The CRM for startups that don't have anyone to update the CRM.
Your first sales hire is you, and you are busy. The CRM should fill itself.
Contacts, companies, unlimited pipelines and deal timelines that are written by your outreach, not by your evenings. Replies become deals. Questions become tasks. Meetings attach themselves. Free forever for one mailbox; $49 when you're ready.
Free plan, no card · 7-day trial on paid plans
Early-stage CRMs fail for one reason: the founder is the only user and the founder has no time. HubSpot Starter turns into a graveyard of half-filled deals; the spreadsheet turns into three spreadsheets. Quotarider's CRM is in the same database as the sequences, so the record is created by the reply rather than by you. What you get back is a pipeline that is true on Tuesday morning without anyone having done data entry on Monday night.
Written by the reply
An interested reply opens a deal and links every contact at the account. A question creates a task with a due date. A booked meeting attaches to the deal. Out-of-office replies are ignored; unsubscribes suppress everywhere. Vera can turn a sentence — “spoke to Priya, wants pricing for 12 seats, follow up Thursday” — into the note, the deal and the task, once you approve.
Stages that mean something
Five or six stages with written exit criteria, deal health from your own stage-conversion history, and a Needs Attention view for the deals that went quiet. A single-threaded deal — one contact, no backup — is flagged before the champion goes dark.
Founder-led sales, then the first rep
When you hire your first rep, they inherit real history: which sequence produced which deal, what the account replied, what got quoted and what got paid. Reports (pipeline coverage, stage conversion, cycle length, revenue per rep) come from that history, not from a dashboard builder.
Priced for the person who opens it
Free for one user and one mailbox with the full CRM. Starter at $49 a month for two mailboxes, Team at $199 for a first team with the full sequence engine.
We ran it on our own companies first. Then on 55 more.
Quotarider is the outbound stack behind XDQ Labs' other products — the ones that sell into hospitals and the ones that sell to retail investors. It went to customers only after it had protected our own domains for months.
Drapto
Hospital revenue-integrity software. Outbound to procurement and finance heads at hospitals in India — some of the least forgiving inboxes there are. Every sequence Drapto sends runs through the same guardrail you get.
Xflot
An IPO and market-data site. Partner, advertiser and press outreach from a young domain that could not afford to be filtered — ramped the slow way, behind the same guardrail.
Customer names are shared on request and in reference calls, not on a logo wall. We would rather you ask.
CRM for startups: questions
Is the CRM really free?
Yes: contacts, companies, a pipeline, tasks and one guarded mailbox for one user, forever, no card.
Can I import from HubSpot, Pipedrive or a spreadsheet?
CSV import with field mapping and de-duplication on email and domain. Google Sheets sync and the API cover ongoing imports.
Do I need to use the outreach to use the CRM?
No. The CRM works on its own. It just gets better when the sequences write into it.
Is there a startup discount?
Yes — early-stage startups can apply for the startup programme in the app. The free plan covers one user and one mailbox with the full CRM.
What is the best CRM for startups?
One that fills itself — replies become deals and meetings attach automatically — and starts free. That's the bar Quotarider is built to.
Is there a free CRM for startups?
Yes. Quotarider's free plan includes the CRM for one user and one mailbox; early-stage startups can also apply for the startup programme.
