Use when

You're managing a sales pipeline, tracking deals, or want a central place for all customer interactions across your team.

Skip when

You're pre-sales and don't yet have enough leads to justify a CRM. A simple spreadsheet is fine until you hit ~20 active leads.

Fully accessible globally with no regional restrictions. The free CRM tier is genuinely unlimited - no expiry or contact cap.
