Small business software pricing should be transparent, predictable and fair — which is exactly how Small Elephant is structured. Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial for just $1, giving you full access to the platform across every module so you can make an informed decision before committing to a monthly payment. There are no setup fees, no lock-in contracts and no artificial feature restrictions during the trial. What you see in the trial is what you get on the plan.
Small Elephant's pricing is built around the reality of how small and medium businesses grow. You do not pay for modules you never use, and you do not lose access to the features that matter most because they have been moved to an enterprise tier. CRM, invoicing, workflow automation, analytics, HR, projects, customer support, multi-currency, multi-language, role-based access and industry templates are available across all plans — the difference between tiers is the number of users, the volume limits that make sense at each scale, and the depth of configuration options your team needs as you grow.
When you sign up, Small Elephant automatically loads industry-specific fields, workflows, dashboards, reports and forms based on the industry you select during signup, so the platform is ready to reflect your actual business from the moment your trial begins. Whether you are a solo consultant, a team of ten or an SME heading toward fifty staff, there is a plan calibrated to your scale. Every plan is billed monthly in USD with no annual commitment required, though annual billing is available for teams that prefer it.
Quick answers
Small Elephant at a glance
How much does Small Elephant cost per month?
Small Elephant offers three transparent monthly plan tiers — Starter, Growth and Scale — priced to reflect team size and usage volume. All plans are billed monthly in USD with no setup fees, and you can cancel anytime. The best way to evaluate cost is to start the 7-day free trial for $1, which gives you full access to all features before you commit to a plan.
What is included in the 7-day free trial?
The 7-day free trial for $1 gives you complete, unrestricted access to all of Small Elephant's modules — CRM, sales pipeline, invoicing, accounting, HR, projects, workflow automation, analytics, customer support, multi-currency, multi-language and industry templates. There are no feature tiers during the trial; you see and use everything. At the end of seven days you choose the monthly plan that fits your team size and needs.
Are there setup fees or contracts?
No. Small Elephant has no setup fees, no onboarding charges, no annual commitment requirements and no cancellation penalties. You pay month to month on your chosen plan, and you can upgrade, downgrade or cancel from your account settings at any time. Annual billing is available as an option for teams that prefer predictable budgeting.
Do all plans include industry templates and multi-currency support?
Yes. Industry templates, multi-currency, multi-language, role-based access and all core modules are included across every Small Elephant plan — they are not reserved for higher tiers. The plan tiers differ primarily in the number of user seats included, the volume limits for records and storage, and the depth of advanced configuration features available to larger teams.
Can I switch between plans after I start?
Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time from your account settings. Upgrades take effect immediately, and your billing is prorated for the remainder of the current month. Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing cycle so you retain your current plan's capacity through the period you have already paid for.
Is there a discount for annual billing?
Annual billing is available and offers a meaningful saving versus month-to-month pricing for teams that are committed to the platform. The exact annual discount is displayed during checkout after your trial. All annual plans retain the same cancel-anytime flexibility, with unused months refunded on a prorated basis if you choose to leave before the annual term ends.
Start With a 7-Day Free Trial for $1
The best way to understand whether Small Elephant is right for your business is to use it — not to read a feature comparison table. That is why every account starts with a full-access 7-day trial for just $1.
During your trial, every module is available without restriction: CRM and contact management, lead and sales pipeline, invoicing and accounting, HR, project management, workflow automation, analytics, customer support, multi-currency and multi-language. Your industry templates are loaded automatically from the moment you select your sector during signup, so the platform reflects your actual business from day one of the trial.
The $1 trial charge is not a deposit, a commitment or a catch — it is simply a minimal payment that confirms your account is connected to a valid payment method. There is no automatic upgrade to a full-price plan without you actively selecting one at the end of the trial. If you decide Small Elephant is not for you, you stop — no cancellation hoops and no penalty charges.
Most teams make their plan decision within the first three or four days of the trial because the platform is quick to set up with industry templates pre-loaded. By the end of day one, most users have their first contacts imported, their first workflow running and their first invoice sent. By day three, they have enough operational experience to know which plan tier fits their team.
Choose the Plan That Fits Your Team
Small Elephant's three plan tiers are designed for distinct stages of small business growth — from a lean solo or small team setup to a scaling SME with department-level complexity.
Starter — $29/month
Designed for solo operators and very small teams of up to 3 users. Includes CRM, contact management, lead tracking, invoicing, basic accounting, appointment scheduling, document storage, industry templates, multi-currency, multi-language and role-based access. All core modules active. Ideal for consultants, freelancers and micro-businesses getting organized for the first time.
Growth — $79/month
Built for growing teams of up to 10 users who need the full module suite working together. Adds sales pipeline management, project management, HR, workflow automation, marketing automation, customer support ticketing, analytics dashboards and scheduled reporting. Increased record and storage limits. Most popular for service businesses, agencies and B2B SMEs actively scaling their operations.
Scale — $179/month
Engineered for established SMEs with up to 30 users and multi-department operations. Includes everything in Growth plus advanced workflow automation with multi-branch logic, expanded analytics with custom KPI dashboards, priority support, higher volume limits for contacts, projects and invoices, and access to advanced custom fields and form builders. Suited for manufacturing, trading, logistics and any SME managing high transaction volumes.

How Small Elephant Pricing Compares to Running Separate Tools
The real cost of business software is not the monthly line item — it is the total operational overhead of the tools you are running, the time spent switching between them and the errors that appear when their data does not agree.
A typical small business running separate tools pays for a CRM, an invoicing tool, a project management application, an HR platform and a support helpdesk — each with its own monthly subscription, its own login, its own data silo and its own maintenance overhead. When you add the subscription costs together and factor in the time your team spends re-entering data between systems, the true total is almost always higher than it appears from the individual line items.
Small Elephant consolidates all of those functions into one monthly payment, one login and one consistent dataset. There is no integration maintenance, no data reconciliation between systems and no per-module subscription creep as your needs grow. The Growth plan at $79 per month covers what many businesses are paying over $300 per month to replicate across separate tools — often with worse data quality and more administrative effort than a unified platform requires.
This is not a comparison to any specific product. It is simply an observation that fragmented tool stacks carry hidden costs that do not appear on any individual invoice, and that consolidating onto a platform designed to handle everything in one place consistently comes out ahead both financially and operationally.

The 7-day trial for $1 is the most efficient way to resolve most pricing uncertainty because it gives you real experience with the platform rather than theoretical comparisons.

Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
The trial includes complete, unrestricted access to every Small Elephant module — CRM, sales pipeline, lead management, invoicing, accounting, HR, projects, workflow automation, analytics, customer support, multi-currency, multi-language, role-based access and industry templates. There are no feature tiers during the trial. You use the full platform for seven days to make an informed decision, for a single $1 charge.
Small Elephant does not offer a permanent free tier because the platform is designed to deliver genuine operational value from day one, and sustaining that requires the resources that subscription revenue provides. The 7-day $1 trial is a genuine low-risk way to evaluate the full platform before committing. Most teams find this more useful than a free tier with artificially restricted features.
Each plan tier includes a defined number of user seats — up to 3 on Starter, up to 10 on Growth and up to 30 on Scale. If your team grows beyond your current plan's seat limit, you upgrade to the next tier. There are no per-seat add-on charges within a plan; the tier change moves you to the next user count bracket with all its associated capacity increases.
No. All modules listed in the plan are included in the flat monthly fee — there are no module-level add-ons, per-feature charges or usage-based fees layered on top of the plan price. The price you see is what you pay, every month, with no surprises on your invoice.
If you cancel, your account remains active through the end of the current paid period. Before your account closes, you can export your data — contacts, invoices, reports and all records — in standard formats. Small Elephant does not delete account data immediately on cancellation; there is a grace period during which you can reactivate or complete your export.
Yes. Annual billing is available for all plan tiers and offers a saving equivalent to approximately two months free compared to month-to-month pricing. The annual billing option is presented during checkout after your trial. Annual plans retain cancel-anytime flexibility, with unused months refunded prorated if you choose to leave before the term ends.
Small Elephant considers pricing inquiries from qualifying non-profit and educational organizations on a case-by-case basis. Contact the team directly through the demo booking page with details of your organization and intended use, and the team will respond with the options available. This is handled through direct conversation rather than an automated discount code process.
Yes. A valid payment method is required to activate the 7-day trial, and the $1 trial charge is applied at signup to confirm the payment method is active. This protects the platform from abuse while keeping the barrier to entry minimal. No further charges occur until you actively select a monthly plan at the end of your trial period.
