Tooling Studio Sales CRM review
A low-cost Gmail CRM for individuals and small teams tracking contacts and deals.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Tooling Studio Sales CRM is a cloud CRM for individuals and small teams that manage contacts, organizations, deals, and pipelines in Google Workspace. It can run as a standalone web app or through a Chrome extension that provides a Gmail sidebar for contact and deal records. Google Contacts import, custom fields, notes, reminders, filters, and Kanban-style pipelines keep everyday sales tracking close to email rather than requiring a broad sales platform.
Pricing is straightforward: Personal is free per month and includes unlimited contacts, organizations, deals, and pipelines, along with Google Workspace embedding, Google Contacts import, custom fields, tags, notes, comments, reminders, attachments, filters, and table views. Teams costs $5 per user per month, billed monthly, and adds shared CRM access and assignment of contacts, organizations, and deals while retaining Personal capabilities. There is no trial card requirement. This makes the entry point practical for solo users, while teams should account for the per-user charge as access expands.
The strongest fit is a Google-centric workflow: Gmail, Google Contacts, Google Calendar, and Google Workspace are listed integrations, and MCP access exposes structured CRM data to AI tools, including Claude AI through MCP. Users can update pipeline stages with drag-and-drop, then use ownership and reminders to keep follow-ups visible. The tradeoff is a narrow footprint: the listed platforms are web and Chrome extension, and the integration set is oriented around Google tools plus Claude via MCP. Teams needing a wider ecosystem or support beyond email should consider another CRM; solo users and small teams wanting basic pipeline management alongside Gmail are the natural audience.
