Why people leave
Common reasons we’ve heard for switching off Make.
- →The pricing model assumes a team size you don't have.
- →You need a CRM purpose-built for outbound sales, not generic productivity.
If you’re leaving Make, consider
- 018.6 / 10from $0/mo
Try if: B2B newsletter operators who want monetization tools (Boosts, Ad Network, paid subs) built in, not bolted on. Best newsletter platform for the inbound-audience half of a sales stack.
- 028.4 / 10from $0/mo
Try if: Mid-market and growth-stage teams that want CRM, marketing automation, sales engagement, and service tools on one platform. The all-in-one bet is real; the price escalates fast.
- 038.2 / 10from $14/mo
Try if: Sales-focused SMB CRM with the cleanest pipeline-stage UX in the category. $14/seat entry beats HubSpot Sales Hub for 5-30 person sales teams that don't need marketing automation bundled in.
- 048.0 / 10from $49/mo
Try if: Inside-sales-focused CRM with the strongest built-in calling and email-sequencing of any SMB CRM. Right pick when your sales motion is phone+email heavy and you don't want to integrate 3 tools.
- 057.9 / 10from $20/mo
Try if: Modern indie CRM built for solo operators, agencies, and small business-development teams that want a CRM that doesn't feel like Salesforce. Strongest UI in the category for the casual-CRM use case.
