Geniziz vs Insightly: the Insightly alternative that doesn't charge per seat
Is Geniziz a good Insightly alternative? Yes — and the arithmetic is the short version. Ten people on Insightly's Professional runs about $490 a month; the same ten on Geniziz is €149, because Geniziz never charges for a seat. You pay for the contacts you hold, every feature is on every plan, and AI, email and calling run on your own API keys at provider cost.

What Insightly costs, and what the same team costs here
Insightly bills like this: Per user per month, tiered (Plus/Professional/Enterprise), annual billing.
The tiering is the part that bites: Lead assignment/routing, full workflow automation and AI Copilot need Professional; sandboxes, products/pricebooks/quotes and full audit logging need Enterprise.
Geniziz removes both levers. Unlimited users, unlimited workspaces, every feature on every plan, and one price set only by how many contacts you hold.
A working sales team, plus the ops and leadership people who only need to look. That is about 2.8× the Geniziz price.
Add success and marketing. On Geniziz the bill does not move. That is about 7.1× the Geniziz price.
The whole revenue floor — sales, success, ops, leadership — on one flat price. That is about 7.1× the Geniziz price.
Professional plan at $49/user/mo billed annually — the tier that adds full workflow automation and AI Copilot. Geniziz price depends only on your total contacts, never on headcount. Figures checked 2026-09-13.

- Bring your own keys — AI, calling, email and enrichment run on your provider accounts at cost, never resold.

Migrating from Insightly to Geniziz
Exports Leads, Contacts, Organizations, Opportunities and Projects as CSV; the added Projects/Pipelines object for post-sale delivery has no direct equivalent in pure sales CRMs, so that data often needs restructuring on migration.
You keep the structure, not just the rows. Companies, contacts, deals and the activity timeline come across with their links intact — the wizard relinks records by ID first, then falls back to company name and email domain — so the pipeline you open on the other side is the pipeline you had. Afterwards you keep full ownership: a full export anytime, an open REST API, webhooks, and MCP for agents.
How to migrate from Insightly to Geniziz
- 1. Export your data from Insightly (CSV or JSON — companies, contacts, deals, activities).
- 2. Drop the files into the Geniziz migration wizard — together or separately, in any order.
- 3. We auto-detect each file, map the columns, and link everything by IDs, company names and email domains.
- 4. Review the pre-flight summary and import. Your pipeline is live the same afternoon.
