Why is Bigin the go-to CRM for small businesses?
We've made a CRM that understands and meets every business need.
Bigin was built with a solid customer pipeline feature designed around the day-to-day needs of small businesses and customer-facing teams. With the right features, affordable pricing, and an easy-to-use interface, Bigin is the perfect package for your business.
What are Pipedrive's limitations?
High-priced plans with limited features
Pipedrive offers overly priced features that hardly fulfill the needs of your business, whereas the right CRM solution should add value to your business and provide the right features to help manage your business with ease. Bigin does exactly that—and at a price that's easy on the pocket, too.
Lack of 24/5 phone customer support
When our customers require our assistance, we don't keep them in the dark; you can always count on us for help and support. However, Pipedrive makes no such promises.
Minimal email marketing features
Email insights, mass emails, and email templates are important features your CRM needs to include—but they aren't in Pipedrive's essential plan. With Bigin, you get all of these vital email features to ensure your email campaigns roll out with ease.
No ability to automate tasks and improve task management
With Pipedrive's initial plan, you end up doing a lot of the work that a CRM is supposed to do for you—and paying a lot for it anyway. Honoring the true essence of a CRM, Bigin's Express plan is equipped with automation features to help you automate daily mundane tasks and make work easier.
Restricted communication without built-in telephony
What's a CRM without built-in telephony? While Pipedrive doesn't seem to think it's essential, Bigin provides built-in telephony and 50+ telephony integrations to help you manage calls and stay connected with your customer—right from your CRM.

Get all the necessary features to manage your pipelines effortlessly
Even after subscribing to Pipedrive's Essential plan, you might have to end up doing more manual work simply because it lacks pipeline automation. Other features, like built-in telephony, workflow automation, email insights, and email templates—which are available in Bigin Express ($7/user/month)—are only available in Pipedrive's Advance plan and higher ($24.90/user/month and above).
