 "honest_knock": "It's deliberately lean: no built-in dialer, no quoting or invoicing, and reporting feels basic unless you export. Integrations cover the essentials (Gmail, Outlook, Zapier) but niche tools lean on Zapier, and at higher seat counts the price overlaps fuller CRMs. Two further limits come from Salesflare's own help centre. Microsoft 365 users who send campaigns can land on Microsoft's restricted-users list: the article updated 17 September 2026 says this happens when a mailbox exceeds its sending limit or is flagged by spam filters, that Salesflare's own quotas do not always prevent it, and that an admin then has to unblock the user in the Microsoft 365 Defender portal. And the no-limits promise has a fair-use edge, set out in the record-limits article.",

The euro column prints the same numerals — €39/€29, €64/€49, €124/€99 — so a European buyer pays the same figure in a different currency rather than a converted one. Our earlier reading called this “$29–99 per user” with Growth at about $29–39 and Pro at about $49. The range was right and the label was not: the low number in each pair is the annual rate and the high one is what month-to-month costs, and the five-seat floor on Enterprise never appeared. Lead credits are part of the ladder rather than an add-on — 5 on Growth, 100 on Pro, 250 on Enterprise. There is a 30-day free trial with no card. On that same page the vendor commits to no onboarding fees and to no caps on contacts, users, email templates, tracked emails, custom fields, workflows, dashboards or pipelines.",
