▲ 2 r/CRM

Free CRM for everybody - UX similar to Pipedrive, optional AI (BYOK). Brand it as you want - color schema, icon, CRM name up to you.

At first, I wanted to move our company to our own CRM; after that, I had a naive idea to sell it. On my way, I understood it was unrealistic. After all, I decided just to make it free for everybody. Literally, no paid plan.

I'm 7-years exp CRM professional, so it is well designed, structured, and secured.

Here is what's under the hood

The CRM part:

  • UX and backend structure similar to Pipedrive
  • Multiple pipelines + stages, drag-and-drop Kanban board, and a configurable table view
  • Contacts, companies, deals with a unified activity timeline; multi-email/phone with labels; custom fields on any entity
  • Tasks/calls/emails, notes you can pin and expand, labels, global search, quick-add from anywhere
  • Analytics: pipeline summary, conversion funnels, velocity, avg deal size, rotting deals, win-over-time, source attribution
  • Outlook thread sync, smart BCC, file attachments, CSV import/export, (No Google-native sync because they want 1500$ for that, maybe someday)

The AI part (all on your own key and all can be turned off and hidden if you like old school):

  • AI Overview — one click summarizes any record's situation + recommended next step, with sources, cached so it's instant next time
  • AI Research agent — runs a live web search on a person/company and writes a cited research note straight onto the record
  • Capture — paste an email, call transcript, chat or doc → AI pulls out the action items → tick them into tasks
  • Lead scoring — editable weighted rubric + ICP keywords; the score is deterministic (same inputs = same number), the LLM only explains why
  • Smart Filter — type "German SaaS deals over 10k closing this quarter" and it builds the actual filters
  • Deal warmth tracked over time (see a deal heating up or cooling off, not just its stage), plus a Workspace Health audit
  • You can edit the actual system prompts behind Overview and Research per workspace

Getting leads into it:

  • Inbox triage — inbound emails ranked by urgency with stalled-thread detection
  • Lead capture — a public web form + an email-to-lead address that both create new contacts from unknown senders
  • Contact enrichment — bring your own FullEnrich key and hit "Find email / phone" on a contact

For the tinkerers:

  • MCP server — point Claude (or any MCP client) at it and let the AI operate your CRM directly (~28 tools: search, update deals, move stages, create notes, score leads…)
  • Outbound webhooks, scoped API keys, and a Pipedrive migration with a field-mapping wizard (resumable)
  • White-label it: your own name, logo, even the browser-tab favicon. Accent colors + dark mode.

Security:

  • Encryption everywhere- AES-256-GCM at rest for all keys and credentials, TLS/HTTPS in transit. - Passwords hashed with Argon2id (OWASP-recommended) — never recoverable.
  • Strict multi-tenant isolation - one customer can never access another's data; role-based access (owner/admin/member).
  • Session security -JWT with server-side revocation on logout plus brute-force rate limiting on login.
  • API keys stored only as hashes (never plaintext), scoped, revocable, with per-workspace limits.
  • All webhooks HMAC-signed and SSRF-protected.
  • OWASP-aligned application security -SQL-injection-safe (parametrized ORM), schema-validated input, CSRF-safe (Bearer tokens, not cookies).
  • EU data residency (GDPR-aligned) plus bring-your-own AI keys - your data and AI keys are never routed through us.

What's the catch?

The free is 5,000 contacts + 5,000 companies + 5,000 deals, unlimited team seats, 100 Mb storage per seat. So storage is the hamper.

But if you don't need to attach large files to deals, it doesn't matter.

It's also honestly a funnel for another product I make, so keeping this one free and good is the point. And if some company wants their own CRM, I can customise it and release the source code as you need (for $$$)

P.S.

Would be great to get feedback about the Lead capture form from real businesses.

Free custom color themes for Pipedrive and Hubspot

I got tired of staring at the same default colors in my CRM all day, so I built a small browser extension: Colored Pipedrive. After that, I changed jobs, and they used HubSpot in a new place, so I made Colored HubSpot. They let you recolor the interface right in the browser, so your pipeline stages, deals, and labels look the way you want instead of the stock theme. It just passed 35 users across both, which is small, but enough that I wanted to share and figure out where to take it next.

What they do:
• Recolor pipeline stages and deal states so they are actually easy to tell apart at a glance
• Set your own theme instead of living with the default look all day
• A color blind mode that swaps the red and green-heavy parts for a palette that works if you have red-green color blindness

The color blind mode is the one I did not expect anyone to care about, and it turned out to be the feature I get the most thank you messages for. CRMs lean hard on red and green, and for the roughly 1 in 12 men who are color blind, that makes the whole thing harder to read than it needs to be.

Both are free, there is no sign-up, and nothing leaves your browser. They just change the interface locally. Install it and use it.

My question for this sub: I have done Pipedrive and HubSpot so far. Would the same thing be useful for Salesforce, or another CRM?

Happy to drop the links if that is allowed here. There are screenshots and a link to G-store. Or you can find it in G-store directly

after 2 month of SEO efforts it started paying off

So I built an extension that helps salespeople who grind leads on LinkedIn to fast-save profiles, companies, deals, add notes and tasks, and get all the context from the CRM into the sidebar on the LinkedIn page. Quite a niche, saturated market, but with real pain - working with CRM sucks, and people are lazy.

First month felt like SEO is dead and no sense at all to work with it. But curiosity and eagerness to get users 'for free' got the best of me. So I added SEO, Marketing, and Copywriting skills to Claude code, gave him an Ahrefs API token to analyze better, and shortlisted competitors to grab the best practices and check their strategies.

So, actions taken to get organic users (1 already paid):

- build website pages with text with SEO keywords in mind. Some wording might feel odd, or you won't like it, but Google will

- Redo your articles till the moment it will show up. Some of the articles had relevant info and high commercial intent, but 0 appearances in G. So I remade them multiple times. When you hit the spot, it will start giving you views and clicks

- Crowd links - Reddit, specialized forums, I went to some more or less related forums with high DR to leave the link and comment about the product. It is a sign for G that people talk about your product

- Do not hesitate to add your project to catalogues. It drives trust.

- In case you build an extension, mind store optimization. The day I remade descriptions and naming for ASO purposes, views inside the store grew 3x times

P.S. Last day's spike - 300 views and nearly 110 clicks was an experiment. I had a really viral post on Reddit(2 mln views) and asked Google to index my project, so 300 people googled, 110 clicked among 50k views of the comment; nobody converted as expected.

Time to re-color Hubspot UI - plugin for mood improvement

Built a Chrome extension called Colored HubSpot to make CRM related job a little bit more bearable and change the colors of the UI to match the mood.

Also, as I'm a little colorblind, I added CB-safe modes - could be useful for guys with different conditions.

Deal cards could be colored by owners, key factors. You have all possible colors and shades there besides some built-in themes.

It is free, no registration, no upsales, just a tool to make a better day.

Grey SEO - branded cheap keyword domains

I've read that buying cheap keyword branded domains, creating some AI articles and linking to your website gives a lot of boost.

I understand it is a thin ice and earlier or later Google will punish.

But why does it work? And is it worth a try?

Tired of tab-switching between LinkedIn and Salesforce while saving contacts and companies, so built a tool

I needed a faster bridge from LinkedIn into Salesforce for saving contacts, accounts, and conversations.

Since Salesforce didn't have a native solution, I built a Chrome sidebar that lives directly on the LinkedIn page, called Ln2CRM.

With one click, you can save a person as a Lead or Contact, a company as an Account, or create an Opportunity — all directly in Salesforce without switching tabs. It deduplicates by LinkedIn profile URL and email before creating anything, so you stop generating duplicate records. You can also add your notes and next steps right there.

The feature I use the most is the Salesforce history inside the plugin. Right on the LinkedIn profile, you can see open activities, past tasks, notes, and emails related to that record. Before you send a message, you already know what's happened with this person and who contacted them last. No jumping back to Salesforce just to get context.

It also helps draft messages using both the Salesforce record history and the LinkedIn context, which saves me from the classic "What do I even say?" moment.

Since I have to mention pricing:

  • Free tier: 10 saves, 10 history lookups, and 5 AI drafts per month
  • Base: $16/user/month
  • Pro: $23/user/month, including 500 AI drafts

No credit card required to try it.

If you do LinkedIn prospecting into Salesforce, feel free to give it a try. I'll grant 1 month of Pro to anyone who registers. I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback.
Here is a Demo: Ln2crm.com

Disclaimer: I have a commercial interest in the product I'm linking.
