Thanks! What do you think would be a fair price for a CRM with email automations etc? I do think Wobaka is competitive in pricing, even for a solo businesses :).
I like Basecamps offering and they've been an inspiration for choosing flat pricing!
Speaking for myself, email automations isn't a needed feature. As I said, I deal with a dozen or so clients per year, so it's perfectly doable manually, even considering all other things going on.
I got instantly interested in Wobaka because of it's simplicity (take that as a compliment) and the direct to the point approach. I tested several CRMs last year, and the closest to my needs was Capsule CRM[1] — yet it's too much for my taste. So, for now, I'm running my relationships with customers with a mix of my calendar and a few txts. Surprisingly, it's been working quite fine, although slight weird.
Maybe I'm asking too much, but I like Basecamp's idea: a free, barebones, and no-support plan for really small business. If the said business grow, the next, ultimate step is right there for a fair, flat price. I'd try Wobaka in a heart beat if it had a less featured free tier.
Btw, Capsule CRM offers a free tier. It has basic features for up to 2 users and 250 contacts.
But many users won't need these things, and for them $50/m is too expensive. That's why lots of software packages have tiers.
I'd personally be very interested in a "personal plan" version that included CardDav sync so that I could use it with the contacts on my phone. But I'm currently using NextCloud for that, so you'd have to compete with free. If the CRM is decent (NextCloud is not a CRM) then I'd pay maybe a buck per month - not something you'll make money on and probably a support sink for many non-technical users.

Not every product fits everyone.
It's ok if a certain product doesn't fit someones needs or budgets.
