Pipedrive review
A focused sales CRM for teams that need visual pipeline execution and automation.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Pipedrive is a web-based sales CRM for small and medium-sized businesses that need a clear view of leads, deals, contacts and activities. Its customizable visual pipelines put sales execution at the center, while reporting, revenue forecasting, workflow automation and AI-assisted tools support follow-up and decision-making. Native Android and iOS apps extend access to customer data and deals beyond the web platform, and an API is available for connected workflows.
Pricing is structured around paid annual plans. Lite costs $14 per seat per month and includes lead, calendar and pipeline management, AI-powered report creation, a real-time sales feed and 500+ integrations. Growth costs $39 per seat per month and adds full email sync with tracking, automations, nurturing sequences, subscriptions, forecast reports, a meeting scheduler and contacts timeline. Premium costs $59 per seat per month and adds lead generation and routing, custom scoring, company data enrichment, AI-powered multi-email tools, contracts and e-signatures. Ultimate adds fortified account security, phone and email data enrichment, a sandbox testing account and extended phone support. A 14-day trial is available.
The platform fits teams whose core CRM need is pipeline discipline with connected communication. Gmail, Outlook, Google Meet, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Zapier are named integrations, while two-way email synchronization and automated follow-ups help keep sales activity connected to deal stages. Optional products cover email marketing, lead generation, project management, web visitor tracking and document workflows, but Pipedrive’s primary focus remains sales CRM. Choose it when visual pipeline management, mobile access, forecasting and automation are priorities; consider another CRM if a free plan or a broader all-in-one business scope is essential.
