Overview
Pipedrive was started in Estonia in 2010 by salespeople who wanted a simpler CRM than what was then available, and is now headquartered in New York with offices in Tallinn, Tartu, London, Lisbon, Berlin, Prague, Dublin and Riga.[8] The company is backed by Vista Equity Partners and reports more than 100,000 companies using its CRM.[8]
The product is organised around a visual deal pipeline: each stage is a column, deals are cards and the system prompts users toward the next activity. That design makes it quick to adopt for small and mid-sized sales teams, and a large marketplace adds calling, e-signature and marketing integrations.
Pipedrive publishes tiered per-seat plans and add-ons, but its pricing page blocked automated access during this review, so no prices are quoted here. Its documented limitations are those of a pipeline tool: marketing automation and service features are lighter than in suite vendors and are sold as add-ons rather than built in.
