Administrative load, counted honestly
List the modules your company will actually run in the next year and who owns each one. If collaboration, tasks and storage are genuinely on that list, a suite is the right shape and the administration is worth paying for. If the list is only sales, count the hours a small team will spend configuring and maintaining the rest, then treat that as part of the price. This is the comparison that decides most lean-team decisions and almost never appears in a feature table.
Compliance you can evidence
Calling from Singapore carries obligations that generic comparisons ignore. Check how consent is recorded on the contact, whether preference flags exist, whether changes leave an audit trail, and how you would produce evidence if a customer asked. Ask how the dialer supports suppressing numbers you must not call and how your screening process against national do-not-call rules fits into the daily workflow rather than living in a separate spreadsheet.
Currency handling and data portability
Compare whether a deal can hold its own currency and still roll into a single forecast figure without manual conversion. Then check that contacts, deals, activities, notes and custom fields can be exported by you, on demand, in open formats, and confirm what happens to attachments and call recordings. For a small team with no systems owner, portability is a more valuable property than any additional module.
