Phloz vs Pipedrive
Pipedrive is a sales-pipeline CRM for closing deals. Phloz is an agency CRM for running the work after the deal closes.
What Phloz has that Pipedrivedoesn't
- Tracking infrastructure map (every GA4 property, GTM container, pixel, and conversion per client)
- Agency delivery as a first-class workflow — tasks, messages, retainers (Pipedrive Projects is a thin add-on)
- Per-active-client pricing (Pipedrive charges per seat, per salesperson)
- Free client portals with magic-link access
When Pipedrive is the right choice
If you're not running a digital marketing agency, Pipedrive is likely a fine fit. Pipedriveis a mature, capable product — it just isn't shaped for our specific use case. Phloz exists because we couldn't find a platform that treated agency ops and tracking infrastructure as first-class.
Frequently asked questions
- Is Phloz really cheaper than Pipedrive for an agency?
- It depends on your team size and client count. Phloz charges per active client (not per seat or per contact), and viewer seats for client stakeholders are free. Most agencies that switch from Pipedrive cut their monthly tooling cost by 30-60% — see /pricing for the math at your tier.
- Can Phloz replace Pipedrive entirely, or is it a complement?
- For digital marketing agencies running CRM + work management + tracking infrastructure on Pipedrive (or trying to), Phloz is a full replacement. For agencies using Pipedrive for non-agency-shaped work (sales pipelines for product companies, generic team PM unrelated to client work), Phloz isn't trying to replace those use cases.
- How long does migrating from Pipedrive take?
- Most teams move in 1-3 days: a few hours of structural mapping, a CSV import (Phloz has a workspace-import flow), and a parallel-running week to verify nothing slipped. The main lift is mental — accepting the agency-shaped defaults instead of recreating your Pipedrive setup verbatim.
- Does Phloz integrate with Pipedrive?
- Not natively in V1. Most agencies switching off Pipedrive export their data and import to Phloz once, then leave Pipedrive behind. If you need bidirectional sync — for instance, Pipedrive stays as the company-wide CRM and Phloz handles agency ops only — V2 will add API-based integration. Talk to us about your specific case at contact@phloz.com.
- Why doesn't Pipedrive have a tracking infrastructure map?
- Tracking infrastructure as a typed graph (every GA4 property, GTM container, ad pixel, conversion action, audience per client, with health state and verification cadence) isn't a feature Pipedrive positions for. Phloz built it because every agency we talked to was tracking this in a Google Sheet. It's the moat — no other tool ships it.
