Pipedrive vs. Copper CRM
Are feature limits holding back your business? With Pipedrive, you’ll have access to all the tools you need – such as contacts, users and custom fields – without paying nearly as much as you would with Copper.
Pipedrive
Pipedrive is an intuitive, cost-effective CRM. It’s easy to set up, easier to use and gives you the core features you need on all plans.
Copper CRM
Copper is a CRM targeted at small businesses. It integrates well with Google but it’s not the cheapest, and many of its basic features are only unlimited on higher-tier plans.

4 reasons Pipedrive is the best alternative to Copper CRM
Simplicity
Moving deals through your pipeline is a matter of dragging and dropping. Setup is a walk in the park, and if you have any issues you’ll have access to award-winning support, no matter which plan you’re on.
Simplicity is the name of the game for Pipedrive, because your job is to sell, not to figure out how to use complex software, and our job is to help you sell as effectively as possible.
Cost-effectiveness
Copper CRM offers a free trial, but once it’s over you can expect to pay significantly more per user than you’ll be charged with Pipedrive, whatever plan you end up going for. Over time, those small costs can add up and ultimately eat away at your bottom-line profits, which is the last way you want your CRM to affect your business results.
Pipedrive is the more cost-effective option — how important that factor is in your final decision is up to you.
Growth potential
Pipedrive was designed to help businesses of all sizes scale. Our deal suite allows sales managers to set up individual goals for each rep, making it easy to track progress and identify bottlenecks.

Ask fewer questions. Close more deals
Sales representatives shouldn’t be spending sizable chunks of their valuable time trying to figure out how their CRM works. Not only is it an incredibly inefficient way to make use of your talent, it’s downright frustrating — for the reps themselves as well as for the managers trying to guide their teams towards hitting monthly targets.
Pipedrive makes the entire process of opening and closing a deal as easy as it could be. Choose the data you want to add to your deals by using custom fields for specific teams, products and industries. Keep your pipeline uncluttered with lead management software by storing all your prospects in your separate Leads Inbox that makes it easy to qualify them and follow up at a later date. You can also track your win probability and expected close dates for any ongoing deals, while our filtering tools mean you can organize your pipeline data by rep or stage.
Pipedrive’s real power comes from its game-changing simplicity. Quit puzzling over endless features, and get used to closing more deals than ever before.
You can sync your mail and calendar appointments across all your devices in real-time, no matter which platform you’re using
Sales documents will track how your prospects interact with your proposal and remind you when it’s time to follow up
Your leads inbox will help you to stay on top of your active negotiations and ensure you won’t waste time on rotting deals
Feature limits: A thing of the past with Pipedrive
Advanced features are all well and good, but there’s no arguing the fact that if you want to sell more effectively, you need to start with the basics. For most sales teams, that means how many users you can add to your pipeline, how many contacts you can store, and how many custom fields you can create.
With Copper, there are in-built feature limits for even the most basic tools, meaning if you want to even make a proper start on your pipeline you’ll need to upgrade to a higher-tier plan.
With Pipedrive, however, you’ll have access to custom activities, custom fields, contacts and control on the amount of users you can include – across every single plan.
Get specific with reporting
Copper CRM provides reporting information on which deals have been won, which have been lost, and by who. It’s useful information, and it makes it easy to understand at a glance who the strongest sellers are and who’s struggling.
Pipedrive, by contrast, takes reporting to a whole new level. By automatically tracking and recording a wealth of information, Pipedrive makes it possible to get granular with your team’s sales record, no matter how big your organization is.
You can filter the data by user, time period and pipeline, making it possible to customize your CRM to work exactly how you need it to. You can also filter data by custom fields to get granular on metrics important to your specific industry. Take control of your sales performance with Pipedrive’s industry-leading reporting tools.

Pipedrive’s Activities feature has helped Lisa manage her time, while the real-time dashboards means she no longer has to chase after updates; they happen automatically. Learn more about why 360 Payments switched to Pipedrive and how it made all the difference.
Why Gray Matters switched to Pipedrive
Adam Graham, founder of Gray Matters, was already a highly experienced salesman with more than a decade in the game when he decided to start his new company, a consultancy focused on helping creative agencies grow. Despite his extensive experience with CRMs, however, he still opted for Google Sheets at the start — until he found Pipedrive.
Pipedrive rated best CRM for product innovation and user satisfaction
Pipedrive comes top in leading industry comparisons.
SoftwareReviews, a division of Info-Tech Research Group, named Pipedrive as an industry leader in its 2021 Customer Relationship Management (CRM) Data Quadrant and Emotional Footprint Awards.
The highly detailed report uses review benchmark data from CRM software users.
Built for growth
Pipedrive was designed from the start to help businesses of all sizes grow and scale. You can manage your contacts, users and custom fields based on your needs while we also offer smart contact data and an intuitive, easily-customizable product catalog. We even provide dedicated data centers in the EU as well as the USA, so if you’ve got international ambitions, we’ll be with you every step of the way.
Copper CRM is great for small businesses who are happy with their current size and want a straightforward, pared-back CRM. But if you’re trying to scale your business with the Copper CRM, you may have to pay even more to unlock features you get as standard with Pipedrive. Add that to the fact that it’s already significantly pricier per user, and it’s not hard to see why hundreds of companies all over the world are making the switch to Pipedrive.
The last thing you need when you’re trying to scale your business is still another excessive cost. Why pay more for a CRM you’ll soon outgrow when you could get all the features and functionality you need at a lower cost with Pipedrive?
