Pick Bitrix24 if you need more than sales — native telephony, tasks, messengers, automation, an on-premise option — in one system at flat pricing. Many SMBs start on Pipedrive for pure sales and move to Bitrix24 once they need operations and telephony. Auspex implements Bitrix24 and handles migrations from Pipedrive to Bitrix24. One boundary: since June 2023 Bitrix24 is unavailable to companies operating in Ukraine (NSDC sanctions) — Ukrainian teams should start from our Ukraine CRM guide. ## Frequently asked Which is easier for a sales team — Bitrix24 or Pipedrive? Pipedrive. Its pipeline is the cleanest on the market and reps adopt it on day one with almost no training. Bitrix24 is just as usable for sales once configured, but it sits inside a larger all-in-one interface, so there is more to learn. Is Pipedrive or Bitrix24 cheaper? For a small, pure-sales team, Pipedrive's per-seat pricing is easy to predict and fine. From around 10 users — or once you would otherwise buy separate telephony, task and intranet tools — Bitrix24's flat user-bucket bundle usually wins on total cost. Can you migrate from Pipedrive to Bitrix24, or the other way? Yes — Auspex migrates from Pipedrive to Bitrix24, typically in 1–2 weeks: contacts, organizations, deals, activities, notes and custom fields. We map the pipelines first so nothing is lost in the move. Does Pipedrive have built-in telephony and messengers? Pipedrive offers add-on calling and connects to messengers through its marketplace. Bitrix24 ships native SIP telephony (with recording and IVR) and native open channels for WhatsApp, Telegram and Instagram out of the box. Which should a 5–50 person business choose? If the job is purely sales, Pipedrive is often the faster, simpler win. If you need sales plus support, telephony and operations in one place, Bitrix24 fits better. Map your lead-to-cash workflow first, then match the tool to it.
