Creatio

Creatio is a CRM and workflow automation platform for marketing, sales, and customer service teams. Its product family includes Creatio Sales, Creatio Marketing, Creatio Service, Business Studio, and AI Studio.

The platform uses visual no-code tools, natural-language configuration, embedded AI, and workflow automation. Organizations can adapt CRM processes without building every change through traditional software development.

Creatio was founded in 2014 and is headquartered at 53 State Street, Floor 37, Boston, Massachusetts. Katherine Kostereva is the company’s founder and chief executive officer.

Creatio supports sales pipeline management, lead handling, account management, forecasting, guided selling, sales document orchestration, and cross-sell workflows.

Marketing capabilities include campaign management, lead nurturing, audience segmentation, multichannel communication, event management, and attribution of marketing activity to pipeline outcomes.

Service capabilities include case management, omnichannel support, agent workspaces, service-level monitoring, knowledge management, and customer communication workflows.

Business Studio provides visual tools for configuring applications and automating processes. AI Studio supports the creation and governance of AI agents, while the CRM interface includes conversational and embedded AI functions.

Creatio supports integration through REST-based services, OData 3 and OData 4, custom web services, DataService, and a service for starting business processes from external applications.

Creatio uses a modular pricing model. Business Studio platform plans start at $40 per user per month for Growth and $55 per user per month for Enterprise. The Unlimited plan uses custom pricing and removes per-user limits across the platform.

Creatio Sales, Creatio Marketing, and Creatio Service can be purchased separately at $15 per user per month each, according to the vendor’s CRM pricing information. The Unlimited plan includes all CRM products.

Creatio also advertises a 14-day free trial with access for an unlimited number of users. The pricing page states a minimum of five users for platform plans.
