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 (€15) is small next to the time it saves you

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

Pipedrive becomes too expensive when
