Pipedrive: who it fits and who it does not

  • Users who want customizable pipelines and automations
Not for
  • Startups and very small businesses sensitive to entry cost
  • Buyers who need a free CRM (14-day trial only)

The catch
Highly customizable pipeline CRM with 500+ integrations, but paid plans are relatively expensive and add-ons raise cost quickly.
