Third-party reviews

What we like about Salesmate CRM

  • Built-in smart calling, text messaging, and power dialer with automated call logs.
  • Advanced multi-channel sales journeys for automated outreach across email and SMS.
  • Modern, responsive user interface with intuitive pipeline management.
  • Comprehensive sales activity tracking and performance metrics for sales reps.

What we don't like about Salesmate CRM

  • Pricing scales up quickly when accessing advanced automation and calling features.
  • Third-party application marketplace is smaller than leading legacy CRM platforms.
  • Custom reporting builder has a learning curve for complex metric correlations.

Verdict

Salesmate CRM is an AI-powered revenue operating system that unifies contact management, unlimited visual drag-and-drop sales pipelines, marketing automation, and customer support ticketing into a single workspace. Built with integrated omnichannel communications, it features a built-in VoIP system for calling and text messaging across 80+ countries, automated email drip campaigns, lead scoring, and the Skara AI assistant for smart email generation and automated follow-ups. Key pros include highly customizable reporting dashboards, powerful no-code visual workflow builders, a robust mobile app with geolocation tracking, and a native Gmail Chrome extension. However, significant cons include pricing tiers that can scale aggressively as team requirements grow, a steep learning curve due to an interface with over 10 feature tabs, a restriction where advanced features like email sequences and AI tools are locked behind the higher-tier Pro plan ($39/user/month), and limited basic file storage of just 2GB.
