CRM guide
Who publishes Best Custom CRM, and how are the lists ranked?
Who publishes Best Custom CRM
Best Custom CRM is published by Black Badger Software Solutions, a software company based in Clearwater, Florida. Black Badger builds custom software, including custom CRMs, mainly for companies of 50 or more employees.
Read the lists with that in mind. A custom build by Black Badger is a ranked entry on every product list, and Black Badger is a ranked entry on the list of firms. Each of those entries says it is ours. We take no commission from any vendor or firm named on this site.
How the Best Custom CRM lists are ranked
Each page answers one question, and the ranking belongs to that question. A product that is second on one page can be sixth on another.
On product lists we weigh how far an option can be shaped to a specific process and who has to do the building and the upkeep. We also weigh what it costs per user at the plan a company of 50 or more employees would need. On the list of firms we rank on what each firm states about pricing, code ownership, size and location.
The custom route is in the top three on every list. It is first on two of them, the main list and the list about replacing a customized Salesforce org, because this site is about custom CRM and those are the questions it answers best. Everywhere else a product or another firm is first.
Where the facts on Best Custom CRM come from
How each product charges, its plan names and its limits are read from each vendor's own website. Facts about software firms are read from each firm's own site. Every entry shows the date the facts were read and links to the source. No prices are printed on this guide. Each entry says how the option charges and lists its pros and cons.
When a vendor or firm does not publish something, the entry says so. We do not estimate prices, and we do not describe the quality of another firm's work.
How often Best Custom CRM is updated
Each page shows the date it was last updated. The facts are rechecked against the sources on a regular cycle, and a ranking is revisited when a price, a plan or a limit changes enough to matter. If a fact here differs from the vendor's page, the vendor's page is right.
