Basic Bitrix24 Advantages Overview

There are several key advantages Bitrix24 offers over Pipedrive.

  1. In Bitrix24, you get a user limit for each plan, which means you can keep adding more users within the plan limit and still pay the same amount of money per month/year. Pipedrive is totally different – there, you have to pay a separate subscription fee for every user, which adds up to your costs once you start growing as a company.
  2. Bitrix24 offers a complete set of business tools and not just CRM. That includes a built-in messenger, video calls, online file storage, calendar, tasks, business process automation, and more. No hidden fees, no additional charges – the subscription price that you pay is the final one.
  3. If you choose our On-Premise edition, you can host Bitrix24 on your own server. This is extremely helpful if you work with sensitive data or have advanced safety concerns – plus, the On-Premise edition features a wide range of customization options, from interface to functionality.
  4. Finally, Bitrix24 offers advanced social media integrations. In addition to connecting your company’s accounts and messengers directly to CRM, you can also collect data about their performance and generate leads automatically. Sales Intelligence allows you to get all the data about your marketing campaigns and advertising.
