CRM
Pipedrive
Sales pipeline CRM for small teams.
What it is
Pipedrive is a sales CRM organised around a visual pipeline, aimed at small sales teams rather than enterprises. The pipeline view is the product: activities are pushed at reps until a deal moves, which suits teams selling a repeatable thing. It is not built for marketing automation or complex account structures, and stretching it there is the usual failure mode.

Pick it or skip it
Pick Pipedrive if
- Sales teams that want a visual pipeline without a heavy CRM rollout
- Small teams — the entry plan is $14 per seat/month billed annually
- Companies that would rather add features by tier than configure everything
Skip it if
- You want a free tier; Pipedrive has none
- You have unassigned seats — billing is per seat whether or not someone is using it
- You are matching an old quote: Pipedrive has been reorganising its plan names and tiers
Our verdict
Good at the one thing it does. If you need marketing automation too, you will end up buying a second tool.
