Hey, can anyone suggest a good FREE CRM (for starters)?

Long story short:

I went on a 10 hour "outreach" spree today (I'm not gonna lie - I wanted to tear my hair out making all those comments and posts and I felt my blood pressure shoot up at least 30% above normal) and I was like "Yeah, this isn't going to work..." but I already got a lead, LOL!

But here's the thing...I don't want a gazillion emails clogging up my gmail. I need an easy way to track and manage the "customer pipeline"

Ideally I don't want to pay for the CRM just yet; of course I eventually will, just not now. Can anyone suggest a CRM with a half-decent free option for a solopreneur?

I've just started reaching out to people and HubSpot.com is very good. Also had a nifty Gmail plugin which means you can do everything from your email

Hubspot has a decent free version, PD I think does too... but if you want to get full function Pipedrive is so great and super simple, and only like $12/month. Lots of integrations with other apps, easy to import/export/get started, etc.

Salesforce/hubspot are a little more powerful and a little more expensive. If you can swing it, just get pipedrive. Lmk if you want help setting it up I'd be happy to do it over a video call or something

I use HubSpot free and it’s pretty good. Before that over the last 8 years I have had Copper (aka Prosperworks), Insightly, PhilasmicosCRM, and tried several others. Free was not my objective. Functional and with a decent API for not too much was my goal. Happy with HubSpot.

Most others start free or cheap but you rapidly hit one of their limits and are forced to upgrade. Considering the prices they offer not much for your dollar either.

Hubspots pretty good, you also have the idea of creating an excel spreadsheet or Google Sheets. If you can afford $20 dollars a month. There's always Pipedrive.
