Alternatives to Copper
CRM living inside Google Workspace
Copper ranks #8 of 17 in CRM, with an Alt Score of 63. It is proprietary, sold by subscription from $23/user/month and available on Web, iOS and Android. 10 of 10 checklist rows are verified against a public source.
Small to mid-sized, relationship-driven businesses (agencies, consulting firms, financial services, construction, and similar service-based teams) that already run on Google Workspace and want a CRM that lives inside Gmail rather than a separate tool.
A contact and company database that auto-populates from Gmail and Google Calendar activity, plus drag-and-drop sales pipelines with task and email automation. Closed deals can convert into projects for post-sale delivery and team collaboration. Includes custom reporting dashboards, revenue forecasting, and a mobile app that logs calls and texts automatically.
Copper installs as a Gmail/Google Workspace add-on and pulls contacts, emails, and calendar events into records automatically. Users capture leads (web forms, LinkedIn, business cards, email), move them through customizable pipeline stages with automated reminders and follow-ups, and convert won deals into tracked projects.
