Capsule CRM

Overview

Capsule CRM is a UK-built sales and contact management platform popular with small Irish businesses that want a clean CRM sitting alongside Xero. It is published by Zestia Ltd, registered in England, and offers a free plan for up to two users with 250 contacts, plus paid tiers from around 18 US dollars per user per month on the Starter plan. The platform covers contact management, sales pipeline, tasks, email templates and reporting, with premium integrations to Xero, Mailchimp, Zendesk and more on paid tiers. Capsule does not publish specific Irish compliance features such as Revenue integration, and the company does not confirm an EU data centre location on its public pages, so Irish buyers who need guaranteed EU data residency should ask in writing before committing. For Irish accountants, consultants and service firms already running Xero, Capsule is a natural upstream layer for pipeline and referral tracking.
