Pro vs. Pro+ Plan in ContactBook: Understanding the Differences in Google Sync and ContactBook Space

When it comes to managing business contacts efficiently, ContactBook offers multiple plans tailored to your needs. Two of the most popular options are the Pro Plan and the Pro+ Plan. While they share several features, the major differentiator lies in their Google Contacts Sync capabilities and how they support team collaboration.

‍

In this guide, we’ll dive deep into what each plan offers, focusing on Google Sync and other essential differences so you can make an informed decision.

‍

What is Google Sync in ContactBook?

‍

Google Sync allows you to connect your Google account to ContactBook to manage and synchronize contacts seamlessly. Depending on your plan, Google Sync can work in the following ways:

‍

• One-way sync: Import contacts from Google Contacts into ContactBook for one time.
• Two-way sync: Keep ContactBook and Google Contacts automatically in sync. Any changes made in one will reflect in the other.

‍

The Pro Plan: Simplicity and Control

‍

The Pro Plan is designed for small teams or solopreneurs who want better contact organization without needing full-time synchronization with Google.

‍

Limitations:

‍

• No automatic two-way sync: You cannot keep your ContactBook and Google Contacts updated simultaneously.
