We get a lot of ideas for new features from you, our partners, since you are at the forefront of communicating with Bitrix24 clients, existing and potential. Here are some of the recent product updates and changes.
Plan Compatibility Check
This is a tool we developed to help users adapt to the new limitations we introduced recently and prompt them to upgrade their plan to retain the functionality they currently have. The tool scans the user's account and shows which features are not compatible with their current plan.

Top 5 marketing tips from Bitrix24
Offer Bitrix24 as a suite of business tools
Standalone solutions don’t add any extra value. Suites do. There are very few (if any) companies out there who offer all the tools that we do, cross-integrated and combined in a nice, convenient cloud package.
Leverage the “no per-user pricing” factor
Plans with flat pricing always work great in the consumer arena and help Bitrix24 stand out among other SaaS businesses.
Think locally, act globally
Do not limit your audience to your city, region, or country. Your potential customers could be anywhere - Brazil, India, US, Vietnam, New Zealand, or Peru. Bitrix24 is a truly international product that you can market and sell to any business out there.
Spend money on ads
At least 25% of your profits should go into paid advertising. Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and even TikTok. Invest in both inbound and outbound marketing, producing useful content that might spark an interest in your potential customers.
Participate in key vendor activities
Follow our sales and promotions to drive additional traffic to your website and social media accounts. Every “touch” you make brings the sale closer.
