Momentum vs SharpSpring

SharpSpring was acquired by Constant Contact and now sells as Constant Contact Lead Gen & CRM. It focuses on marketing automation and lead scoring, with texting and call tracking usually coming from separate tools. Momentum includes both in the base plan. Here's how they compare.

This comparison is a high-level fit guide, not a promise of one-for-one feature parity. Product plans and limits change, so confirm current requirements with each provider before switching.

Day-to-day differences

Where the choice shows up in your workflow

01

Two-way texting included

SMS is in the base plan and lands in the same inbox as calls and email, rather than coming from a separate texting subscription wired in.

02

Follow-up on autopilot

Calls are tracked and logged, and a missed one gets texted back within seconds — without a call-tracking tool sitting between the phone and the CRM.

03

CRM and marketing in one login

Contacts, pipeline, pages, campaigns, and messaging are one product, so there is nothing to keep in sync between subscriptions.

04

One flat price

The price is published and flat. You can work out your monthly cost without going through a quote.

Best-fit guide

Which one is right for you?

Choose SharpSpring if

  • Behavioral lead scoring is genuinely how you decide who to call
  • You're already inside the Constant Contact ecosystem
  • You have separate texting and call-tracking tools you intend to keep

Choose Momentum if

  • You want texting and call tracking in the base plan, not bolted on
  • You want a published price rather than a sales quote
  • You want follow-up to fire the moment a call or text comes in

Pricing context

Compare the full setup, not one line item

Momentum starts at $197 CAD/month for the Momentum Lite plan (for one-person shops), with two-way texting and call tracking already included. Constant Contact Lead Gen & CRM, formerly SharpSpring, is increasingly quoted rather than published, and businesses commonly add separate texting and call-tracking tools on top.

For an accurate comparison, include the seats, contacts, messaging volume, setup, and add-ons your own workflow requires.
