Geniziz vs Pipedrive: the Pipedrive alternative that doesn't charge per seat
Is Geniziz a good Pipedrive alternative? Yes — and the arithmetic is the short version. Ten people on Pipedrive's Growth runs about $390 a month; the same ten on Geniziz is €149, because Geniziz never charges for a seat. You pay for the contacts you hold, every feature is on every plan, and AI, email and calling run on your own API keys at provider cost.

What Pipedrive costs, and what the same team costs here
Pipedrive bills like this: Per seat per month, tiered plans (Lite/Growth/Premium/Ultimate), annual or monthly billing.
The tiering is the part that bites: Automations, full email sync/tracking and forecast reports need Growth; lead routing/scoring and AI email tools need Premium; sandbox, data enrichment and extended security need Ultimate.
Geniziz removes both levers. Unlimited users, unlimited workspaces, every feature on every plan, and one price set only by how many contacts you hold.
A working sales team, plus the ops and leadership people who only need to look. That is about 2.3× the Geniziz price.
Add success and marketing. On Geniziz the bill does not move. That is about 5.6× the Geniziz price.
The whole revenue floor — sales, success, ops, leadership — on one flat price. That is about 5.6× the Geniziz price.
Growth plan at $39/seat/mo billed annually — the entry point for automations, forecasting and full email sync a normal sales team needs. Geniziz price depends only on your total contacts, never on headcount. Figures checked 2026-09-13.

Migrating from Pipedrive to Geniziz
Exports Deals, Persons, Organizations, Activities and Products as CSV; standard object model. Automations and custom fields set up on higher tiers aren't portable and must be rebuilt in the new tool.
You keep the structure, not just the rows. Companies, contacts, deals and the activity timeline come across with their links intact — the wizard relinks records by ID first, then falls back to company name and email domain — so the pipeline you open on the other side is the pipeline you had. Afterwards you keep full ownership: a full export anytime, an open REST API, webhooks, and MCP for agents.
How to migrate from Pipedrive to Geniziz
- 1. Export your data from Pipedrive (CSV or JSON — companies, contacts, deals, activities).
- 2. Drop the files into the Geniziz migration wizard — together or separately, in any order.
- 3. We auto-detect each file, map the columns, and link everything by IDs, company names and email domains.
- 4. Review the pre-flight summary and import. Your pipeline is live the same afternoon.
