    About

    Understanding Capsule.

    Capsule organizes contacts, sales pipeline, and projects in a deliberately simple interface, without enterprise CRM complexity, with a free plan already covering 250 contacts and 2 users.

    Its real weakness: no two-way email sync on any plan, even the most expensive at $72/month — you need to BCC an address to get emails into the CRM, while most competitors at this price handle it natively.

    Practical uses

    • Manage a client portfolio for a small sales agency.
    • Automate prospect tracking in a sales pipeline.
    • Centralize email communication historyCustomers.
