Decision checklist
Kylas is a sales CRM from an Indian team, focused on lead capture, pipeline management and sales communication. The paid plan connects email, SMS, WhatsApp and telephony so reps can work leads without leaving the CRM.
Kylas does not charge per user. Embark is free with unlimited users and 10,000 records. Elevate is a flat monthly fee with 100,000 records and all communication channels, billed quarterly or longer. Exceed is custom and adds support and a far higher record limit.
Kylas is a good fit for Indian businesses with large sales teams, such as real estate or education, where per-seat CRMs get expensive. If calling is the centre of your process, compare telecrm.
Starting price: Free (Embark plan); Elevate is a flat monthly fee on request. Model: Flat fee with unlimited users; billed quarterly, half-yearly or annually.
