What does Pipedrive cost?

Pipedrive sells per-seat plans named Lite, Growth, Premium and Ultimate, with paid add-ons on top. Current prices for your region are on pipedrive.com/pricing. Price your real headcount, including the people you plan to hire this year.

Does Pipedrive have an MCP server?

Yes. Pipedrive launched a native MCP server in June 2026, and it has been in Claude's connector directory since August 2026. HubSpot, Close, Attio, Zoho and Monday also publish official MCP servers. In SalesCrew every UI action is an MCP tool and sends wait in an approval queue.

Why do teams leave Pipedrive?

Usually for one of two reasons: they need marketing, forms and attribution beside the pipeline, or they need cold outbound at volume in the same system as the deals. Name which one applies before you compare.

How do I move my Pipedrive data?

Export contacts, companies, deals, notes and tasks as CSV. SalesCrew imports them into its Data Bank, matched on email, with migration help included on every tier, and a standard import completes within 7 business days. Connecting your mailbox over IMAP backfills the last 90 days of threads on the first sync.

Pipeline with weighted forecast and stage breakdown

Teams leaving Pipedrive usually compare SalesCrew ($299 a month, unlimited seats, outbound built in), HubSpot (Starter listed at $20 a seat), Close (Solo from $9 a user) and Attio (Plus from $35 a seat). Choose by whether your next need is outbound, marketing or a flexible data model.

The short answer

Pipedrive sells per-seat plans named Lite, Growth, Premium and Ultimate. Every alternative here except SalesCrew also charges per seat, so the eleventh hire costs another seat.
SalesCrew Core is $299 a month with unlimited seats, and it runs cadences on your own mailbox pool beside the pipeline. Close Solo is $9 a user and Attio Plus is $35 a seat, as of September 2026.
Pipedrive has shipped a native MCP server since June 2026, and so does every option in this comparison. Compare the permission scopes and whether sends wait for a person to approve them.

How we compared these

Evaluated from Pipedrive's own documentation and pricing, September 2026. Every other price and limit comes from that vendor's own pricing page, checked the same month. Pipedrive and Zoho show prices in your region's currency, so their rows name the plans and point to the vendor's page.

The ranking uses three criteria set before scoring: what a 10-person team pays each month, whether outbound runs in the same system as the deals, and whether an AI client can operate the CRM with a person approving sends. Deal-board features are close across this category, so they are left out.
