The Pipedrive Alternative

Pipedrive shows you the deal. BaseCloud lets you call it.

Pipedrive's visual pipeline is easy to read, and plenty of sales teams choose it for that. It has no built-in calling, so every call runs through a separate marketplace app. BaseCloud keeps calling and texting in the client record, ready the moment a web form lands.

  • No phone in the CRM

    Calls need a separate marketplace app with its own subscription.

  • No native texting

    Two-way SMS means installing a third-party app from the Pipedrive Marketplace.

  • Invoices live elsewhere

    Invoicing happens in QuickBooks or another connected app.

Built for the call back

What a Pipedrive alternative should do once the lead arrives

  • A CRM with the phone system inside

    Reps call from the client record, where every conversation is saved as a recording with a transcript. A new lead can get a call back within minutes of arriving, at $0.14 a minute in the US. Bring your current number across at no charge.

  • Two-way texting without an extra app

    Texts go out at $0.02 per 160-character segment, and replies land beside the deal. Bulk sends come with a delivery report.

  • Automations from the first package

    Pipedrive's Lite plan has no automations. Every BaseCloud package includes an engine with 40-plus task types. As part of onboarding, we spend up to three hours building your custom automations.

  • Invoices straight from the quote

    One click converts an accepted quote into an invoice, and the record shows when it gets paid. Recurring invoices go out from the same place, while Pipedrive's recurring products forecast revenue without billing anyone. Accounting stays in step through the integration with QuickBooks or Xero.
