THE CRM TAX

How CRM pricing actually works

Every CRM starts free. Then the gates appear. Contacts cost extra. Sequences cost extra. Reports cost extra. You're trapped.

💸

Per-Seat Pricing

Salesforce charges $25–300/user/mo. A 5-person team pays $125–1,500/mo just for access. SoloStack has no seats — it's your database.

🚧

Contact Limits

HubSpot charges $50 per extra 1,000 contacts. 10,000 contacts? That's $450/mo in overages alone. Postgres has no contact cap.

🔒

Feature Gates

Lead scoring? HubSpot Pro at $800/mo. Sequences? Also Pro. Custom reports? Pro. You need to spend $800/mo for a functional CRM.

⛓

Vendor Lock-In

Your data lives on their servers. Migrations take weeks. Exports are incomplete. They own your customer relationships — not you.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes. The CRM runs on Neon Postgres (free tier = 500MB, enough for ~200,000 contacts), Netlify Functions (free tier = 125k invocations/mo), and Claude Code manages everything. You'll pay ~$3/mo for Resend if you exceed 3,000 emails. Compare that to HubSpot's $50–800+/mo.
Yes. Export your HubSpot contacts as CSV, then tell Claude Code 'import these contacts.' It maps fields automatically — first name, last name, email, company, deal stage, custom properties — all into your Neon Postgres tables. No data loss, no manual mapping.
Unlimited. It's a Postgres database — the most battle-tested database in the world. Neon's free tier gives you 500MB (roughly 200,000+ contacts with full metadata). If you outgrow that, Neon's paid tier starts at $19/mo for 10GB. You'll never hit a 'contact limit' paywall.
No. You talk to Claude Code in plain English. Say 'show me all leads from this week' or 'create a deal for Acme Corp at $50k' — Claude writes and runs the SQL for you. You manage a full CRM without writing a single line of code.
SoloStack connects to the tools you actually need via Netlify Functions: Stripe for payments, Resend for email, LinkedIn for outreach, Google Calendar for scheduling. Since it's just a Postgres database, you can connect any tool that speaks SQL or REST — no marketplace of $20/mo add-ons.
Your data lives in Neon Postgres — enterprise-grade, encrypted at rest, with automatic daily backups. Unlike SaaS CRMs where the vendor owns your data, you have full ownership. Export anytime. No lock-in. No ransom pricing to keep your own contacts.
