What are the best Lightfield alternatives?

SalesCrew, Attio, Day AI, folk and HubSpot. SalesCrew ranks first on control: every action in the app is also an MCP tool, every AI action waits in one approval queue you control, and every client gets their own database. Core is $299 a month with unlimited seats.

How is Lightfield priced?

Lightfield prices its Starter plan per user and its Pro, Growth and Enterprise plans per workspace, billed annually. Workspace credits pay for automations, sequences and enrichment. Starter comes with a free trial, per lightfield.app/pricing in September 2026.

Which AI-native CRM lets me approve what the AI does?

SalesCrew puts every AI action through one approval queue. Each agent runs in off, draft, review or auto mode and starts in review. Each queued item shows the artefact, the evidence behind it, a confidence score and the cost, and one kill switch stops every agent.

Can I use my own AI key with SalesCrew?

Yes. With BYOK your own Anthropic key is stored in Vault and your usage does not draw on the SalesCrew AI allowance. BYOK is a $99 a month add-on.

SalesCrew includes unlimited seats on every tier, from $299 a month.

How we ranked the field

We read each vendor's own pricing and documentation pages in September 2026 and left review sites out.

Evaluated from Lightfield's own documentation and pricing, September 2026.

AI-native CRMs all promise that the AI does the data entry. So the ranking asked what happens after that. Can an outside AI client act on the CRM through MCP? Does a person approve what the AI sends? Who holds the database, and what does a growing team pay? A tool earned its place on those answers, not on its demo.

What to check before you switch

Look at what Lightfield captured for you. Meeting recordings and transcripts are the part most teams forget. Export what you want to keep before your plan ends.

Then map your records. SalesCrew brings contacts, companies, deals, notes and tasks across from a CSV export, and your mailbox connection backfills 90 days of email on the first sync. Deals and companies can also be created by an AI client through the MCP tools, so a Claude session can finish the move while you watch the audit log.

Decide what the AI may do on its own. In SalesCrew, research, tagging, scoring and summaries run automatically by default. Any external send, stage change or contact merge waits for review, and any spend stays human only. You can change each rule in Agents, Guardrails.
