Introducing Act CRM SAS: A Comprehensive Guide
What Is Act CRM SAS?
Hi ladies and gentlemen, this is Tony Holowitz, and I want to take you through a tutorial on Act CRM SAS. SAS stands for Software as a Service. In October of 2020, Act introduced this new software option. Ax CRM is a self-serve platform, meaning you can do everything yourself without involving your IT department.
Three Different Options: Essentials, Standard, and Expert
Ax CRM comes with three different options:
- Essentials
- Standard
- Expert
These options are billed annually, with monthly costs ranging from 15 to 45. Here’s a brief comparison:
| Option | Annual Price | Emails Per Month |
|---|---|---|
| Essentials | $180 | 2500 |
| Standard | $360 | 5000 |
| Expert | $540 | 25,000 |
If you want to try it month to month, the rates are as follows:
| Option | Monthly Price |
|---|---|
| Essentials | $22 |
| Standard | $40 |
| Expert | $55 |
You can even start with a free 14-day trial.
