Feature by Feature Comparison with SharpSpring

EngageBay offers Marketing, Service (live chat and helpdesk), CRM and Sales modules. Customers can buy them separately or as a single all-in-one suite. The all-in-one suite offers powerful insights and reports, reduces data inconsistencies and duplications, eliminates the need for multiple software, provides a holistic view of each customer across various departments – and saves a lot of time and money in the process.

Though Sharpspring offers a powerful marketing automation tool, it is expensive and can take months and training, and costly contractual commitments to harness this power. EngageBay, on the other hand, can be up and running in minutes (with zero upfront costs and minimal training)!

Frequently Asked Questions - FAQs

You also get a landing pages.

On the other hand, Sharpspring does not offer a free plan. Their least expensive plan starts at $399/month.

At EngageBay, we have identified mis-communication between the marketing and sales team as the biggest productivity killer.

We divided the two sections as both teams perform a largely different set of tasks. A combined interface would create more complications and result in a steeper learning curve. At EngageBay, we like to keep things simple!

Though we have different sections for marketing, sales, and customer service, the unified CRM ensures that everyone has access to the same data. This reduces and almost nullifies the effect of miscommunication between the teams.

On top of astronomical prices, SharpSpring also charges an onboarding fee; they train you and your team for this fee. Depending on the plan you buy, SharpSpring’s onboarding fee could reach a whopping $1,999.

We don’t serve the same set of customers as SharpSpring. Our pricing and design are optimized for smaller and younger businesses that aspire to be million-dollar, multinational corporations one day. Unlike SharpSpring, EngageBay has no mandatory onboarding fee. If you get stuck anywhere, our support associates are there to help you.

Sharpspring’s plans operate on a sliding-scale model, which means you have to pay more as your contacts increase. For example, Sharpspring’s ‘Small Business’ plan starts at $499/month for 1,000 contacts. As your contacts increase to 20,000, you need to pay $1449/month.

If you need Pro features, you need the Enterprise or Agency plans with custom pricing.

In contrast, EngageBay offers:

  • Fixed number of contacts for each plan, thus keeping the costs low.
  • Our Basic plan costs just $14.99 for 1,000 contacts.
  • Our most advanced plan, the Pro plan costs less than $100 a month – and you get unlimited contacts!

Our founders are owners of startups and small businesses just like you. We understand that money is tight in those early days. We also know how important it is to successfully market your new company.

Your budget isn’t unlimited, nor is your time. By trying to learn and integrate several other programs or software into your current system, you waste time. That’s why EngageBay’s all-in-one suite offers marketing, sales, and customer support in a single package.

We have aligned our pricing with the budgets of most growing companies. Our most expensive package, the Pro, costs less than $100/month. With this plan, you get priority support, account-based marketing, pro tools, thousands of emails, unlimited contacts, and unlimited web forms. We also professionally onboard you – absolutely free of charge!
