prepared for a bit of a learning curve if you’re switching from another system.

hey mandy, have u checked out insightly? its got a free plan for up to 2500 contacts. the email tracking works great for me, no spam issues. it connects with lots of form builders too. might be worth a look! just remember the free version has some limits, but could work for ur needs.
