No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

    I tried a couple of other CRM/invoicing which lacked features or had too many bugs. I’m glad I found this plugin. It simply works, and it works very well.

    I have been searching forever for a system that does everything I wanted it to, but nothing has worked out. Until now! Sprout Apps in fantastic, and paired with projectpanorama and approveme it’s exactly what I wanted! Also, their support is AMAZING!

    I run a company that is just getting started. We started using Sprout Invoices a while back to streamline our workflow. I have been keeping my eye on Sprout Clients ever since as the Invoices app was done so well. As soon as the free version was available, I jumped on the change to give it a try and I am not disappointed! It integrates so well with Sprout Invoices which we were already using and with Panorama Projects which is something else we were already using. This was the much needed missing piece to our CRM workflow!

    Sprout Clients is something that I’ve personally spent a lot of time on building and I really hope it helps out those small businesses and freelancers keep in touch with their clients, leads, and conference friends. Organization is one thing but not forgetting to send out that follow-up email is the best.
