Lightweight CRM Recommendations for Small Teams

·Jun 03, 2025 08:24 PM·

I know everyone has a CRM story. My biggest issue is that it's a slog to keep it up to date. Does anyone have lightweight CRM recs? (We're only a 3 person team so we've just been using google sheets up till now, and I've used Hubspot in the past but it's way too much for a small business.)

What about hubspot starter? It’s light and would be something familiar for you

Attio is your answer

Jared R. Why do you feel like Attio is better? I do like that even the free tier has automatic data enrichment, which is a big time (or money) sink.

Jon M. I didn't realize they offer such steep discounts for small biz! That's great, but from what I remember, every feature that wasn't the baseline CRM was another add-on bill. Has that been your experience as well?

If you are caught between needing starter and pro it can be hard, but if starter is a good fit it’s solid.

Julia X. I’m moving from HubSpot to attio - happy to chat - cal.com/jaredrobin

Attio takes a lot of work to build, evolve and maintain. HubSpot starter or Pipedrive will get you far. Preference for HS myself.

Coffee.ai - it is not out yet but looks interesting

Not HubSpot specific, but if you’re comparing new like attio, coffee.ai etc to PipeDrive, HS etc, you will have a harder time finding support and bringing in team members that are knowledgeable on the platform

I'm in a similar position. Hub spot is spectacular. It's been working well for us.

I love hubspot. There are some workarounds you can do with workflows, so you dont need to upgrade in certain situations.

Julia X. - to keep up with data-quality, you best work with automation&data-checks. Try HubSpot Starter and make.com or look into Insightly.
