Act CRM Pricing Update 1-3-2023 | Version 24 Subscription and Perpetual Offerings
First and foremost, Happy New Year! Is it just me, or has the pandemic skewed time? Time is flying by at a rapid pace, or so it seems. Act pricing has not changed and you have 7 pricing options that I will outline for you today. They include the following prices:
- Act Premium Desktop (Yearly Subscription is $380 upgrade pricing and $450 for new users): This is Act software that is downloaded and physically installed on the hard drive of your computer. Multiple individuals can also use it in a network environment in which you install Act on your company server and linked desktops. If you don't have a server or expertise to deploy Act, we offer hosting solutions.
- Act Premium Cloud (Yearly Subscription is $360 per user): This is Act in the cloud only. You login via a web browser, and there is no software to install. I love this option and have been using it exclusively since late December 2020. Act is unique because most CRM products are web-based. Act has desktop software and web-based software options. Our Next option gives you the best of both options.
- Act Premium Cloud with Desktop Sync (Yearly Subscription is $480 and includes Act Premium Cloud and Act Desktop physically installed software): This is truly the best of both Act worlds. Act desktop software has advantages such as not needing to be connected to the internet. There are also add-on products that are best used with Act's desktop software. However, Act has to be installed and configured, and you must compute the installation cost if you need assistance.
- Act Pro v24 ($450 one-time purchase, a perpetual license): This is do-it-yourself software and is limited to 5-users or fewer. We offer support that is fee-based.
My Thoughts About Annual Subscriptions for ACT CRM
Some people are winding down their careers. Some are simply maintaining a book of business, and they do very little customer follow-up and sales. They don't see the benefit of a yearly subscription when they only use Act as a glorified Rolodex.
I can understand that to a point.
Why not send out a quarterly email touching their prospects and clients? Act Marketing Automation makes this easy. It doesn't have to be fancy, it can be a plain simple text email. Strengthening the relationship between you and or contacts is never a bad thing. Is your database an asset that you could sell? It is my feeling that you can judge Act as a tool that is measurable and quantifiable: does it make you money? Can you generate business using Act as a marketing and sales tool? Can one extra sale a year pay for Act many times over? If yes, a subscription is just the cost of doing business. A small cost, a little more than $1.00 a day. Send an email. Make a sale. You can thank me later.
