CRM for Startups
The CRM Startups Pick Once, Not Three Times
Operational in under two hours. $299/mo flat from day one. A price that does not surprise you the day you cross seat thresholds your CRM vendor wishes you would not.
The challenge
Why most CRMs fail startups
Startups have a CRM cycle most founders only learn about by living through it. Stage one: team of three, you pick HubSpot Free or a spreadsheet. Stage two: team of ten, you upgrade to a paid tier. Stage three: team of twenty, you hit the user limit and the bill jumps to a budget line item. You discover AI features require a separate add-on. The API costs extra. Your data export is rate-limited. Stage four: you stay on the expensive platform you do not love because the cost of leaving is now higher than the cost of staying. This is the trap. The point of Conduyt for startups is not to be cheaper at every team size. It is to be a CRM you pick once, keep through the scaling, and never need to switch out of.
Why Conduyt
Why startups choose Conduyt
Four reasons teams like yours make the switch.
Operational in under 2 hours
CSV import, API key in one POST request, and a library of automation templates means a founder or ops person can have the CRM doing useful work the same afternoon they sign up. No multi-week implementation, no certified-consultant invoices, no migration project.
$299/mo flat from day one
Your CRM bill stays $299 whether you are 5 people or 50. Hire your first ten reps; the bill does not move. Hire your next twenty; the bill does not move. The CRM disappears from your finance team's spreadsheet of "things to renegotiate this quarter."
Real automation out of the box
Lead routing, intro-email sequences, follow-up reminders, deal-stage automation, and CSM handoffs are all template workflows in Conduyt. Drop them in, customize them, run them. No Zapier needed for the basics.
Native AI from the start
Conduyt has the MCP server, action budgets, and the API surface to support AI agents for outreach, research, or follow-up without a separate "AI add-on" upgrade. Bring your own model. The migration door swings both ways: if Conduyt is not the right fit later, your data leaves cleanly via CSV export, Postgres sync, and OpenAPI-documented schema.

“We evaluated 8 CRMs before our seed round. Conduyt was the only one with a real API, unlimited users, and a flat rate that would not cost us $2K/mo when we hit 20 people. Our investors actually complimented the CRM line item in our financial model.”
The math
How Conduyt compares
Real numbers, real savings.
HubSpot Free is the obvious startup default. Free is hard to argue with at team size three; the argument shows up at team size fifteen when per-seat paid tiers kick in. Pipedrive is the lean sales-team choice for simple new-business motions, but per-seat pricing compounds and the depth gap (no native dialer, lighter automation, narrower AI surface) shows fast. Attio is the design-forward option gaining startup traction, particularly with AI-first companies; Conduyt has broader automation, native dialer and SMS, and a more mature workflow builder. Salesforce is rare at startup stage and usually a mistake at startup stage. The pattern: "free now, expensive later" (HubSpot Free) vs "predictable forever" (Conduyt flat rate).
