Act Premium Cloud (Cloud-Based Act)
Act Premium Cloud (APC) is the web-based version of Act CRM that doesn’t require any software installation. It includes an optional Desktop Sync feature. I personally use it in my office and highly recommend it to my customers. Long-time Act users may find some adjustments are needed because it runs entirely in a web browser, but these are easily addressed with a bit of training. I offer a set of training videos that make the transition smooth and effective.

A Common Misconception About Act CRM Software
Many people think the cloud version is the only option—this is 100% false. Act’s traditional desktop software is still available as a subscription.
My Recommendation: Act Premium Cloud (APC)
APC begins with a free 14-day trial and requires no credit card. After starting the trial, reach out to me for personalized guidance, tips, and tricks. The cloud version delivers about 80% of the features long-time users are used to. The remaining 20% isn’t missing—just different—because of how the cloud version works in a browser.
You can even upload a backup of your existing Act database to the cloud and see how it performs in a live environment. If you go in with an open mind and allow yourself to adapt, you’ll likely be surprised by how well Act Premium Cloud works. I’ve been using Act daily since Christmas 2020 and have extensive experience with everything related to Act Premium Cloud.
Act Desktop Software (Installed on Your Computer)
If you prefer software installed on your computer, Act Premium Desktop is still available as a subscription. As of April 2025, the current version is Act v26. If you’re upgrading from an earlier version, the old software must be removed first. I recommend contacting me for step-by-step instructions to make your upgrade smooth. I also provide free standard support to help you with the process.

Desktop Sync Option
I’m especially excited about the Desktop Sync option. It’s great for users who want the flexibility of cloud access but also like the traditional desktop setup. For $10/month, you get Act Desktop software and sync capabilities. It’s a great way to ensure your Act experience meets your needs—whether you’re online, offline, or somewhere in between.
You don’t have to decide right away; Desktop Sync can be added later. Either way, you’re covered with the tools and support you need.
After you start your free trial, I’ll reach out to give you a brief demo on how to get the most out of Act Premium Cloud and all the tools included with Act CRM.

I want your first impression to be a great one, and I’ll do everything I can to teach you how to use Act Premium Cloud with confidence. Thanks, and I look forward to helping you get started!
