What Insightly currently offers
Insightly publishes CRM, marketing automation, support capabilities and AppConnect integrations. Its current site also describes MCP access for AI assistants. Check the exact product and subscription rather than treating all advertised capabilities as one included plan.

When to stay with Insightly
Stay when client information reaches the delivery team with enough context and the team trusts the record. First repair unclear ownership or an unused integration before assuming a migration will solve the handoff.
Compare the complete commitment
Separate CRM seats from marketing, support and integration products. Include the work to recreate project stages, reports and automations. Confirm whether a feature is included in your quoted product or supplied through an additional integration.
Nynch Solo: $2,148 per year ($179/month equivalent), annual only, in USD. 1 user, 300 monitored people and 1,000 new prospects a year. Unlimited stored contacts is different from unlimited monitoring. Confirm account entitlements and monitoring frequency before purchase. Confirm the enabled account features. Nynch is not presented as a replacement for every function of the other products here.
A task to run before choosing
Follow one fictional client from an enquiry through a won opportunity to delivery. Ask the delivery owner to find the promise made during the sale and record a follow-up opportunity without duplicating the company.
Reopen a completed project and change the client contact. Check whether open commitments and the new opportunity still point to the right people and whether old reports remain understandable.
Record what was demonstrated and what was only promised.
Include the manual steps and the person responsible for them.
Use fictional or expressly permitted records during evaluation.
Protect the work before switching
Test project links, tasks, custom fields and contact associations alongside sales records. Retain exports and the integration configuration. Do not cancel the existing system before checking the delivery workflow.
Keep an untouched export and access to the original until records, permissions and the daily workflow have been checked. This guide does not promise a native or complete migration to Nynch.
Use the same test for every CRM
Bring one former-client conversation, one meeting and one active opportunity. Record evidence, manual effort, plan limits and the total commitment before choosing.
Choose relationship follow-up, meeting preparation or an opportunity. Each starts at an existing chapter in the complete film and continues from there. These are demonstrations, not customer outcome evidence.
Is Insightly only a CRM without AI or integrations?
No. Its published offering includes integrations and access through AI assistants, alongside CRM and other products. Confirm the specific subscription and test the workflow you need.
When should I keep Insightly?
Stay when client information reaches the delivery team with enough context and the team trusts the record. First repair unclear ownership or an unused integration before assuming a migration will solve the handoff.
What should I check before moving away from Insightly?
Test project links, tasks, custom fields and contact associations alongside sales records. Retain exports and the integration configuration. Do not cancel the existing system before checking the delivery workflow.
Sources and review scope
Vendor sources establish advertised capabilities and commercial terms. They do not prove the performance of a workflow in your account. Demonstrations use example data unless explicitly labelled otherwise.
