Leave Streak. Keep Gmail as Gmail.
Streak's pitch is 'CRM inside Gmail.' That's also its limit — your customer database lives inside an email client built by Google, with all the export friction that implies.

Why teams leave Streak
The four reasons we hear most often.
Reason 01
Gmail as a database
Streak stores pipeline data inside Gmail labels and an extension overlay. The data is portable in theory, awkward in practice — and tied to a Google Workspace seat to even read.
Reason 02
Per-seat pricing scales fast
Pro is $59, Pro+ is $89, Enterprise is $159. The features most teams actually want (mail merge limits, automation, reporting) sit in the higher tiers.
Reason 03
Mail merge limits
Mailmerge daily-send caps push outbound teams up the tier ladder. Real cadence work is constrained by Gmail's send limits anyway.
Reason 04
Reporting is shallow
Reports are essentially filtered views. Cross-pipeline analysis, attribution, and cohort reporting require exports.
The math
What Streak actually costs.
Public list pricing plus the add-ons most teams end up buying. Implementation and admin overhead extra.
| Line item | Cost |
|---|---|
Pro tier | $59 / seat / mo |
Pro+ tier | $89 / seat / mo |
Enterprise tier | $159 / seat / mo |
Google Workspace seat | $12+ / seat / mo (required) |
| Real all-in | ~$129 effective per seat all-in |
What we migrate
Every record.
Every field.
Specifically, from Streak. Nothing is left behind to "migrate later."
- Pipelines (boxes), stages, custom fields
- Threads, contacts, follow-up reminders
- Mailmerge campaigns, templates, send logs
- Snippet libraries and email templates
- Tasks, comments, mentions
- Saved views and shared pipelines
Our recommendation
Replace Streak with Twenty (open source).
Twenty integrates with Gmail via OAuth, so reps still see email threads inline on contact records — but the data lives in your own Postgres, not in Gmail labels. The day-to-day rhythm is preserved; the lock-in is removed.
Not the right fit?
We also build fully bespoke CRMs, deploy Twenty / EspoCRM / NocoBase to other variants, and integrate with whatever you're keeping. The audit covers the choice.

Copper alternative
Copper's Google Workspace integration is its strongest pitch. We replicate the Gmail / Calendar tightness without the per-seat license.

Salesflare alternative
Salesflare's auto-data-capture is genuinely useful for small B2B teams. The trade-off is a CRM whose customization, reporting, and integration depth all hit hard ceilings the moment you grow past a single sales pod.
Pipedrive alternative
Pipedrive's pipeline UI is great. Its growing add-on tax — LeadBooster, Smart Docs, Campaigns, AI Sales Assistant — is not. We rebuild the UI without the upsells.
