Let’s be honest first

Perfex CRM is a well-established, feature-rich business management system with project management, contracts, proposals, estimates, invoicing, expenses, subscriptions and support tickets built in.

But it runs on its own server, needs a paid license upfront, and its support is time-limited while Bit CRM is a WordPress plugin with a free plan, free support, and native WooCommerce and FluentCart sync.

What Bit CRM Offers

Most CRMs make you pay to unlock the features that actually matter. Bit CRM doesn't.

Leads, Deals, Companies, Invoices, Activities, IMAP email, Bit Form, Bit SMTP, and full WooCommerce sync — all of it is available on the free plan, from day one.

No second server. No cron job. No paid add-on halfway through a workflow.

Also, Bit CRM has MCP, an AI assistant, a workflow builder, and more, which is exactly why Bit CRM is the go-to choice for startups and small businesses that need a real CRM without a real monthly bill.

WHICH ONE IS RIGHT FOR YOU

Where Each CRM Fits Best

Neither tool is the right answer for everyone. Perfex is a mature, all-in-one business suite, while Bit CRM is a WordPress-native CRM that any serious business can use to manage sales and track leads. Here's an honest look at who each one suits best.

Bit CRM fits better when...

  • Your business runs on WordPress and you want a complete CRM inside it
  • You sell through WooCommerce, FluentCart, or SureCart and want that data in your CRM natively
  • You run courses on LearnDash or TutorLMS
  • You want to manage a full sales pipeline and track every lead.
  • You want a free plan to start and free support as you grow
  • You'd rather not set up and maintain a separate server
  • If you want to grow up with a solid ecosystem with affordable price
  • If you want to connect your crm to more platforms for free using automation plugins like Bit Integrations and Bit Flows

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Bit CRM and Perfex CRM.

Bit CRM handles this through the "Task Management Module," letting you create, assign, and track work across your team and customers. The naming differs from Perfex's "Projects" module, but the underlying job of organizing and tracking work is covered.

 
 

For a business already running WordPress, Bit CRM is simpler; it installs like any other plugin and works inside your existing site with no separate hosting to configure. Perfex requires its own PHP and MySQL environment, set up and maintained independently of your WordPress site.

 

Not natively. Because Perfex runs outside WordPress, it has no built-in WooCommerce integration; connecting the two requires custom development or third-party bridges. Bit CRM syncs WooCommerce customer and order data into CRM records natively, and FluentCart, SureCart, LearnDash, and TutorLMS integrations are coming very soon.

Bit CRM includes an MCP-based assistant that lets you ask questions and get answers directly from your CRM data. Perfex CRM does not currently offer a comparable built-in AI assistant.

Because Bit CRM runs inside WordPress, it natively syncs WooCommerce, FluentCart, SureCart, LearnDash, and TutorLMS, something a standalone PHP application cannot do. It also includes an MCP AI assistant, a free plan, free support, WooPayments collection with two-way sync, and native compatibility with Bit Form, Bit Flows, and Bit Integrations.

Yes. Bit CRM’s free plan includes leads, contacts, deals, companies, invoices, activities, task management, IMAP email, WooCommerce and LMS syncs, WooPayments, a dashboard with charts, the MCP assistant, and import. Perfex has no free version; a paid license is required to use it at all.

With Perfex, yes, one license covers one installation, so additional sites require additional licenses. Bit CRM offers both single-site and unlimited-site plans, including a lifetime unlimited plan so that multiple sites can be covered with a single purchase. In simple words, in the case of Bit CRM, one license doesn't mean one site; if you purchase an unlimited-site plan license, under this license you will have unlimited sites.

 

Yes. Records can be exported from Perfex as CSV files and imported into Bit CRM. Each Bit CRM module includes its own import system, so contacts, companies, and deals can be brought into their corresponding modules.
