What Insightly Actually Offers
Insightly combines CRM functionality with project management and pipeline management. Its pricing page lists US$29 (Plus), US$49 (Professional) and US$99 (Enterprise) per user per month, billed annually, as of October 2026.
Where Insightly Falls Short for a Small Business
Insightly’s project management is built into its CRM; its pricing page does not detail milestones, client approvals or audit trails. At US$29–99/user/month billed annually, a 5-person team would pay US$145–495/month, compared with Crittiks’ flat $99.95/month for up to 8 seats.
How Crittiks Compares
| Crittiks | Insightly | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Flat, $99.95/mo for 8 seats | Per seat, US$29–99/user/month, billed annually |
| Project management depth | Full suite: milestones, approvals, audit trail | Project management built into the CRM |
| E-signature | Built in | Not listed; PandaDoc integration mentioned |
| Team chat | Built in | Not listed |
The Real Cost Difference
A 5-person team on Insightly’s Professional plan (US$49/user/month billed annually) runs US$245/month for CRM and project tracking alone (5 x US$49); across Plus to Enterprise the range is US$145-495/month (5 x US$29 to 5 x US$99), as of October 2026. Crittiks Pro delivers a full CRM, full project suite, and four more suites for $99.95/month flat.
Time Lost Switching Between Tools
Teams that need deeper delivery tooling than Insightly’s built-in project management may run a separate project tool alongside it, which reintroduces tool-switching.
What It Costs at 5, 8, 10 and 15 Users
| Team size | Crittiks (monthly) | Crittiks (annual, per month) | Insightly (US$ per user, listed range) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 users | $99.95 | $79.96 | US$145–US$495 |
| 8 users | $99.95 | $79.96 | US$232–US$792 |
| 10 users | $115.95 | $92.76 | US$290–US$990 |
| 15 users | $139.95 | $111.96 | US$435–US$1,485 |
The Insightly column multiplies the per-user range quoted earlier in this post (as listed by Insightly, in the currency shown, not converted) by team size, and covers that one tool only. Crittiks figures are as published at crittiks.com/pricing. Crittiks figures include all six suites; Pro covers up to 8 seats, extra seats are $8 a month, and Platinum covers up to 15. List prices change and vendor discounts vary, so treat this as a guide and check current pricing on both sites.
Who Should Choose Insightly, and Who Should Choose Crittiks
Insightly fits best when its specialist strengths are central to your business and you are happy to run it alongside other tools.
Crittiks fits best when you are a small service team, roughly 4 to 25 people, who want sales, projects, e-signature, communications, finance and AI on one client record at a predictable price. For one to three users with a single need, a point tool is often cheaper. If you need ERP-level inventory or manufacturing, neither tool is the answer on its own.
A Switching Checklist: Moving From Insightly to Crittiks
- Export contacts, companies, deals, notes and files from Insightly.
- Decide which stale records to leave behind before importing.
- Map Insightly pipeline stages to Crittiks pipeline stages.
- Reconnect your mailbox so conversation history attaches to client records.
- Run the two systems side by side on a few live deals before switching fully.
Crittiks has a built-in migration tool with a preview-before-you-commit step. For help with a specific source, contact support@crittiks.com.
