The Best Real Estate CRM Under ₹1,000 per User per Month
Most real-estate-specific CRMs in India start north of ₹1,500 per user and sell in blocks of ten seats. If you are a five-person brokerage, that is a ₹1.5 lakh annual commitment before you have closed anything. Here is what is actually available under ₹1,000, and what you give up at that price.
What is available under ₹1,000 per user
| Option | Price | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Next Heights CRM | ₹799/user/month billed annually, ₹999 monthly | Newer product with few third-party reviews; no telecalling dialer or developer post-sales |
| Generic CRM entry tiers (Zoho, Freshsales) | Roughly ₹800–₹1,200/user/month | No property inventory, no area units, no buyer-to-property matching until you build it |
| Spreadsheets and WhatsApp | Free | No follow-up reminders, no matching, no audit trail, and the data leaves with the agent |
| Real-estate-specific competitors | From about ₹1,499–₹2,299/user/month | Usually a 10-user minimum, so a small team pays for empty seats |

The seat-minimum trap
The per-user headline is the wrong number to compare. What matters is the invoice. A product at ₹1,499 per user with a ten-seat minimum costs a five-person team ₹1,79,880 a year — an effective ₹2,998 per actual user. A product at ₹799 with no minimum costs the same team ₹47,940. Before you compare features, ask every vendor what the smallest order they will accept is.
What you should still expect at this price
Cheap should not mean stripped. Under ₹1,000 per user you should still get all of this, and you should walk away if you do not:
- Unlimited leads and properties, not a capped record count.
- Property inventory with matching against buyer requirements.
- Follow-up tasks with reminders, because missed follow-ups are the actual problem you are buying a CRM to solve.
- WhatsApp sharing with a properly formatted property message.
- Role-based access, so an agent who leaves does not take the database.
- CSV export of everything you have put in. Data portability is not a premium feature.
- A mobile app, because this business is not done at a desk.
- GST invoices.
What you should not expect
Developer post-sales — demand letters, collection milestones, construction-linked plans. A built-in predictive dialer. A dedicated implementation manager. Enterprise SSO and audit certifications. If you need those, budget for the tier that includes them; getting them cheaply is not a realistic goal.
Where Next Heights sits
One plan at ₹799 per user per month billed annually or ₹999 month to month, everything above included, no seat minimum, 14-day trial, and a live demo you can open without giving anyone your phone number. The optional extras are a ₹1,999 one-time WhatsApp API setup and a ₹200 Chat Sync add-on. See the pricing page.
Frequently asked
Is there a free real estate CRM in India?
There are free tiers of generic CRMs, but none include property inventory, Indian area units or matching. A 14-day full-feature trial tells you far more than a permanently crippled free plan.
Is a cheaper CRM worse?
At the low end you are usually paying less because the product is narrower, not because it is flimsier. The honest question is whether the parts it skips are parts you need. A broker who will never send a demand letter should not fund the module that produces them.
