Best fit
Best for: Every consultant who tracks more than 5 active prospects or clients.
Why pick it: The free tier is genuinely useful — 2 seats, up to 1,000 contacts, deal pipeline, email tracking, and the Breeze AI assistant at no cost. Most solo consultants don't outgrow it for a while, and it connects to nearly every tool in this catalog.
Watch for: If you manage fewer than 5 clients total and use referrals exclusively, a spreadsheet works fine. HubSpot shines when your pipeline has volume.
Best for: Consultants outside Israel who are paid by clients in other currencies.
Why pick it: Local account details in major currencies and transparent conversion fees usually cost much less than bank wires and PayPal.
Watch for: Not available to businesses registered in Israel. It is a payment account, not invoicing; pair it with an invoicing tool.
