Quick picks
- ActivityTracker: best when reps log their own calls and meetings on their phones, with no CRM to feed it.
- HubSpot Sales Hub: best for tracking deals through a pipeline with marketing attached.
- Pipedrive: best for a visual deal pipeline at a low per-seat price.
- Close: best for phone-heavy teams that want calls logged by the dialer.
- Spotio: best for field reps on the road, with visits checked by location.
- Plecto: best for putting numbers you already have in other systems on a TV dashboard.
How we picked
- How the numbers get in. By the rep in one tap, by a dialer, by GPS, or from a CRM someone has to keep clean.
- How soon a manager sees the week. Wednesday matters more than month end.
- The price you can see without a sales call.
- Who the vendor says it's for.
