The verdict

Use both. They don't overlap.

If you run a service business, you likely need both tools for different jobs:

→ Pressio CRM for tracking your active prospects and clients through a sales pipeline. Contacts, deals, tasks, follow-up emails.
→ FluentCRM for your email list — nurture sequences, newsletters, broadcast campaigns to your subscriber base.

Both live inside WordPress. Both store data on your server. They serve different parts of your funnel.
