Frequently asked questions
What does Kolonell include?+
It is a CRM for small businesses with automation and seo tools alongside it. Plans run Gratuit, Starter, Pro, giving a free tier plus Starter and Pro. The same team, Kolonell, agence digitale, also builds sites, stores and landing pages, so web and lead work can come from one supplier.
How much does Kolonell cost at entry?+
The paid Starter and Pro tiers are listed at $670 to $1,250, and per-user pricing is XOF 9,900. A free plan is available, so a small business can start without paying. Those entry figures sit above the €16.66 recorded across this category.
Is there a free plan and a free trial?+
Yes to both. The free plan carries a monthly lead cap with basic scraping and CSV export, and the free trial runs 7 days. The monthly lead cap is the point to watch, since heavier lead volume is what pushes a team toward a paid tier.
Who is Kolonell built for?+
Small businesses, which is the audience Kolonell states, wanting a CRM for lead handling rather than an enterprise suite. The tool list pairs crm work with automation and seo, so teams living in one of those areas get the most out of a single subscription.
What support is available?+
Support runs on email, chat and community, which covers email, chat and a community, with no phone line listed. A help centre appears on 70.2% of brands in this category, so teams wanting a searchable knowledge base should weigh that gap.
What does Kolonell cost per user?+
Per-user pricing for the paid tiers is XOF 9,900, while the median across this category is €18.60. A free plan covers the opening stage of use, so seat cost only starts to matter once a team moves past the free tier.
Does Kolonell build websites and stores too?+
Yes. The builder types listed are site, store and landing, covering site, store and landing page work. An e-commerce plan is also priced on its own at €610, which sits apart from the Starter and Pro subscription tiers rather than being one of them.
Where is Kolonell based?+
It runs from Senegal, and the legal entity is Kolonell, agence digitale, a digital agency founded in 2025. Its plans are listed in more than one currency, so buyers in other markets should check the currency shown on the tier they intend to take.
