The sales CRM alternative to Monday that's built to sell, not just track work
Pipedrive helps growing sales teams manage deals, improve visibility, and win more business with a CRM built specifically for selling - not a work-management board repurposed into a pipeline.

Top 3 reasons sales teams switch from Monday
A dedicated sales CRM, not a repurposed work board
Pipedrive is designed around deals, activities, and next actions - built specifically for selling. Monday CRM runs on Monday's board-and-column structure, built first for work management and adapted for sales.
No record caps holding your pipeline back
Monday CRM's Basic plan caps you at 1,000 contacts and deals, with automations excluded. Pipedrive's Lite plan has no such ceiling, so your pipeline can grow without hitting a wall.
Better cost and value, per reviewers
G2 reviewers rate Pipedrive higher for ease of setup, and Pipedrive has no seat minimum - so you pay for the seats you actually need, not a 3-seat floor.

Pricing (paid plans start from)
From $14/seat/month - Lite plan, billed annually, core CRM included
From $12/seat/month - Basic plan, but a 3-seat minimum means the real entry cost is $36/month
"Monday's Basic plan looks cheaper per seat, but its 3-seat minimum means the real entry cost is $36/month - more than double Pipedrive's true single-seat minimum of $14/month."
