Affordable CRM software for the UK

An affordable CRM for UK small businesses, priced per team

Most CRMs look cheap until you add your team. Meira 16 charges one price for everyone, so a team of 10 pays about £44 a month in total, not £44 each. And there's no VAT on top.

Why "cheap" CRMs often end up expensive

When you search for affordable CRM software, most prices you see are per user. £18 or £39 a month sounds fine for one person. Then you add your account managers, a part-time bookkeeper and a freelancer who needs to see client notes, and the bill grows every time.

Meira 16 works the other way round. You pick a plan by team size, and everyone on the team is included. Client logins to your portal are always free and never count towards your team.

  • Every login costs money. Teams end up sharing logins or leaving people out, which defeats the point of a CRM.
  • Useful features sit in higher tiers. Follow-up emails, automations and reports often need the next plan up, for every user.
  • VAT comes on top. Many advertised prices are before VAT, so a UK business pays 20% more. Meira 16 doesn't add VAT.

What a UK team really pays each month

Monthly cost for teams of 3, 6 and 10 people, paying yearly. Other CRMs' prices are their UK per-user prices, checked in October 2026, before VAT.

HubSpot, Pipedrive and Zoho add 20% VAT to the prices above. Meira 16 doesn't charge VAT, and works out at £44.17 a month on yearly billing, or £53 paying monthly. A team of 3 with 5 clients or fewer can use the free plan instead. Offers change often, so check each provider's own pricing page before you decide.

The gap grows with your team. A 10-person team on Pipedrive Growth pays about £390 a month, or £468 once VAT is added. On Meira 16 Team it's about £44, with nothing on top. Over a year, that's more than £5,000 back in the business.

Where it may not suit you

Meira 16 is newer than HubSpot, Pipedrive and Zoho, so it has fewer ready-made integrations. If you rely on a big app marketplace, one of those may be a better choice. And if you're a one-person business, a free plan from any of them will probably do the job for now.

Questions people ask

What is the most affordable CRM for a small business in the UK?

It depends on how many people need access. For one or two people, a free plan from Zoho CRM, HubSpot or Meira 16 is usually enough. From about four people up, a CRM that charges per team instead of per user tends to cost less. Meira 16's Team plan is £530 a year for up to 10 people, which works out at about £44 a month.

Is there a free CRM for UK small businesses?

Yes. Meira 16 is free for up to 3 people and 5 clients. Zoho CRM is free for up to 3 users and HubSpot has a free CRM too. Free plans are a good way to start, but most limit the number of people, clients or features.

Why is per-team pricing cheaper than per-user pricing?

With per-user pricing, every person you add raises the bill. With per-team pricing you pay one price for everyone up to a set team size. For a team of 6 to 10 people, that can be several hundred pounds a month cheaper.

Do Meira 16 prices include VAT?

Meira 16 doesn't add VAT, so the price on our pricing page is what you pay. Many other CRMs quote prices before VAT, so a UK business pays 20% more than their headline price.

Do I need a card to try Meira 16?

No. Paid plans start with an 8-day free trial and you don't need a card to start. There's also a free plan for teams of up to 3 people.
