Strkr vs Insightly: which CRM-plus-Projects platform is right for you?
Insightly is the long-standing CRM that shipped project management from day one. Strkr is the newer platform that ships CRM, Marketing, Projects, Messaging, Products, and Forecast on one record with flat per-seat pricing. This is the honest side-by-side.
Strkr and Insightly both answer the same opening question: what if you could run sales and post-sale delivery off a shared contact record without renting a separate project tool and paying a sync vendor to hold the two sides together? Insightly has been in-market since 2009 and was one of the first CRMs to ship a built-in Projects surface instead of pushing buyers to Asana or Basecamp. Strkr is a newer platform that treats CRM, Marketing, Projects, Messaging, Products, and Forecast as co-equal first-class modules under one tenant. The products converge on the goal, diverge on how deep they go on each module, and diverge further on how modern the authoring surface feels in day-to-day use. Picking between them is a two-year commitment because the pipeline, project history, and automation debt builds up fast in either tool. Here is what buyers actually come looking for when they type "strkr vs insightly" into a search bar, and what the honest answer looks like on each dimension.
Pricing shape
Flat per-seat versus CRM-plus-Marketing-plus-Service tiers.
Insightly prices CRM, Marketing, and Service on separate SKUs that stack. The CRM tier starts around twenty-nine dollars per user on the entry plan and climbs for Plus and Professional, Marketing is a separate line item priced on contact tiers, and Service is a third module with its own per-seat charge. Strkr prices per seat across the full module surface with no module-tier upcharges. For a team that only buys Insightly CRM today, the per-seat number looks competitive. For a team that will eventually want Marketing and Service alongside the CRM, the combined Insightly bill climbs quickly while the Strkr bill tracks headcount only.
Project management depth
Built-in Projects since 2009 versus modern Projects v2.
Insightly is one of the only legacy CRMs that shipped Projects natively from the beginning. The surface is competent for simple task-list and milestone tracking: convert a won opportunity to a project, assign tasks, track milestones, log activities. Strkr Projects ships a modern software-delivery surface: issues, sprints, epics, releases, boards, roadmap, dependencies, capacity planning, bulk actions, and saved views. For teams whose delivery looks like a client-services task list, Insightly covers it. For teams whose delivery looks like software or structured sprints, Strkr goes deeper.
Interface and UX
Modern design system versus dated interface.
This is the single most common feedback thread from Insightly users who are shopping: the interface has not kept pace with newer CRMs. Dense menus, legacy form layouts, inconsistent iconography, and a general feel that the product was designed years ago show through in daily use. Strkr ships a modern design system across every module: clean typography, consistent iconography, inline editing, keyboard-first navigation, and dense but readable list views. UX is not a feature spec; it is where reps and admins spend forty hours a week.
Marketing module
Native Marketing at parity depth versus bolt-on add-on.
Insightly Marketing exists as a separately-SKU-ed module priced on contact tiers. The feature set covers email campaigns, basic journeys, landing pages, and lead scoring, but the module has a bolt-on feel and the authoring surface sits apart from the CRM UX. Strkr Marketing ships native in the same tenant with the same design system, same navigation, same records. Lifecycle Flows, segmentation, lead scoring, and email campaigns all live on the shared contact record without a module switch.
Messaging
Native SMS and MMS, BYO Twilio versus no first-party SMS.
Insightly does not ship a native SMS or MMS surface. Teams that run outbound SMS, inbound SMS, or two-way conversation threads end up adding a dedicated messaging platform (Twilio, SimpleTexting, EZTexting) and either syncing the thread back via webhooks or living with a disconnected channel. Strkr Messaging ships native with BYO Twilio credentials: your short code, your 10DLC registration, and your carrier contract stay yours, and the full SMS and MMS thread writes to the record alongside email.
Forecast
Native Forecast module versus pipeline reports.
Insightly ships pipeline reports and dashboard widgets on the Professional and Enterprise tiers. A dedicated submit lock, a weekly commit cadence, manager rollup from rep to directs to directors to VP, and quota-against-commit variance usually get built on top with custom reports or exported to a spreadsheet. Strkr ships Forecast as a first-class module with weekly submit lock, manager rollup, quota tracking per period, variance tracking, and risk signals on individual deals. Teams that run a weekly commit meeting get the right surface without a report builder project.
Automation surface
Flows across every module versus Workflow automation on higher tiers.
Insightly Workflow Automation is gated to the Professional and Enterprise CRM tiers and covers CRM-object triggers. Insightly Marketing has its own journey builder. The two engines sit side by side rather than reaching across each other. Strkr Flows ships one authoring surface that triggers off any object across CRM, Marketing, Projects, Messaging, and Products. One engine, one audit log, one place to look when a Flow misfired.
Where Insightly wins
Insightly is the better pick when SMB tenure, G Suite integration, and simple delivery carry the decision.
Insightly has shipped CRM-plus-Projects software since 2009, built a mature partner ecosystem in the SMB consulting space, and holds a legitimate pricing edge on the entry CRM tier if you are not buying Marketing or Service alongside. Those advantages are real and worth naming honestly. If your motion is small-team sales with a light task-list delivery component, if your email backbone is Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 and you want the deepest native integration available, Insightly carries weight that Strkr does not try to match. The cards below are where Insightly lands harder in this comparison.
Entry CRM pricing
Twenty-nine dollars per seat on the mid-tier plan.
If you are buying CRM and only CRM, Insightly Plus at roughly twenty-nine dollars per user and Professional at roughly forty-nine dollars per user land cleanly in the affordable SMB zone. For a two-to-ten-person sales team that does not need Marketing, Service, or a dedicated project surface beyond task-list tracking, the Insightly CRM-only line item is competitive. Strkr pricing starts on a paid tier and includes the full module surface, which is more cost if your motion only needs the pipeline today. See /pricing for current tiers.
Google Workspace integration
Deep two-way sync with Gmail, Calendar, and Drive.
Insightly has shipped Google Workspace integration since early in its tenure and the surface is deep: two-way email sync, calendar sync, Drive attachments on records, and a Gmail sidebar. Teams whose email backbone is Google Workspace will find the Insightly surface more mature than many younger CRMs. Strkr ships native Gmail and Calendar sync at parity for the common cases, but Insightly carries deeper historical investment in the Google surface.
Microsoft 365 integration
Native Outlook, Teams, and OneDrive support.
Alongside Google Workspace, Insightly ships deep Microsoft 365 integration: Outlook sidebar, two-way calendar sync, Teams meeting attachments on records, and OneDrive document support. For teams split between Google and Microsoft or standardized on Microsoft, this is a cleaner historical fit than many newer CRMs. Strkr ships native Microsoft 365 integration for Mail and Calendar but Insightly carries deeper tenure on the full Office surface.
Projects for client services
Simple task-list and milestone project tracking.
Insightly Projects is competent for the client-services motion: convert a won opportunity, create a project, add tasks and milestones, assign owners, track activities, close the project. The surface was built for consultancies, agencies, and services firms that run light project delivery without software-style sprints. For teams whose project motion is a checklist against a timeline rather than a sprint backlog, Insightly covers the shape cleanly.
Long tenure and stability
In-market since 2009 with a mature SMB base.
Insightly has been live since 2009 and holds a stable SMB customer base. The company is not going anywhere, the product has survived the full CRM boom-and-consolidation cycle, and buyers who prize vendor longevity will find Insightly a known quantity. Strkr is a newer platform and buyers who require decade-plus vendor tenure as a procurement gate will land cleaner on Insightly.
Partner ecosystem
Mature SMB consulting network.
Insightly has built a long partner and consultant network over its tenure, especially in the SMB space. If your preferred buying motion is to hire a local Insightly consultant to configure, train, and run the platform, that network exists. Strkr is newer and the consultant pool is smaller; buyers who require a certified local implementation partner today will find more Insightly options.
Lead routing
Mature assignment rules on Professional and Enterprise.
Insightly ships mature lead-routing and assignment rules on the Professional and Enterprise tiers: round-robin, territory-based, weighted assignment, and conditional routing. For teams that have run Insightly lead routing in production, the rules library is familiar and well-documented. Strkr ships lead routing with similar primitives but Insightly carries longer tenure on the specific feature.
Mobile for field teams
Business-card scanner and offline mode.
Insightly has shipped a mobile business-card scanner and offline mode for years, built for field sales and services teams who work from the road or outside connectivity. Strkr ships competent iOS and Android pipeline apps with activity logging and calendar sync, but Insightly has historically carried a slightly deeper mobile field-team feature set.
Where Strkr wins
Strkr is the better pick when modern UI, native Marketing, native Messaging, and deeper Projects matter.
Insightly ships CRM-plus-Projects natively but prices Marketing and Service as separate SKUs, carries a dated authoring surface, and leaves Messaging and dedicated Forecast as either partner integrations or custom-report workbench projects. Strkr ships those modules native on the same record and prices them per seat without module-tier upcharges or contact-tier escalators. The cards below are where Strkr lands harder in this comparison.
Modern UI
A design system that reflects 2026 CRM expectations.
Strkr ships a modern, consistent design system across every module: clean typography, consistent iconography, inline editing, keyboard-first navigation, dense-but-readable list views, and keyboard shortcuts for common actions. Insightly works, but the authoring surface shows its age: legacy form layouts, inconsistent navigation patterns, denser menus, and a general look-and-feel that reflects the earlier design era. Interface quality is where reps and admins spend forty hours a week; it is not a cosmetic concern.
Native Marketing at parity
Marketing in the same tenant, not a separately-SKU-ed module.
Strkr Marketing ships native in the same tenant with the same design system and authoring UX as CRM: email campaigns, segmentation, lifecycle Flows, lead scoring, forms, and landing pages all live on the shared contact record. Insightly Marketing is a separate SKU priced on contact tiers with a bolt-on authoring surface. For teams that want marketing and sales to live in one authoring surface rather than two, Strkr is the cleaner shape.
Projects module v2
Sprints, releases, goals, roadmap, dependencies.
Strkr Projects ships a modern software-delivery surface: issues with full custom field types, sprints with capacity planning, epics with linked issues, releases with notes generators, goals with key results, roadmap views with drag-to-reschedule, dependencies (blocker and blocks), board views with density and color-by options, bulk actions, and saved views. Insightly Projects covers task-list and milestone tracking but does not ship sprints, releases, goals with KRs, or dependency management as first-class primitives.
Native Messaging
SMS and MMS on the record with BYO Twilio.
Strkr Messaging ships native SMS and MMS with BYO Twilio support. Your short code, your 10DLC registration, and your carrier contract stay yours. The thread writes to the contact and deal record alongside email. Outbound campaigns, transactional sends, inbound replies, and consent management live inside the CRM. Insightly does not ship a native SMS or MMS surface; teams that need messaging add a dedicated platform and either sync via webhooks or live with a disconnected channel.
Native Forecast
Weekly submit lock, manager rollup, risk signals.
Strkr Forecast ships as a first-class module: weekly commit cadence, submit lock to freeze the number after the deadline, manager rollup from rep to directs to directors to VP, quota tracking per period, variance against commit, and risk signals on individual deals. Insightly ships pipeline reports and dashboard widgets but a dedicated submit lock and weekly cadence usually get rebuilt on top with custom reports or spreadsheets.
Flat per-seat pricing
One number across the full module surface.
Strkr prices per seat across CRM, Marketing, Projects, Messaging, Products, Forecast, Flows, and Docs under a single tenant with role-based access. Insightly prices CRM, Marketing, and Service on separate SKUs that stack. For teams buying the full stack, the Strkr bill tracks headcount only; the Insightly bill tracks headcount plus marketing-contact tiers plus the Service SKU per seat. See /pricing for current tiers.
Flows across every module
One automation engine, every object.
Strkr Flows ship one authoring surface that triggers off any object across CRM, Marketing, Projects, Messaging, and Products. A new deal creates a project, enrolls in a nurture, fires an SMS to the AE, and alerts the CS owner, all in one Flow with one audit log. Insightly runs Workflow Automation on CRM-object triggers and a separate journey builder in Insightly Marketing; the two engines sit side by side rather than reaching across each other.
Products and quoting
Native line items, quotes, and renewal clocks.
Strkr Products ships native line items, quote generation, pricing tables, discount approval, and renewal clocks. Quotes write to the deal and renewal dates write to the account record. Insightly ships Products and Price Books on higher tiers but does not match Strkr on native quote generation and renewal-clock automation. For teams running catalog pricing and multi-product sales, Strkr collapses more of the CPQ-adjacent surface into the base tenant.
Docs as a wiki
Internal knowledge base native, not an add-on.
Strkr Docs ships as a native internal wiki in the same tenant, so playbooks, SOPs, onboarding docs, and runbooks live next to the contact and deal records they support. Insightly does not ship a wiki module; teams usually bolt on Confluence, Notion, or Google Docs. Strkr Docs is a wiki surface, not an e-signature product; for signatures, Strkr integrates DocuSign and PandaDoc on the deal record.
Where the two are roughly even
The decision does not hinge on these dimensions.
Insightly and Strkr both ship competent CRM primitives. For a long list of core jobs, the quality is close enough that your decision will not turn on these rows. If a vendor meeting leans hard on one of the categories below as a differentiator, discount the pitch and spend the time on the rows above instead.
Pipeline and deal basics
Both products do opportunities and stages well.
Companies, contacts, opportunities (or deals), activities, custom fields, pipeline stages, kanban views, list views, filtering, bulk edit, and saved views. Both products ship these cleanly. Feature parity on the pipeline core is high enough that most reps will feel at home in either tool within a day.
Email integration
Gmail and Microsoft 365 sync, tracking, templates.
Both products ship Gmail and Microsoft 365 integrations, two-way sync, open and click tracking, templates, and send-later. Insightly has a slightly longer tenure on the Google and Microsoft surfaces; Strkr ships the core engagement surface at parity. Neither will be the reason you pick between them.
Reporting and dashboards
Standard sales dashboards and custom reports.
For the standard reports a sales manager runs (deals won by rep, pipeline by stage, activities logged, win rate by source, average deal size), both products are competitive. Insightly ships a report builder on higher tiers; Strkr ships a dashboard surface with saved views. For non-attribution reporting, both are roughly even.
Permissions and roles
Role-based access on both sides.
Both products ship role-based permissions, team-level visibility, and admin controls. Insightly gets more granular at Enterprise with field-level permissions. Strkr ships a hybrid permissions model with workspace roles plus per-entity membership that handles most mid-market cases without a certified admin.
Data import and migration
CSV import, API, dedicated tooling.
Both products ship CSV importers with field mapping, duplicate detection, and preview. Both ship REST APIs for programmatic data load. Insightly has a larger partner migration network; Strkr ships a cleaner import wizard and faster time to first import. For teams moving off a legacy CRM, both will do the job.
Custom fields and objects
Flexible schema on both sides.
Both products ship custom fields on standard objects, custom pipeline stages, and extensible record layouts. Insightly ships custom objects on Enterprise. Strkr ships a shared custom-field taxonomy across CRM and Projects with a modern field-type picker. For most mid-market schemas, both products cover the shape cleanly.
Security posture
SSO, SAML, audit logs on Enterprise tiers.
Both products ship SSO, SAML, SCIM, and detailed audit logs on their Enterprise or equivalent tier. Both ship encryption at rest and in transit, SOC 2 Type II posture, and standard enterprise controls. For buyers whose security review is the gating factor, both pass the common checklist.
Mobile app
A pipeline in your pocket.
Both products ship competent iOS and Android apps covering pipeline view, log a call, log a note, create a deal, update a stage, and native calendar sync. Insightly ships a mobile business-card scanner. Strkr ships the Messaging thread on mobile. For reps who do most of their work in the pipeline from the road, either app is fine.
Common buyer scenarios
Which one wins for which team.
The honest answer to "Strkr or Insightly" is almost always "it depends on your motion." Below are the archetypes we see repeatedly, with the honest verdict for each. If one of these describes your team, the right pick is the one in the title.
Small team, CRM only
Insightly wins for pure CRM at the entry tier.
If you are a two-to-ten-person sales team buying CRM and only CRM, with no plans for Marketing or Service in the next twelve months, and a lightweight task-list delivery surface is enough, Insightly Plus at the entry per-seat price is a competitive line item. Strkr pricing starts on a paid tier that includes the full module surface, which is more cost than you need today.
Agency or services firm
Strkr wins when delivery looks like sprints and releases.
Agencies, consultancies, and services firms whose delivery is structured by sprints, releases, dependencies, and capacity planning land cleaner on Strkr Projects v2. If your delivery is a task list against a timeline with milestones, Insightly covers it. If your delivery looks like Jira, Linear, or a software-style sprint cadence, Strkr Projects is the deeper surface.
CRM-plus-Marketing team
Strkr wins when Marketing is in scope.
If your motion includes email marketing, lifecycle nurture, lead scoring, and segmentation alongside the CRM pipeline, Strkr Marketing lives in the same tenant with the same authoring UX as the CRM, at a flat per-seat price. Insightly Marketing is a separate SKU with contact-tier pricing and a bolt-on authoring surface. For teams buying both halves, Strkr collapses the stack.
Field sales team
Insightly wins when the business-card scanner and offline mode matter.
Reps who work the trade-show floor, outside-sales territories, or outside connectivity rely on business-card capture and offline mode. Insightly has shipped both for years with a mature mobile surface. Strkr ships competent mobile pipeline and messaging but has not historically prioritized the field-sales feature set to the same depth.
Google Workspace team
Insightly wins at the deepest Google surface.
For teams whose email backbone is Google Workspace and who want the deepest native Gmail, Calendar, and Drive integration available, Insightly carries longer tenure on the Google surface. Strkr ships native Gmail integration at parity for common cases, but Insightly historically holds the depth lead.
Messaging-led outbound
Strkr wins when SMS is a channel.
SDR and AE teams running outbound with SMS, calls, and sequenced email land cleaner on Strkr because Messaging is native with BYO Twilio support and the full thread writes to the record. Insightly does not ship a native SMS surface and you would be adding a second platform.
Modern-UI buyer
Strkr wins when the interface matters.
If your reps and admins have been using modern SaaS tools (Linear, Notion, Figma, Loom, modern email clients) and will push back on a dated authoring surface, Strkr is the modern pick. Insightly is competent but shows its age; teams who have adopted modern tools elsewhere will feel the gap daily.
RevOps-led team
Strkr wins when ops owns the forecast and Flows.
A RevOps hire whose job is to run the forecast cadence, the lifecycle Flows, the project templates, and the enrichment layer lands cleaner on Strkr because those surfaces are native and the admin cost is flatter. Insightly Workflow Automation covers CRM triggers but does not reach into Projects or Messaging the same way.
Multi-product sales
Strkr wins for teams running Products natively.
Sales teams running catalog pricing, line items, bundles, and renewal clocks across multiple products land cleaner on Strkr because Products is native with quoting and renewal clocks. Insightly ships Products and Price Books but does not match Strkr on quote generation and renewal-clock automation.
Head-to-head
Strkr vs Insightly: the honest feature-by-feature table
The table below is a side-by-side on the dimensions buyers ask about most. "Interface and UX" and "Projects depth" are the two rows that drive the most regret in migrations away from Insightly, so read those first. "Google Workspace integration" and "Entry CRM pricing" are the two rows where Insightly still lands harder; if those are core, factor them in before switching. All values below reflect published feature sets as of 2026 and the public pricing shapes each vendor advertises.

The Strkr pitch
Strkr: one record, modern interface, from first touch to renewal.
Insightly gives you a mature CRM with a built-in task-list Projects surface and a dated authoring UX, prices Marketing and Service as separate SKUs, and does not ship native Messaging or dedicated Forecast. Strkr collapses that surface into one tenant with a modern interface and flat per-seat pricing. The point is not that Strkr beats Insightly on every row; it does not. The point is that for a 10 to 80 person B2B team where delivery looks like structured sprints, where Marketing and Messaging are first-class workflows, and where interface quality shows up in daily use, Strkr ships what the stack usually ends up being, in one place. Here is where the comparison lands cleanly.
Modern design system across every module so the interface does not become the thing your reps complain about in year two.
Native Projects v2 with sprints, releases, goals, roadmap, dependencies, and capacity planning for teams whose delivery is structured, not just a task list.
Native Marketing in the same tenant with the same per-seat price so lifecycle Flows, email, segmentation, and scoring live on the shared contact record.
Native Messaging with BYO Twilio support so SMS and MMS live on the record and your short code and carrier contract stay yours.
Native Forecast with weekly submit lock, manager rollup, quota tracking, and risk signals so the weekly commit meeting runs on a module rather than a report builder.
Flat per-seat pricing with no contact-tier escalator and no module-tier upcharge so the bill tracks headcount instead of SKU stacking.
Flows triggers across CRM, Marketing, Projects, Messaging, and Products in one authoring surface so a single automation spans the full lifecycle.
Native Products module for line items, quoting, pricing tables, and renewal clocks so CPQ-adjacent workflows live in the base tenant.
Docs module as a native internal wiki (not an e-signature product; Strkr integrates DocuSign and PandaDoc on the deal record for signatures).
See how Strkr prices and what it ships without a SKU stack.
If Strkr vs Insightly is really a question about whether you can get native Projects v2, Marketing, Messaging, and Forecast on flat per-seat pricing with a modern interface, the fastest path forward is to see the Strkr pricing page and the CRM feature breakdown side by side. Both are linked below. No sales call required to read either one.
If you are buying CRM and only CRM for a small team today, Insightly Plus at the entry per-seat tier is often the cheaper line item. If you are buying CRM plus Marketing plus a project surface for a mid-market team, Strkr lands cheaper on the combined bill because Insightly prices CRM, Marketing, and Service as separate stacking SKUs with Marketing on contact tiers, while Strkr prices per seat across the full module surface. The crossover point is roughly when Marketing enters scope or when your contact list grows past the entry Insightly Marketing tier. See /pricing for current Strkr tiers.
Should I switch from Insightly to Strkr?
Switch if your delivery motion has outgrown Insightly task-list Projects and you need sprints, releases, dependencies, or capacity planning. Switch if your Marketing bill has crossed into pain territory as the contact list grew. Switch if your reps and admins have adopted modern tools elsewhere and the Insightly interface has become a daily friction point. Switch if you want native Messaging on the record. Do not switch if you are using the Insightly business-card scanner and offline field-sales features in production, if your motion is light-weight services with a task-list delivery shape, or if your Google Workspace integration depth is a daily must-have at the deepest tier.
Should I switch from Strkr to Insightly?
Switch if your team is shrinking toward a very small CRM-only motion where you no longer need Marketing, Projects v2, Messaging, or Forecast, and you want the lowest-cost per-seat CRM available. Switch if your motion has pivoted hard into field sales and the Insightly business-card scanner and offline mode are core daily tools. Do not switch if you are using Projects, Flows, Messaging, or Forecast in production, if your delivery looks like structured sprints, or if the modern Strkr interface is part of why your team adopted the tool. The migration back is non-trivial and the ROI depends on how much of Strkr you actually use.
How does the Projects module compare?
Insightly Projects covers the task-list and milestone shape: convert a won opportunity, add tasks and milestones, assign owners, track activities, close the project. It is competent for services-firm delivery that looks like a checklist against a timeline. Strkr Projects v2 ships the modern software-delivery surface: issues with full custom field types, sprints with capacity planning, epics with linked issues, releases with notes generators, goals with key results, roadmap views with drag-to-reschedule, blocker and blocks dependencies, boards with density and color-by, bulk actions, and saved views. If your delivery looks like a task list, Insightly covers it. If it looks like Jira, Linear, or a sprint cadence, Strkr is the deeper surface.
What about Marketing: do I need to buy it separately on Insightly?
Yes. Insightly Marketing is a separately-SKU-ed module priced on contact tiers. The feature set covers email campaigns, basic journeys, landing pages, and lead scoring, but the module authoring surface sits apart from the CRM UX and the pricing is a second line item on your invoice. Strkr Marketing ships native in the same tenant with the same design system and the same per-seat price as the CRM. For teams buying both halves, Strkr collapses the authoring surface into one and removes the contact-tier bill from the equation.
Can I bring my own Twilio credentials for messaging?
Yes on Strkr. Strkr Messaging supports BYO Twilio credentials so your short code, your 10DLC registration, and your carrier contract stay yours. The thread writes to the contact and deal record alongside email, and Flows can trigger SMS and MMS as actions. Insightly does not ship a native SMS or MMS surface; teams that need messaging add a separate platform (Twilio direct, SimpleTexting, EZTexting) and either sync the thread via webhooks or live with a disconnected channel. If your SMS motion is a core workflow (outbound, inbound, transactional), the BYO Twilio approach on Strkr is usually the right split.
How does the admin burden compare?
Insightly admin burden is reasonable for a CRM-only install but climbs when Marketing and Service enter the picture because the three SKUs have distinct authoring surfaces and separate admin consoles. The Workflow Automation surface is mature but gated to higher tiers. Strkr targets a flat admin surface across CRM, Marketing, Projects, Messaging, and Flows so a sales operations manager can run the tenant without certification. Both products scale further with a dedicated operator; Strkr requires less of one on day one when the module surface is wider than CRM alone.
