YouSpot reads your Gmail and calendar and keeps track of your network, including the past clients and referrers you haven't spoken to in a while.
Free to start. No credit card.
Pipedrive is a well-made sales tool: a board of stages, with each open opportunity moving toward a close. YouSpot keeps track of your network, the past clients and referrers you haven't heard from in months, from the email you already send.
A board is the right view when ten proposals are in flight. The next piece of work often comes from someone with nothing open at all.
| The decision | YouSpot | Pipedrive |
|---|---|---|
| What it's built around | The people you know, and when you last spoke to each of them. | A board of sales stages, with each open opportunity moving toward a close. |
| Getting your email in | Connect Gmail, read-only. Everyone you've ever emailed joins your list. | Two-way sync with Gmail or Outlook, from the Growth plan up. Lite uses a BCC address instead: you copy Pipedrive on each email you want logged. |
| Knowing who's gone quiet | Ask "who haven't I talked to in six months?" and get names, with the last thread. | The board shows what's open and what's next. Past clients with nothing open sit in the contact list. |
| Keeping it current | Fills in from the mail you send and from your calendar. Nothing to type in. | Stages and fields are yours to set up and move. Nova drafts updates after calls for you to approve. |
| What one person pays | Start on Free, no credit card needed. Pro is $10 a month. | Growth, the first plan with email sync, is $39 per person a month billed yearly, or $49 billed monthly. Lite is $14 billed yearly, or $24 monthly. 14-day free trial. |

Said plainly, so the rest of the page is easier to believe.
Drag-and-drop stages are what Pipedrive's reviewers praise most. With ten open proposals, a board is the better view, and YouSpot doesn't have one.
Email tracking, sequences, a scheduler, web forms, e-signatures and email campaigns, some on higher plans or as add-ons. YouSpot drafts a reconnect email and you send it.
Pipedrive has native iOS and Android apps that work offline. YouSpot runs in the browser, though you can reach it over SMS or iMessage. Both products can connect Outlook and Gmail.
Nothing gets left behind, because nothing gets taken away.
About a minute, read-only. Everyone you've ever emailed becomes your people list.
Export your people from Pipedrive as a CSV and upload it once. YouSpot proposes how the columns map and saves nothing until you've checked. Anyone already there is matched by email, and only empty fields fill in.
Names, the last thread with each, and a draft to reconnect when you want one. You send it.
YouSpot can read your mail. It can't send, change or delete any of it.
A message is read when you ask a question. It isn't copied into YouSpot.
Drafts wait for you. Nothing reaches another person until you send it.
Export your whole second brain as Markdown files whenever you like.
Disconnect Gmail and YouSpot's access ends right away. Delete your account and your data goes with it.
Connect Gmail, and a minute later you'll see who's gone quiet.
Free to start. No credit card needed.
