Four reasons sales teams choose HelloGrowthCRM over Bitrix24.
Bitrix24 bundles CRM with project management, HR, websites, and internal comms. The result is a complex tool most sales teams never fully learn. HelloGrowthCRM does sales CRM and does it well.
Bitrix24 charges extra for WhatsApp Business API. HelloGrowthCRM includes native WhatsApp sending, templates, and bulk broadcasts in all paid plans.
Bitrix24 requires configuration of CRM, deals, pipelines, roles, and integrations before it is usable. HelloGrowthCRM has a working pipeline in 5 minutes.
Bitrix24 has no Tally integration, no GSTIN/PAN verification, and no Hindi interface. HelloGrowthCRM is built for Indian SMBs with all three included.

Export from Bitrix24: In Bitrix24, go to CRM → Settings → Data Export. Export contacts, companies, deals, and activities as CSV. The export wizard walks you through each module.

Recreate Automations: Map your Bitrix24 business processes to HelloGrowthCRM automation sequences. Most Bitrix24 CRM automations have a direct equivalent — our team provides a migration template.
Bitrix24's free plan wins teams over with no upfront cost, then loses them to complexity, unexpected upgrade walls, and the chaos of a bloated tool. HelloGrowthCRM is the focused CRM for teams who tried Bitrix24, used 20% of its features, and want something that does sales well without the noise.
Can HelloGrowthCRM replace Bitrix24's project management features?
HelloGrowthCRM focuses on sales CRM, not project management. It includes task management and deal-linked activities, but not Gantt charts or resource planning. If your team uses Bitrix24 primarily for sales, HelloGrowthCRM is the right move.
How long does migrating from Bitrix24 take?
Most teams complete the core migration in 4–6 hours: data export from Bitrix24 (1–2 hours), import into HelloGrowthCRM (1–2 hours), and automation setup (2 hours). Our migration team is available to assist at no charge.
Does HelloGrowthCRM have a free plan like Bitrix24?
Yes. HelloGrowthCRM's free plan includes 200 contacts, pipeline management, AI lead scoring, WhatsApp integration, and team access for 2 users — permanently free, no credit card required. Unlike Bitrix24, there are no feature blocks for core CRM functionality.
What about Bitrix24's internal team messaging?
HelloGrowthCRM includes deal-linked messaging, activity feeds, and @mentions within the CRM context. It does not include a standalone team chat platform. For internal comms, most teams use WhatsApp, Slack, or Google Chat alongside HelloGrowthCRM.
Is Bitrix24 free plan really free?
Bitrix24's free plan restricts automations, email marketing, and WhatsApp behind paid tiers. Most teams outgrow it within 3 months. HelloGrowthCRM's free plan is genuinely unlimited on core CRM features up to 200 contacts, with a predictable upgrade path at ₹99/user or $10/user.
