Question 1

What is Vedain CRM?

Accepted Answer

Vedain CRM is a modern, cloud-based customer relationship management platform built for sales teams. It helps you manage leads, contacts, accounts, deals, email outreach, and reporting — all in one place, without the complexity of legacy CRMs.

Question 2

Who is Vedain CRM designed for?

Accepted Answer

Vedain is ideal for small to mid-sized sales teams — from solo founders managing their first pipeline to 50-person revenue teams at growing startups. We're especially popular with B2B SaaS companies, agencies, and real estate teams.

Question 3

How is Vedain different from Salesforce or HubSpot?

Accepted Answer

Salesforce and HubSpot are powerful but complex and expensive. Vedain gives you 80% of the features you actually use at a fraction of the cost, with an interface your team will adopt on day one — not after a 3-month implementation project.

Question 4

Does Vedain offer a free trial?

Accepted Answer

Yes! All plans include a 14-day free trial with no credit card required. You get full access to all features during the trial so you can properly evaluate whether Vedain is the right fit for your team.

Question 5

Can I use Vedain solo, or is it just for teams?

Accepted Answer

Vedain works great for individual salespeople, freelancers, and founders who want to stay organized. The Starter plan is designed with solo users in mind. You can always add team members as you grow.

Question 6

Is Vedain available as a mobile app?

Accepted Answer

Vedain's web application is fully responsive and works well on mobile browsers. We are actively developing native iOS and Android apps, which are on our roadmap for 2026.

Question 7

What plans does Vedain offer?

Accepted Answer

Vedain uses simple per-seat pricing: $10 / user / month (USD), ₹500 / user / month (INR, via Razorpay for India), or AED 25 / user / month (UAE, via Stripe). All features are included — no tiered plans, no hidden fees. Annual billing gives you 2 months free.

Question 8

Can I change my plan at any time?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time from the Billing page in your account settings. Upgrades take effect immediately (with a prorated charge). Downgrades take effect at the start of your next billing period.

Question 9

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express) for USD and AED payments via Stripe. For INR payments, we support UPI, Net Banking, cards, and wallets via Razorpay.

Question 10

Do you offer refunds?

Accepted Answer

We offer a no-questions-asked refund within 7 days of your first payment if you decide Vedain isn't right for you. After that, subscriptions are non-refundable, but you retain access until the end of your billing period. Annual plan refund requests are considered on a case-by-case basis.

Question 11

Is there a discount for annual billing?

Accepted Answer

Yes — paying annually gives you 2 months free (equivalent to ~17% off). For example, a 5-seat team pays $8.33/user/month on annual billing instead of $10 — saving $100/year. You can switch to annual billing from your account settings at any time.

Question 12

Do you offer discounts for nonprofits or startups?

Accepted Answer

We love supporting nonprofits and early-stage startups. Please email us at support@vedain.com with details about your organization and we'll see what we can do.

Question 13

Can I connect my Gmail or Outlook account?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Vedain supports two-way email sync with Gmail, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and Outlook via OAuth. Once connected, you can send, receive, and track emails directly inside Vedain without leaving the app.

Question 14

What is email tracking and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Email tracking lets you know when a contact opens your email or clicks a link. When you send an email through Vedain, we insert an invisible tracking pixel. When the recipient opens the email, we log the event and show you the open time, count, and last activity in your CRM.

Question 15

Can I run email campaigns and drip sequences?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Campaigns module lets you build multi-step email sequences, schedule them, and send them to lists of leads or contacts. You can personalize emails with merge tags, track open/click/reply rates, and pause or resume campaigns per contact.

Question 16

What are Workflows and what can they automate?

Accepted Answer

Workflows let you automate repetitive tasks without code. You can trigger actions (send an email, create a task, update a field) based on events (lead created, deal stage changed, form submitted). You can build multi-step sequences with delays and conditional branching.

Question 17

Can I import my data from another CRM?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can import leads, contacts, and accounts via CSV file upload. We provide a field mapping interface so you can match your CSV columns to Vedain fields. We also support custom fields, so you won't lose any unique data from your old system.

Question 18
