## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Nov 12, 2026. Contactzilla syncs a shared company contact book to every phone and computer. It charges per connected device with a 10-device minimum, and it stores contacts only, with no deal pipeline.

- **Value for money: C.** $1.79 per device a month billed yearly, with a 10-device minimum, so the floor is about $18 a month, between the $15 cheaper quarter and $25 middle of CRM tools.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 14-day free trial with full access and no card needed. No free plan.
- **Features: D.** It syncs and shares contacts, with labels, custom fields and import and export. The pricing page lists no deal pipeline or sales tracking, so it is one narrow function.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** Nothing Contactzilla does is plain enough to make in a weekend. The 4 things listed below take a company. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 51 of the 72 other CRM tools grade higher. It costs $21.48 a year.

- You could not: Databases with views, filters and links between them.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace and Salesforce among them, and has an API.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.

A judgement by ToolGPA from this listing, by rules that are the same for every tool. Nothing was built to test it.
