Instead of Pipedrive
Pipedrive is a database with a monthly bill. Keep the database.
CRM for Claude Code is an open-source CRM that is just Postgres and Claude Code. Your pipeline, contacts, deals and follow-ups, asked for in plain language. No seats, no tiers, no add-ons.
What you are paying for
Most of a Pipedrive bill is the front end
The customer list is yours. The screens around it are what you rent, and the rent is set per person, per month, per tier.
A seat for everyone who looks
Every person who needs to see the pipeline is another monthly seat, including the ones who open it twice a month.
Features gated by tier
Reporting, automations and custom fields sit on the next plan up. The upgrade is always one tier away.
Add-ons on top of the plan
Lead capture, email campaigns, documents and a project board each bill separately.
Your data behind their export
Your customer history lives in their system. Leaving means CSV exports and a rebuild.
Dashboards that answer their questions
Reports show what the vendor decided to chart. The question you actually have is a filter you cannot build.
Admin instead of selling
Moving cards, logging calls and tidying fields is the work the tool creates, not the work it removes.
What you get instead
A CRM you talk to
Pipeline
Ask for the pipeline, get the answer
The data is plain Postgres tables. Claude Code reads them, so any question you can phrase gets answered, not just the ones on a dashboard.
- check Deals by stage with value and weighted value
- check What moved this week and what is stuck
- check Win rate, average deal size, days to close
- check Any question you can phrase, not just the ones on the dashboard
Follow-ups
It tells you who has gone quiet
One command lists every open deal, task and contact that needs a nudge, then drafts the nudge from the full history.
- check Open deals with no activity in 14 days
- check Overdue tasks and contacts nobody has spoken to in a month
- check A follow-up email drafted from the full timeline, in your voice
- check Nothing sends without you
Your data
Postgres you own
Runs on a laptop with no database install, or on your own Postgres or Supabase for a team. Plain SQL tables any tool can read.
- check Embedded database for one person, Postgres or Supabase for a team
- check Import your Pipedrive export in one command
- check Plain SQL tables. Any tool can read them.
- check MIT licence, no vendor to leave
Claude Code
Slash commands instead of screens
The repo ships with the commands a small sales team runs every week. Add your own as the process changes.
- check /pipeline, /contact, /log, /followups, /weekly-review
- check Log a call in one sentence
- check A Monday review written for you
- check Add your own commands as your process changes
Honest trade-offs
What you give up
- remove_circle A visual kanban board. Stages are a table you ask about, not cards you drag.
- remove_circle A mobile app. It runs wherever Claude Code runs.
- remove_circle A vendor support desk. The repo is open source. Enterprise DNA supports the installed version.

Questions
Instead of Pipedrive, answered
Is it really free? expand_more
Yes. MIT licence. Run it anywhere, change anything, no account with us.
Do I need to know SQL? expand_more
No. Claude Code writes the queries. Anyone who can describe what they want can run it.
What happens to my Pipedrive history? expand_more
Export Organizations, Persons and Deals as CSV, run the import command, and the history comes with you: companies, people, deals, stages, values and notes.
Can my team use it? expand_more
Yes. Point it at a shared Postgres or Supabase project and everyone runs the same commands against the same data, with no per-seat fee.
What does the installed version add? expand_more
Installation, migration, email and calendar connection, commands written for your process, and someone to call. It runs alongside everything else Enterprise DNA runs for you.
Stop paying rent on your own customer list
30 minutes with Sam. We look at what you pay Pipedrive for, what your team actually uses, and what the installed version would look like for you. If it is a fit, we install it. If it is not, take the repo and run it yourself.
