Act! Pro vs. Act! Premium

Act! v17 Pro Box Shot ImageAct! Pro is geared to clients that need a “Smart Rolodex” that tracks contacts, history and a pipeline.   The Act! Pro user typically doesn’t need a web server, work among multiple locations or require team level security.  Or, they don’t want to need work with a web API.

The front end looks the same for both Premium and Pro, and most plugins work for both editions of Act!.

Act! Pro is great for clients that like stretch their investment for 3+ years, and they are uninterested in paying for annual support.  It’s sold as a perpetual license (buy and hold); then, they can host the data locally for years until the Windows or Office environment is no longer compatible with Act!.  Here is the deep dive chart.
