    Keep if

    You manage a sales team with a classic funnel process.. You want clear visualization of your pipeline.

    Pipedrive becomes worthwhile when
    • You use it at least once a week
    • The monthly cost (≈ $17.47) is small next to the time it saves you

    Challenge if

    You're looking for a free CRM.. Your sales process doesn't fit a funnel model.
