How we chose

A CRM mobile app is judged on the phone, not on a desktop demo. The test for this list was whether a seller can log a call, update a deal, find a contact and send a follow-up email from a phone, without opening a laptop. Prices and limits come from each vendor's pricing page, checked on 14 November 2026. No hands-on testing was done, so this post compares published pricing and documentation, checked on 14 November 2026. Two prices could not be read directly from the vendor's pricing page on the day, because the page did not render its price table in this check: Zoho CRM Standard at $14 a user a month and monday sales CRM Basic at $12 a seat a month. Both figures match several independent reads of those vendor pages from October 2026, but confirm them at checkout before you budget.

1. HubSpot: best for small teams wanting a free mobile CRM

HubSpot is a CRM platform with a free CRM at its core, and the HubSpot mobile app is included on every plan, including the free one. From the phone you can view and edit contacts and deals, log calls, send one-to-one email and check your pipeline. Sales Hub Starter starts from $20 a seat a month at list rate and adds calling minutes, more email templates and sequences, and removes HubSpot branding from emails. Professional and Enterprise add forecasting, playbooks and conversation intelligence.

HubSpot fits a small team that sells on the move and wants to pay nothing to start. The free CRM has no time limit, and the mobile app covers the daily selling jobs rather than a cut-down viewer. The weakness is the climb. The features that make a sales team faster, like sequences, forecasting and call transcription, sit on paid tiers, and paid Sales Hub plans are priced per seat, so the bill grows with every hire.

2. Pipedrive: best for sellers who live in their pipeline

Starting priceFrom $14 a seat a month billed annually (Lite)
Best forSellers who live in their pipeline
Skip ifyou need a free plan, because Pipedrive offers a 14-day trial only

Pipedrive is a sales CRM built around a visual pipeline, and its mobile app carries that pipeline onto the phone. You can view and manage leads, deals, contacts and calendar events, and the app supports the same deal stages you set up on desktop. Lite costs $14 a seat a month billed annually and covers lead, calendar and pipeline management plus meeting intelligence. Growth at $39 a seat a month billed annually adds full email sync, automations and sequences. Premium at $59 adds lead generation, AI email tools and contracts with e-signatures.

Pipedrive fits a seller whose day is the pipeline: open the app, see what needs a nudge, log the call, move the deal. The mobile experience is the product, not an afterthought, and the per-seat pricing is simple to forecast. The weakness is the free tier, or rather the lack of one. There is no permanent free plan, only a 14-day trial, so a solo seller pays from day one. Email sync and automations also need the Growth plan, which nearly triples the per-seat price.

3. Zoho CRM: best for budget teams needing a full mobile CRM

Starting priceFree for up to 3 users; Standard from $14 a user a month billed annually
Best forBudget teams needing a full mobile CRM
Skip ifyour team has more than three users and your budget is under $14 a user a month

Zoho CRM is a full-featured sales CRM with mobile apps for iOS and Android, and its free edition supports up to three users with leads, contacts, deals and mobile apps included. Paid editions start with Standard from $14 a user a month billed annually, then Professional at $23 and Enterprise at $40, with an Ultimate edition for large deployments. The paid tiers add more pipelines, workflow automation, forecasting and AI assistance from Zoho's Zia assistant.

Zoho CRM fits a small team that wants a real CRM on the phone for very little money. Three users pay nothing, and the jump to Standard is $14 a user a month, which undercuts most of this list. The mobile apps are part of every edition, not a paid add-on. The weakness is the learning curve. Zoho CRM is deep and configurable, and the settings that make it powerful take time to learn.

4. Salesforce: best for large teams needing offline mobile access

Starting priceFree Suite $0; Starter Suite from $25 a user a month
Best forLarge teams needing offline mobile access
Skip ifyour budget is under $25 a user a month, because the Starter Suite starts there

Salesforce Sales Cloud is the largest CRM on this list, and its mobile app is listed on every edition on Salesforce's pricing page, with full offline mobile functionality available on the higher editions. The Free Suite costs $0 a user a month. Starter Suite costs $25 a user a month billed monthly or annually, and covers lead, account, contact and opportunity management with built-in sales flows. Pro Suite costs $100 a user a month billed annually and adds quoting, forecasting and more automation. Core costs $195, Advanced $395 and Max $550 a user a month billed annually.

Salesforce fits a team that sells in the field with unreliable signal, because offline access on the higher editions lets reps keep working without a connection and sync later. It also fits companies that already run Salesforce elsewhere, since the mobile app shares the same records, automation and permissions. The weakness is the price ladder: Pro Suite at $100 is four times Starter at $25, and full API access sits higher still.

5. Freshsales: best for small teams wanting the cheapest paid start

Starting priceFrom $9 a user a month billed annually (Growth)
Best forSmall teams wanting the cheapest paid start
Skip ifyou need a free plan, because Freshsales offers a 21-day trial instead

Freshsales is the Freshworks CRM for sales teams, with a mobile app for working deals away from the desk. Growth costs $9 a user a month billed annually and covers kanban views, contact lifecycle stages, chat, email and phone, email templates and basic workflows. Pro costs $39 a user a month billed annually and adds contact scoring, deal insights, territory management and sales sequences. Enterprise costs $59 and adds forecasting insights, field-level permissions and a sandbox.

Freshsales fits a small team that wants a paid CRM at the lowest entry price on this list. Nine dollars a user a month buys a working CRM with phone and email built in, and the 21-day trial gives three weeks to test the full product before paying. The weakness is the free plan, which does not exist. Unlike HubSpot and Zoho CRM, there is no permanent free tier, so the trial ending means paying or losing access. AI features are also sold as add-ons, with the Freddy AI Agent priced at $49 per 100 sessions.

6. monday sales CRM: best for visual teams managing deals on boards

Starting priceFrom $12 a seat a month billed annually (Basic)
Best forVisual teams managing deals on boards
Skip ifyou need a single seat, because paid plans start at three seats

monday sales CRM is the CRM product from monday.com, built around boards rather than a traditional pipeline view, with mobile apps for working deals on the go. Basic costs $12 a seat a month billed annually and covers customizable pipelines, up to 1,000 active contacts and deals, one dashboard and 20 quotes or invoices a month. Standard at $17 adds two-way email sync, 250 custom automations a month and five dashboards. Pro at $28 adds forecasting, mass email, sequences and 25,000 automations a month.

monday sales CRM fits a team that thinks in boards and columns and wants the CRM to look the same on the phone as on the desktop. The visual layout suits teams that manage many small deals at once, and the automation limits are generous on Pro. The weakness is the seat minimum. Paid plans start at three seats, so the real entry cost on Basic is $36 a month, or $432 a year, even if only one or two people sell. Basic also has no email integration and no custom automations, which pushes most teams to Standard at least.

7. Copper: best for Google Workspace teams living in Gmail

Starting priceFrom $23 a seat a month billed annually (Basic)
Best forGoogle Workspace teams living in Gmail
Skip ifyou do not use Google Workspace, because the Gmail integration is the main reason to buy it

Copper is a CRM built for Google Workspace, with a Chrome extension that brings it into Gmail and mobile apps for iOS and Android. Copper's own pricing page lists a price range of $23 to $99 a seat a month. Basic costs $23 a seat a month billed annually and covers a 2,500-contact limit, pipelines, task automation and Google integrations. Professional at $59 adds workflow automation, bulk email and reporting. Business at $99 adds unlimited contacts, custom reports and email sequences.

Copper fits a team that already lives in Gmail, Calendar and Drive, because the CRM meets you inside the inbox instead of asking you to open another app. Adding a contact from an email takes a click, and the mobile app keeps the same records in sync. The weakness is the narrow fit. Outside Google Workspace the main selling point disappears, and the price jumps steeply between tiers: Professional costs more than twice Basic, and Business nearly doubles it again.

What a five-person team pays in a year on mobile

CRM Yearly cost, 5 users What the money buys
HubSpot (free CRM) $0 Mobile CRM, contacts, deals, calls, email
Zoho CRM (free, 3 users) $840 3 free users plus 2 on Standard at $14 a month
Freshsales (Growth) $540 Kanban, phone, email, basic workflows
monday sales CRM (Basic) $720 Boards, 1,000 contacts and deals, 1 dashboard
Pipedrive (Lite) $840 Pipeline, meeting intelligence, 500+ integrations
Copper (Basic) $1,380 Gmail-native CRM, 2,500 contacts
Salesforce (Starter Suite) $1,500 Full CRM, mobile app, sales flows

The cheapest stack that covers a team is HubSpot free for the CRM plus nothing else, at $0 a year for five people. Freshsales at $540 a year is the cheapest paid option, and Pipedrive at $840 buys the simplest mobile pipeline.

How to pick the right CRM mobile app

  • Zero budget: HubSpot free, or Zoho CRM free for up to three users.
  • Simplest pipeline on the phone: Pipedrive Lite at $14 a seat a month.
  • Cheapest paid plan: Freshsales Growth at $9 a user a month.
  • Visual boards: monday sales CRM Basic at $12 a seat a month, remembering the three-seat minimum.
  • Gmail-first team: Copper Basic at $23 a seat a month.
  • Offline field selling at scale: Salesforce, starting at $25 a user a month.

Mistakes to avoid with CRM mobile apps

  • Paying for seats you do not use. monday sales CRM bills from three seats, and every per-seat price on this list multiplies with headcount. Count the people who actually sell before you buy.
  • Assuming the mobile app matches the desktop. Free and entry plans often cut offline access, automations and reporting on mobile. Check the plan comparison for the mobile features you need, not just the headline price.
  • Ignoring the free tier limits. Zoho CRM's free plan ends at three users, and HubSpot's free plan leaves out sequences and forecasting. A team that grows past the free limits needs a plan for the paid jump.
  • Buying Salesforce for a five-person team. The Starter Suite is fairly priced, but the features a growing team wants sit on Pro Suite at $100 a user a month. Budget for the tier you will need in a year, not the one you need today.

CRM mobile app terms worth knowing

  • Offline access: the ability to view and update records without a connection, syncing when the phone is back online. Salesforce lists it on higher editions; check it on any CRM before field use.
  • Seat minimum: the smallest number of paid seats a vendor will sell. monday sales CRM starts at three seats, so a solo seller still pays for three.
  • Per-seat pricing: a price charged for each user, each month. Five users on a $14 plan cost $70 a month, not $14.
  • Sales flows: automated steps that move a lead through stages, such as assigning a new lead or sending a follow-up.

Common questions

What is the best free CRM mobile app?

HubSpot. Its CRM costs nothing, and the mobile app covers contacts, deals, calls and email on the free plan. Zoho CRM is also free for up to three users, with mobile apps included.

Does Salesforce have a mobile app?

Yes. The Salesforce mobile app is included on every Sales Cloud edition, and full offline mobile functionality is listed as a feature on the higher editions. The Starter Suite costs $25 a user a month.

Which CRM mobile app is cheapest?
