No, I am not clairvoyant!

I was unaware of the pending price increase when we launched our new RapidStart Sales for Dynamics 365 alternative app.

But we're looking pretty damn smart right now. :)

What's Happening?

Microsoft just announced a price increase for most of their Dynamics 365 Apps.

Effective October 2024.

What Does it Mean?

To be fair, Microsoft has added a lot in the 5 years since they last increased the prices. But this could be the last straw for some customers already on the fence due to cost.

While Dynamics 365 is still less expensive than Salesforce, it will become more expensive for users with basic needs.

This might be the trigger for you to explore RapidStart Sales for Dynamics 365. A simple-to-use essential Sales application alternative that can be installed directly on your existing Dynamics 365 Sales environment.

You no doubt have users for whom you can justify paying $105 USD/pupm for their continued use of the advanced features of the Dynamics 365 Sales App. But if you are thinking of reducing the number of users to offset that cost increase, we have an excellent alternative for your consideration.

We recently launched RapidStart Sales for Dynamics 365, modeled on our highly successful RapidStart CRM for Dataverse, which has over 100K global users. The primary difference is that our new app was built to run on a Dynamics 365 environment, while both solutions use Power Apps licenses.

Why Should You Care?

What if I told you that instead of paying $105/pupm for each of your "basic" users, you could pay as little as $10/pupm?

What's the Catch?

Admittedly, RapidStart Sales for Dynamics 365 is not as powerful as Microsoft's Sales Apps. Many advanced capabilities are not included to comply with the complex licensing terms. Our app is intended for your users who have more basic needs but do not typically use the Advanced Features.

You definitely have those users; the question is, "How Many?"
