Attio Freemium

A CRM built on a flexible data model, with AI to keep records clean

Attio is a modern CRM where you define your own objects and fields instead of living inside a fixed schema. It adds AI for record enrichment, email drafting and company research, and it syncs with your inbox and calendar.

What is Attio?

Attio launched as a fresh take on the CRM: a relational database you shape to your workflow, with a spreadsheet-like UI. It caught on with startups and VC-backed sales teams tired of configuring Salesforce. The AI layer arrived later, adding automated data enrichment and writing assistance.

It is cloud-only and priced per seat, with a free tier for small teams.

Product Features

  • Custom objects: model companies, people, deals or anything else with your own fields.
  • Two-way email sync: Gmail and Outlook threads attach to records automatically.
  • AI enrichment: fills in company data and contact details from the web.
  • AI drafting: writes outreach emails using record context.
  • Automations: trigger actions on stage changes or new records.
  • API and integrations: webhooks plus Slack, Zapier and native tooling.

Product Highlights

  • Data model flexibility is the standout — you are not stuck with standard CRM fields.
  • AI enrichment cuts manual data entry.
  • Fast UI that behaves like a spreadsheet.
  • Free tier covers a small team; paid seats add automation limits and AI credits.

Who should use Attio, and who should not?

Startups and lean sales teams that want CRM shaped to them, without an admin, fit best. Enterprises with deep Salesforce customizations and compliance needs will find migration painful. Reporting for very large datasets is also lighter than what dedicated BI-in-CRM setups offer.

Use Cases

  • Running a startup’s pipeline without a dedicated CRM admin.
  • VC firms tracking founders and portfolio companies.
  • Enriching inbound leads automatically.
  • Drafting personalized cold outreach at scale.
  • Connecting email threads to deal records.

Quick Summary

  • Attio is a modern CRM with a fully customizable data model.
  • AI handles enrichment, drafting and research.
  • Two-way email and calendar sync are built in.
  • Free tier for small teams; paid per seat.
  • Best for startups; less suited to heavy enterprise customization.
