Insightly Review and verdict 2026

CRM with native project management built in — won opportunities turn into projects.

From 10€/mo.

Our take

Understanding Insightly.

Insightly differentiates itself by integrating project management directly into the CRM: a won opportunity automatically becomes a tracked project with Kanban and Gantt, with no transfer to a separate tool. SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA certifications make it a relevant choice for healthcare, finance, or consulting.

The real weak point: no email sequencing on any plan — you need a separate tool (Outreach, Salesloft) for outbound prospecting, and support is rated only 2.1/5 on Trustpilot. The real price often rises to 2-3x the sticker rate once needed features are added.

Practical uses

Pros and cons

What Insightly does especially well — and the limits to anticipate.

AI Copilot automates repetitive tasks.
AppConnect lets you create workflows without code.
14-day free trial for all plans.
Transparent pricing tailored for SMBs.
Native integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier.

Cons

No free plan (trial limited to 14 days).
Pricing can escalate with many users.

Insightly: when it makes sense.

Insightly excels for SMBs wanting an all-in-one CRM with marketing automation and support; for large orgs, Salesforce is better.

Keep if

You manage sales, projects, and customer support simultaneously.. You prefer one unified platform over juggling tools.

Insightly becomes worthwhile when

You use it at least once a week
The monthly cost (€10) is small next to the time it saves you

Challenge if

You want a free or very cheap plan.. You only need simple sales CRM.

Insightly becomes too expensive when

You use it less than once a month
A simple free version or a tool already in your stack would do
