FREE Forever to Start — Upgrade Only When You Need More

Starting HelloGrowthCRM free as a New Zealand business

The Free Forever plan works the same way in New Zealand as everywhere else: create an account with no credit card, get 1 user and up to 200 leads, and keep the tier for as long as you want. When you grow into a paid plan, Growth is $12/user/month (or $10 on annual billing) — details are on the New Zealand pricing page. For a typical 3–5 person Kiwi team, that is a modest, predictable monthly cost rather than an enterprise licence conversation.

Data handling matters for NZ teams too. HelloGrowthCRM is designed with the Privacy Act 2020 in mind: consent records, opt-out handling for email and SMS cadences, exportable customer data for access requests, and SOC 2 Type II attested security controls. Because the platform is cloud-based with iOS and Android apps, it works the same from an Auckland office, a Christchurch job site, or a client visit in Queenstown.

What New Zealand small businesses typically test in the first two weeks

An Auckland real estate salesperson imports open-home sign-ins and Trade Me Property enquiries into one pipeline, so every buyer gets a follow-up call or message within a day of the open home — and vendors get a clear report of exactly who came through and where each conversation stands.

A Christchurch building firm routes website and phone enquiries into a quote pipeline. Every quote gets a follow-up date the moment it is sent, and the follow-up queue — not memory — decides who gets chased each morning. The owner finally knows which of a dozen outstanding quotes are worth a second call before the client books another builder.

A Wellington marketing consultancy replaces a proposals spreadsheet with a Kanban board. AI deal-risk alerts flag proposals that have gone quiet, and the founder checks likely revenue for the quarter from the phone app between client meetings. When the team outgrows 200 leads, the upgrade path is the Growth plan — no migration, no re-import, the data simply stays where it is.

How to evaluate the free tier properly

Give it two weeks with real leads, not sample data. Import your current spreadsheet on day one, rename the pipeline stages to match how your business actually sells, and agree one team rule: every call logged, every quote followed up from the CRM. Setup takes 15–30 minutes for most teams. If you would rather see the product before importing anything, book a live demo first — and if you want someone else to run the pipeline entirely, the Managed RevOps service for New Zealand pairs the CRM with a specialist who works your follow-up queue for you.
