Why mid-market Australian businesses choose custom-built over Freshsales.
Freshsales charges Free tier available; paid plans from $15/user/month to $69/user/month. A custom solution is a one-time investment — you own it outright with no monthly fees, no per-user charges, and no surprise price increases.
Freshsales limits integrations to their marketplace. Custom solutions connect directly via API to any tool in your stack — including industry-specific and legacy systems common for Healthcare & Allied Health.
Our Harvard-educated team brings 12+ years of experience building custom solutions for mid-market Australian businesses. We understand what $1M–$50M annual revenue businesses actually need.
We handle every aspect of the transition — data migration, team training, and parallel running — so there is zero operational disruption. Most migrations complete within 2-4 weeks.
No vendor lock-in, no data hostage situations. You own the source code, the database, and the infrastructure. Your business data stays under your control permanently.

You own the system entirely — no vendor lock-in, no data hostage, no forced upgrades
Freshsales's product roadmap prioritises their largest customers, not mid-market Australian businesses
