The Verdict
Insightly is built for growing businesses and project based companies, with a focus on contact-management and pipeline-management. Salesflare targets b2b startups and small sales teams and leads with auto-data-entry and email-tracking.
On pricing, Insightly is the clear winner for budget-conscious users — starting at $29/mo compared to $35/mo for Salesflare. That $6/mo difference adds up quickly for growing teams.
Insightly has a free plan, which gives it a meaningful edge for individuals and small teams exploring their options. Salesflare requires a paid subscription from day one.
Salesflare edges out on user ratings (4.5 vs 4). While both are well-regarded, that gap reflects real differences in user satisfaction worth considering.
Bottom line: Salesflare has a slight overall edge — but if crm plus project management matters most to you, Insightly may still be the right call.
