Free AI sales plans: compare the limits, not just the price
A free tier can help you evaluate a workflow, but user limits, credits and upgrade requirements determine whether it will work for your team.
Guide revised October 8, 2026. Tool prices and ratings retain their own verification dates below. This is not an independent product-performance test.
Free plan or temporary trial?
An ongoing free plan and a time-limited trial answer different questions. This page selects tools with a recorded zero-price plan, rather than inferring “free” from promotional wording.
Eligibility and plan availability can change. Check the linked vendor page and the verification date before relying on a free tier.
Check capacity before building around it
Estimate the number of users, records, messages and actions you need per month. Check which of these limits is reached first and what happens next: an upgrade, extra charge or paused workflow.
- Separate included AI credits from data and sending credits.
- Check whether CRM sync, API access and exports require a paid plan.
- Test whether the free tier retains your data when you stop using it.
Budget for the surrounding workflow
A zero subscription price does not include every cost. Domains, mailboxes, data cleanup, integrations and training may still be needed.
Evaluate one process before connecting multiple free tools. Manual transfers and duplicate data can cost more time than the subscription saves.
Tool options and costs
All currently recorded free-plan options are shown alphabetically, without a quality ranking. Free does not mean unlimited or that every AI feature is included.
