What EngageBay does

EngageBay bundles a CRM, email marketing, landing pages, marketing automation and a helpdesk with live chat. It is aimed at small businesses that would otherwise pay for HubSpot-style tools separately.

How the pricing works

The All-in-One Suite is priced per user, with discounts for yearly and two-year billing. The real constraint is contacts: Basic stops at 500 and Growth at 5,000, so a business with a large list and a small team can outgrow a plan quickly.

Where it fits

EngageBay suits small teams that want one login for marketing and sales. If your priority is a stronger sales pipeline and sequences, compare Salesmate; if you want unlimited users on a flat fee, look at Kylas.

Starting price: Free; paid from $12.74/user/month (biennial). Model: Per user, per month; cheaper on yearly and two-year billing.
