Use Groundbase for real for 30 days. Stick with it and it's free for life.
Groundbase is a simple CRM for one-person businesses: your contacts, deals, bookings, quotes, invoices, texts and email in one place. I'm looking for a small group of people to run their actual business on it and tell me what's annoying, confusing or missing.
- All of Groundbase, free for 30 days from the day you sign up. Every feature, no card.
- Free for life if you're still using it at the end and you've sent your check-ins.
- A direct line to the person who builds it. What you report goes on my list, not into a support queue.
- Web, Windows and Android apps, all with the same login and the same data.
- Use it as your actual CRM, a few times a week. Real customers, real follow-ups.
- Answer a short check-in by email once a week. It takes about 2 minutes.
- Tell me when something breaks, gets in your way, or doesn't make sense. Small things count.
Who it's for
People who sell or book their own work: contractors and trades, consultants, freelancers, coaches, photographers, real estate agents, small agencies. If you're keeping customers in a spreadsheet, a notes app or your inbox, or you're paying for a CRM built for a sales team of fifty, you're who I want to hear from.

I'm Adam, and I build Groundbase on my own. I read every check-in myself. Testers are how it gets from “works when I try it” to “works when you rely on it”.

Questions
If you've been using it and sending your check-ins, nothing changes: your account stays free, for life. If you've drifted off, it moves to the normal plan ($19 a month), and you can subscribe or leave. There's no card on file, so nothing is ever charged without you choosing to.
Only for texting and calling. Those use your own Twilio account, billed by Twilio at their rates (about US$20 to get started, plus around $1.15 a month for a number). Email sends from your own mailbox. Contacts, deals, bookings, quotes and invoices work without either.
No. Groundbase itself is free; anything Twilio charges for your texts and calls is between you and Twilio, the same as for every Groundbase customer. See pricing.
Any web browser, including on a Mac or iPhone, plus native apps for Windows and Android. There's no native Mac or iPhone app.
Yes. Import a spreadsheet or a CSV exported from another CRM; the import matches the usual column names for you.
Export your contacts, companies, deals and tasks as CSV, or everything as a backup file, from Settings, then delete your account. Your data is yours.
A mix of businesses, a few at a time, so every group gets proper attention. If it's not your week, you'll hear that too, and I'll keep your application for the next one.
