Project management, CRM and business software for small business, compared on real pricing by team size, with free scorecards and cost tables.

Business software for small business, priced honestly

Software reviews tend to quote the cheapest per-seat price and skip the fine print: seat minimums, annual-only billing, the one feature you need locked two tiers up. The guides here recalculate what tools actually cost for 1, 5, 10 and 25 users, and say which limit will force an upgrade.

For project management, start with the best project management software for small business, compared by team size. If you also track clients and deals, the guide to CRM with project management weighs one tool against two. Tight budget? The free business management software guide builds a stack that costs nothing and names the limit on each free plan.

Prices change. Each guide shows the month it was checked, and the free scorecards and cost tables let you redo the maths for your own team before you commit.
