InvestorFuse now sells under the CarrotCRM name, from $147 a month plus a setup fee, and its strength is guided onboarding and outreach sequencing. XtremeCRM is $9.99 a month, sets itself up, and expects you to bring your own outreach.

If you want somebody to set the system up with you and stay on the phone while your team learns it, that is what the setup fee buys and we do not offer an equivalent at any price. Their outreach sequencing is also a real feature we deliberately do not have: our automations create tasks and schedule follow-ups for your team, they do not send campaigns to sellers. A team that wants the CRM and the outbound in one place should not buy ours.
The free plan covers 20 leads and 5 buyers. No card, and your data exports as CSV whenever you want it back.
Start freeTheir pricing page shows CarrotCRM plan names, so the product is being sold under that brand. Check with them directly about what that means for an existing account - we can only report what their public page says.
No. Automations create tasks, set stages, apply tags, start follow-up schedules and assign round-robin to your team. Outbound to sellers happens in whatever tool you use for it.
Neither. The free plan needs no card, and paid is month to month at $9.99 or annual at $59.99.
Minutes. You get a default pipeline and lead sources on signup, and you can import a CSV straight away.
