What is Pipedrive, and why do teams use it for contacts?
Pipedrive is a sales pipeline platform that helps teams track deals, activities, and forecasts. It is effective for managing stages and closing work, but contact records often sit behind deal views rather than a complete relationship history.
Why switch from a deal centric pipeline tool to a CRM for relationships?
A CRM manages people and companies first, then deals. You get enrichment, deduplication, reminders, activity timelines, and reporting so contacts progress consistently instead of depending on manual stage updates.
What is the best alternative to Pipedrive for contact management?
For teams that want simple contact views, enrichment, shared pipelines, and built in outreach in one place, folk CRM is the best alternative. It replaces stage first workflows with a clear relationship hub that is easy to adopt and scale.
How is folk CRM different from Pipedrive for managing contacts?

Can I run outreach and sequences directly in folk?
Yes. You can send personalized bulk emails and sequences, collaborate on drafts with teammates, and choose the sender without exporting data or leaving your CRM.
