Depot CRM review
A low-cost, web-based CRM for very small contractors managing core sales work.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Sep 2026
Depot CRM is a customer relationship management platform for owner-operators, contractors, local service businesses, consultants, and small agencies. Construction businesses can use it to organize contractor and subcontractor contacts, track leads and deals, manage bid follow-ups, schedule tasks and reminders, and tag contacts by project or trade. Its contact database supports notes, tags, and custom fields, while website forms can create contacts automatically. The product is aimed at small teams that need core CRM and follow-up functions without a high entry cost.
Pricing is a central strength. The Free-Forever plan includes 1 user, 100 contacts, and 200 emails per month, with no credit card required. The paid plan costs $5 per month when billed monthly and includes 1 user, 500 contacts, 1,000 emails per month, and 1 GB of file storage. An annual billing option is also available. The paid tier suits a small contractor that has outgrown the free contact and email allowances, while the free tier covers a narrowly defined solo workflow. The plans keep the product accessible, though the published paid plan still includes 1 user.
For construction sales workflows, Depot CRM combines pipeline and deal tracking with bid follow-up tasks, reminders, email broadcasts with open tracking, website forms, tag- or form-triggered automations, and a reporting dashboard. Project and trade tagging adds useful organization for construction contacts. The trade-off is focus: pipeline customization is basic, the platform is web-based, and integrations and broader platform coverage are limited. Choose Depot CRM if low cost and straightforward contact-to-bid follow-up management matter most. Larger contractors or teams needing broader ecosystem coverage, deeper customization, or more expansive collaboration should consider a different type of CRM.
