Streak alternatives for Gmail CRM, picked for teams tired of $49 a user

Streak's free plan has email tools and no pipelines. Its first CRM plan, Pro, costs $49 per user per month when you pay annually. Monthly pay is $59, as per Streak's pricing page.

Top picks for Streak's alternatives

  • Pipedrive Growth, $24: syncs Gmail and Outlook, and adds automations.

  • Zoho CRM, free for 3 users, then $14: the free plan lists workflow automation.

  • Copper Professional, $59: syncs Gmail and works through a Chrome extension.

Why teams leave Streak

A user review from April 2024 says Streak emailed on 21 March 2024 that CRM features were leaving the free plan. Today Streak's free plan keeps email and link tracking, snippets, and 50 mail merge sends a day. It holds no pipelines.

Streak Pro is the next step after the free plan, so the jump is large.

Three users cost $147/month on the yearly option ($49 x 3) and $177/month on monthly pay ($59 x 3). Two users cost $1,176 for a year ($49 times 2 users times 12 months).

Price is one complaint about Streak. An answer written around 2016 in a Quora thread asking for a good Streak alternative found Streak crowded and preferred NetHunt's follow up flags inside the email.

Streak also lists only Safari and Chrome as supported browsers, and it keeps automations on Pro+.

What 5 users cost on plans with automation

Take 5 users for 12 months. For each tool, pick the cheapest plan on its pricing page that offers automations together with email sequences or bulk email.

Pipedrive Growth costs $24 for each user, each month. For 5 users over 12 months, that is $1,440.

Streak Pro+ costs $69 for each user, each month. For 5 users over 12 months, that is $4,140.

Streak Pro+ costs $2,700 more than Pipedrive Growth ($4,140 minus $1,440) and $2,400 more than Teamopipe Growth ($4,140 minus $1,740).

Copper Professional costs $600 less ($4,140 minus $3,540). On monthly pay, Streak adds $1,200 to its yearly price ($5,340 minus $4,140). Copper, Teamopipe, and Pipedrive each add $600.

The plans do not match feature for feature, so check each limit before you move.

Streak Pro or Pro+: where automation starts

Streak Pro has pipelines, shared contacts, mail merge, and 20 AI credits per user. Automations, direct integrations such as Calendly and Typeform, and Zapier starts at Pro+.

It costs $69 per user on the yearly option and $89 on monthly pay, per Streak's pricing page.

Streak Enterprise costs $129 and $159 and adds custom roles, data validation, dedicated support, and custom billing.

For 3 users, Pro is $147 a month, and Pro+ is $207 ($69 times 3). Streak Pro+ adds $60 a month, or $720 a year.

It also adds advanced reports and archived users, per Streak's Pro+ announcement of 9 December 2024, and its API gains webhooks.

Streak's AI credits rise with the plan: 20 per user each month on Pro, 150 on Pro+, and 500 on Enterprise.

The team shares one pool, and unused credits do not roll over. A 5 user Pro+ team gets 750 credits a month.

Deal summaries cost 1 credit each, and extra packs start at 1,000 credits for $100 a month.

Can some teammates pay less on Streak?

No. Streak's pricing FAQ says: "Streak doesn't have separate pricing for users who only need to view data." Every user counts as a paid user, and everyone on a team must use the same plan.

Archived users are the one relief on Streak, and they start at Pro+. Each paid user lets a team archive 2 users and keep their email history without paying for Streak or Google licenses. A team of 6 can archive up to 12 users.

Streak alternatives by who they suit

Free or under $20 a user

Bigin by Zoho CRM.

Express costs $7 per user and adds 3 team pipelines, 50,000 records, 30 automations, and connections to Google Workspace and Microsoft Outlook.

Premier costs $12 and Bigin 360 costs $18, per the Bigin pricing page. I'd start here if you work alone or with a few people on a tight budget.

Zoho CRM.

Standard costs $14 per user and adds multiple sales pipelines, mass email, and Gmail and Outlook connections.

Professional costs $23 and Enterprise costs $40, per the Zoho CRM pricing page. Standard suits a small team that wants Gmail sync without Streak's $49 floor.

Capsule.

Starter costs $18 per user, Growth costs $36, and Advanced costs $54, per the Capsule pricing page. The page describes Starter as for businesses with 1 to 5 employees.

It suits a small team that wants a plain list of contacts and deals.

HubSpot Sales Hub.

Starter is listed at $7 per user, next to a crossed-out $20. Read which of the two numbers your checkout shows before you plan around it. Details sit on the HubSpot Sales Hub pricing page.

Close.

Solo costs $9 per user and $19 on monthly pay, and it is limited to 1 user and 10,000 leads with no workflows.

Essentials costs $35 and adds unlimited contacts and leads, plus built-in email, calling, and SMS.

Workflows start at Growth, $99, per the Close pricing page. Solo suits one person who calls leads.

Streak CRM alternatives for teams that need automation

Pipedrive.

Lite costs $14 per user, and Growth costs $24. Growth is the first plan with full email sync for Gmail, Outlook, or a company email, and it adds automations and email sequences.

Monthly pay is $19 for Lite and $34 for Growth, per the Pipedrive pricing page.

Teams that find it too costly can compare more Pipedrive alternatives.

Teamopipe.

Teamopipe runs inside Gmail or in a browser tab. Starter costs $19 per user, with 2,500 active deals and 3 automations for the whole workspace.

Growth costs $29 and raises that to 10,000 deals and 10 automations, with email campaigns, sequences, and reporting.

Pro costs $49 with unlimited deals, per the Teamopipe pricing page. After the 14 day trial, an unpaid workspace turns read only, and the data stays exportable.

Copper.

Basic costs $23 per user with 2,500 contacts. Professional costs $59 with 15,000 contacts, workflow automation, bulk email, and integrations.

Business costs $99 with unlimited contacts. Monthly pay is $29, $69, and $134, per the Copper pricing page. Copper lists Gmail email, contact and file sync, and a Chrome extension.

NetHunt CRM.

NetHunt works inside Gmail, and its pricing page lists an extension for Safari and Firefox users too.

Basic costs $24 per user and Basic Plus costs $34. Monthly pay is $30 and $42. Sales automation starts at Business, listed at $60 on monthly pay with no yearly price, per the NetHunt pricing page.

Startups under 3 years old can apply for 75% off Business for the first year.

Auto logging and prospecting

Salesflare.

Growth costs $29 per user and captures CRM data automatically. It tracks emails, links, and website visits, and adds a LinkedIn sidebar, an email sidebar, and a mobile app.

Pro costs $49 and adds email workflows and user permissions. Enterprise costs $99 with a 5-user minimum, per the Salesflare pricing page. I'd pick it when logging by hand is what slows your team.

folk.

Standard costs $24 per member, with pipeline management, email campaigns, contact enrichment, a LinkedIn extension, and email, calendar, and WhatsApp sync.

Premium costs $48 and adds custom objects and deals, email sequences, and dashboards, per the folk pricing page. New workspaces get a 2-week trial.

Apollo.

Apollo pairs lead search with pipeline tracking. Free costs $0 and includes Gmail and Salesforce extensions plus 2 sequences.

Basic costs $49, Professional costs $79, and Organization costs $119 with a 3-user minimum, per the Apollo pricing page. More choices sit in our Apollo alternatives list.

Free Streak alternatives and where each one stops

Streak's free plan holds no pipelines. Five alternatives offer free plans with a hard cap:

  • Zoho CRM: free forever for 3 users, with contact management, follow-up reminders, and workflow automation. Standard comes next, at $14.

  • Bigin: 1 user, 500 records, 1 pipeline and 3 automations. Express comes next, at $7.

  • Capsule: 2 users, 250 contacts, 1 sales pipeline and 5 custom fields. Starter comes next, at $18.

  • HubSpot Sales Hub: up to 2 users with no credit card. Starter comes next, listed from $7.

  • Apollo: Gmail extension, 2 sequences and 900 credits per user per year, granted monthly. Basic comes next, at $49.

The Capsule contact cap and the Bigin record cap are the two to watch, because both are small. Zoho CRM gives the most users for free.

Streak alternatives for Outlook and Firefox users

Streak works inside Gmail. Its help center page on areas outside Gmail and the web names Safari and Chrome as the two browsers it actively supports. It says it can't dedicate resources to more at this time.

Pipedrive Growth syncs Gmail, Outlook, or a company email.

Zoho CRM Standard lists Gmail and Outlook connections. Bigin Express lists Google Workspace and Microsoft Outlook.

Capsule Free sends email through a Gmail or Outlook account.

For Firefox, NetHunt lists an extension for Safari and Firefox users, and Teamopipe opens in a browser tab.

Questions about Streak and its alternatives

What is the best Streak alternative?

For a Chrome extension that syncs Gmail, Copper Professional is $59.

Is Streak still free?

Streak has a free plan, and it holds email tools only: email and link tracking, snippets, 50 mail merge sends a day, Streak Share and thread splitter. It has no pipelines.

The CRM starts at Pro, $49 per user on the yearly option. A free 14 day trial of Pro+ is offered.

Is Streak a good CRM?

Streak is a CRM that runs inside Gmail. It suits teams that need unlimited contacts, pipelines and records, which every paid plan includes.

Automations cost $69 per user. Streak lists Safari and Chrome as its supported browsers.

How do I move my data out of Streak?

Streak's pricing page lists import and export through Google Sheets, CSV or Excel on every plan. Export your pipelines first.

Then check that fields such as LinkedIn profile links arrived in the new CRM. One user review says those had to be entered again by hand after an import.

Which one to pick

Start with the free plan that fits your user count: Zoho CRM for 3 users, HubSpot or Capsule for 2, Bigin for 1. If you need automations, price Pipedrive Growth and Teamopipe Growth for your own user count first.

Streak Pro at $49 stays reasonable for 1 or 2 users who live in Gmail on Chrome or Safari. Each pricing page can change, and yearly versus monthly pay moves a 5 user bill by $600 to $1,200.
