Pipedrive is built for teams whose day revolves around moving deals from one stage to the next. The Lite plan covers lead, calendar and pipeline management, spreadsheet or CRM import, AI-powered report creation and access to more than 500 integrations, including Zapier, Zoom and Lemlist. Pipedrive Nova, its meeting intelligence tool, prepares a brief before each meeting, transcribes calls and proposes CRM updates for you to approve. Growth adds full Gmail or Outlook sync with bulk email and open and click tracking, and Premium adds LeadBooster for capturing leads and routing them to reps automatically. There is no permanent free plan, but every plan has a 14-day trial with no credit card, and paying annually saves up to 42%. Our location showed prices only in euros, so the USD price is marked pending. The main caveat for a first CRM is that email sync, which most small teams want, starts one tier above Lite.
