## Ways to pay less

- **10% off with annual prepay** (Annual discount): Paying 12 months up front instead of month to month takes 10% off the account. Source: https://www.method.me/crm-quickbooks/pricing/
- **25% off for 3 months** (Other savings): New accounts with 3 or more users get 25% off the CRM plans for the first 3 months. Source: https://www.method.me/crm-quickbooks/pricing/

## Key features

- **QuickBooks sync:** Customers, invoices and payments sync both ways with QuickBooks Online, Desktop and Enterprise, so staff can work in the CRM instead of the accounting file.
- **Leads, estimates and invoices:** Track leads, build estimates and proposals with e-signature, then convert them to invoices and take online payments.
- **Customer portals:** Customers can log in to update their details, view estimates, pay invoices and report issues, with changes passed back to QuickBooks.
- **Workflow automation:** Lead-to-cash workflows, approvals and custom fields can be shaped to the business, including with a plain-English assistant called Method AI.
- **Field Services edition:** A separate edition for service businesses adds work orders, scheduling and dispatching, time tracking and a mobile app for crews.

## Good for

- Small businesses that keep their books in QuickBooks
- Service and contracting firms that want CRM, estimates and invoices in one place
- Teams that want to mix plans per user

## Worth knowing

- Method:Field Services is priced separately: from $15 per month for field technicians and $45 per month for dispatchers.
- The 25% off is for the first 3 months and needs 3 or more user accounts.
- Annual prepay takes 10% off; after the 30-day grace period an annual plan is not refundable.
- The pages read list a mobile app but no iOS or Android store listing, so platforms show web only.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** To replace Method CRM you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $420 a year.

- You could make: Sales pipeline, quotes and estimates, invoicing and job scheduling: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
