CrowdStack

Pipedrive

Lite, on an annual plan. Growth, the first tier with automations and two-way email sync, is £39. Premium is £59 and Ultimate £79 a seat a month. Monthly billing costs more and is not published.
Pipedrive UK list prices in GBP, excluding VAT, on annual billing, as published for August 2026. Pipedrive does not publish monthly rates. Check pipedrive.com for the current figure.
Pipedrive stops at the deal. CrowdStack puts the shared inbox, knowledge base and SLAs beside the contact and the pipeline, so the person who sold the deal can see the tickets it raised.
Pipedrive's automations, email sync and forecasting start on Growth. CrowdStack is £28 a user a month with every feature and every product on it.
Pipedrive forecasts from deal values. CrowdStack reads MRR, churn and ARPA straight from Stripe and shows the plan and lifetime value on every contact and company.
Pipedrive's Projects is an add-on for task lists. CrowdStack ships an issue tracker, a public feedback board and a wiki, linked to the same contacts and deals.

Based on Pipedrive's published feature lists in August 2026. “Partly” means the feature exists but is limited to a higher tier, an add-on, or a metered credit. Spotted a mistake? Email support@crowdstack.org and we will correct it.
We would rather you pick the right tool than pick us. Stay on Pipedrive if your team lives in the pipeline all day and wants two-way email sync, sequences, a scheduler and forecasting built in, or relies on the Slack integration and the marketplace. Pipedrive is a very good sales tool. CrowdStack is for teams who want the CRM, the help desk and the Stripe numbers in one place, and who would rather have one price than a tier ladder and add-ons.
For pipeline management, yes. CrowdStack has contacts, companies, deals across multiple pipelines, tasks, custom fields and forms, and adds a shared inbox, knowledge base, Stripe revenue, issues, a feedback board and a wiki. It does not have two-way email sync, sequences, a meeting scheduler or forecasting.
Five users on CrowdStack cost £140 a month at the full rate, with every product and 2500 pooled AI credits included. Five seats on Pipedrive Lite list at £70 a month on an annual plan, or £195 on Growth, the first tier with automations, before any add-ons.
People, organisations and deals export from Pipedrive as CSV and import as contacts, companies and deals, with custom fields mapped across. Email us at support@crowdstack.org before you switch and we will walk through the mapping with you.
Two-way email sync and sequences, a meeting scheduler, sales forecasting, quoting through Smart Docs, a chatbot, a Slack integration and an app marketplace. If your team's day is spent working the pipeline, Pipedrive is the better fit today.
Every product, 500 AI credits per user, one price. Free for 14 days, no card required.
