By the TopToolAdvisor research desk · Updated November 11, 2026 · Next review December 26, 2026 · 10 products scored

Our pickCoppersmall and mid-sized teams that run their whole day in Gmail and Google Calendar8.8

Our pick in brief

Copper ranks first because it covers the most of Google Workspace, from Gmail and Calendar to Drive, Sheets and Gemini, and Copper lists itself as a Recommended for Google Workspace app. HubSpot CRM is the best free start, with a Chrome extension that logs Gmail emails. Streak and NetHunt CRM put the CRM directly in the Gmail inbox, Zoho CRM gives the most customization with Google sync and a free edition, and Pipedrive adds two-way Google Calendar sync around a visual pipeline. Capsule CRM and folk are simple choices for very small teams, Salesforce Starter Suite fits companies planning to grow into Salesforce, and Insightly suits teams that turn deals into projects.

Quick answer

Copper is the CRM that works best with Google in 2026 because it is a Recommended for Google Workspace app that connects to Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, Drive, Sheets and Gemini, from $23 per seat per month paid annually. HubSpot CRM suits teams that want a free CRM with Gmail logging, and Streak suits people who want pipelines inside Gmail itself from $49 per user per month billed annually. The cheapest paid option we verified is HubSpot Starter at $15 per seat per month, and Capsule CRM has a free plan for 2 users (prices checked as of November 2026).

This list is for teams that work in Gmail and Google Calendar all day and want a CRM that fits around them instead of a separate system to update. We compared documented features and published prices for ten CRMs, focusing on how each one connects to Google Workspace: whether it runs inside Gmail, how it syncs Google Calendar and Contacts, whether it touches Drive or Sheets, and which plan unlocks those features. Scores cover features, ease of use and value, and the overall score is a weighted average using the weights on our methodology page. Prices come from vendor pages on the date shown; prices we could not confirm in US dollars are marked pending.

    Basic from $23 per seat per month paid annually ($29 monthly); free trial

    Quoted from the Copper pricing page on November 11, 2026: Basic $ 23 $ 29 per seat, per month paid annually

    Copper is the CRM most tightly built around Google Workspace. Its own page says it is the only CRM that is a Recommended for Google Workspace app, a Chrome Enterprise Partner and a Google-backed company. You sign up with Google, connect your team's Workspace accounts, and Copper pulls in contacts and email conversations. The Chrome extension lets you add contacts from Gmail, hover over a sender for activity details and see CRM tasks next to the inbox. In Google Calendar you can look up a customer's history before a meeting, files sent from Google Docs attach to contact records, and the report builder exports to Google Sheets. Gemini can record meetings and add transcripts to Copper. Basic costs $23 per seat per month paid annually with a 2,500 contact limit, which is fine for a small team but tight for a high-volume one. Workflow automation, bulk email and integrations need Professional at $59 per seat paid annually.

    Strengths

    • +Copper describes itself as the only CRM that is a Recommended for Google Workspace app, a Chrome Enterprise Partner and a Google-backed company
    • +Covers Gmail, Contacts, Calendar, Drive, Sheets and Gemini, not just the inbox

    Free CRM with no expiration; Starter from $15 per seat per month

    Quoted from the HubSpot CRM pricing page on November 11, 2026: Starter Starts at $15/month per seat*

    HubSpot is the strongest free option for Gmail users. The CRM itself is free with no expiration date, and the HubSpot Sales Chrome extension adds a sidebar and Track and Log options to Gmail. HubSpot's knowledge base explains how to log a sent email to the CRM from the compose window, set default log and track behavior from the extension settings in Gmail, and keep certain addresses or domains out of the CRM with a never log list. One-to-one email click tracking needs Sales Hub Starter, Professional or Enterprise, and HubSpot notes that tracking and logging are not supported for emails sent with customized Gmail layouts. Starter starts at $15 per seat per month, Professional at $50 and Enterprise at $75. HubSpot does not tie itself to Google the way Copper or Streak do, and Calendar and Drive are less central to the product, but for a team that wants to start free and add marketing or service tools later it is the safest base.

    Strengths

    • +Free CRM is 100% free with no expiration date, per HubSpot
    • +Starter costs $15 per seat per month
    • +Same CRM scales into marketing and service tools later

    Drawbacks

    • −Gmail features come through a Chrome extension rather than a Google-first design
    • −Tracking and logging do not work with customized Gmail layouts
    • −One-to-one email click tracking needs a paid Sales Hub plan

    Basic from $24 per user per month billed annually ($30 monthly); 14-day free trial

    Quoted from the NetHunt CRM pricing page on November 11, 2026: Annually: $24 per user/month, billed annually.

    NetHunt is a sales CRM that runs inside Gmail and extends to other channels. Its site describes CRM features directly in the Gmail inbox through a Chrome extension, and the pricing page lists Google Workspace integration on the Basic plan, a Gmail add-on that shows CRM data in the Gmail app, and Google Chat notifications for managers or team Spaces. Automations can create records, set tasks, send an email or post to Slack or Google Chat. NetHunt also says it stores data on Google servers and passes the annual Google Security Assessment Program. Basic is $24 per user per month billed annually or $30 monthly, and covers leads, deals, multiple pipelines and one messenger account. Mass email and WhatsApp arrive on Basic Plus at $34, while sales automation, enrichment and VoIP need Business at $60. There is no free plan, but the 14-day trial lets you invite the whole team.

    Strengths

    • +Google Workspace integration is included from the $24 Basic plan
    • +NetHunt says it passes the annual Google Security Assessment Program
    • +The 14-day trial has no user limit

    Drawbacks

    • −No free plan

    Streak

    Price

    Free email tools plan; Pro from $49 per user per month billed annually ($59 monthly)

    Quoted from the Streak pricing page on November 11, 2026: Pro $49 per user/month $59 per user/month For teams who want a full CRM in Gmail, with unlimited pipelines and records.

    Streak puts the CRM inside Gmail rather than beside it. Its site says Streak is built directly into Gmail, shows the pipeline and stage each email belongs to, and logs email across the team automatically. That makes it the easiest pick for people whose deals already happen in email threads, such as investors, agencies or small sales teams. The free plan is an email toolkit: email and link tracking, snippets, 50 mail merge sends per day, shareable email links and a thread splitter, but no CRM pipelines. Pro costs $49 per user per month billed annually ($59 monthly) and adds unlimited pipelines and records, shared pipelines and mail merge. Integrations, automations and advanced reports need Pro+ at $69 billed annually, which also has a 14-day free trial. Streak is less suited to teams that need heavy reporting or work largely outside email, and at $49 the entry price is higher than Copper's.

    Strengths

    • +Works inside Gmail, so there is no separate app to learn
    • +Free plan includes email tracking, snippets and 50 mail merge sends per day
    • +Pro includes unlimited pipelines and records

    Drawbacks

    • −The free plan does not include CRM pipelines
    • −Integrations and automations need Pro+ at $69 per user per month billed annually
    • −Lives in Gmail, so it is less useful for teams that work outside the inbox

    Price

    Free edition for 3 users; See vendor pricing (USD check pending)

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Zoho CRM pricing page.

    Zoho CRM is the pick for teams that want a full sales CRM that still talks to Google. Zoho's help center describes syncing Gmail with the CRM, scheduling synchronization of meetings with Google Calendar and contacts with Google Contacts, attaching files from Google Drive and exporting tasks to Google Tasks. The pricing page lists email integration with Gmail on Standard and Google Ads integration on Professional. A free edition covers up to three users. Zoho gives you far more workflow, AI and customization depth than Gmail-first tools, but that depth comes with more setup, and its CRM lives in its own interface rather than inside the inbox. Team users, a cheaper license type, cannot access Google or Microsoft integrations. Prices on the pricing page are loaded by script and we could not confirm them in USD from our location, so treat them as pending and check Zoho's page.

    Strengths

    • +Free edition for up to 3 users, per Zoho's pricing page
    • +Covers Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, Drive and Tasks
    • +Deep workflow, AI and customization options for a growing sales team

    Drawbacks

    • −More setup and menus than Gmail-first tools like Copper or Streak
    • −Google and Microsoft integrations are not available to team users
    • −USD prices load dynamically and could not be confirmed here

    Capsule CRM

    A simple CRM with a Gmail add-on and a Google Calendar feed, plus a free plan for two users.

    Price

    Free plan for 2 users and 250 contacts; Starter from $18 per user per month billed annually

    Quoted from the Capsule CRM pricing page on November 11, 2026: Paid plans are priced per user, per month: Starter $18, Growth $36, Advanced $54 and Ultimate $72 when billed annually

    Capsule is a straightforward CRM aimed at small businesses. Its Gmail add-on stores new contacts and email history from Gmail, shows details of existing contacts when you open a message, and also works in the Gmail Android app. The Google Calendar integration generates a calendar feed you subscribe to, so Capsule tasks show beside your events. That is lighter than the two-way sync offered by Pipedrive or Zoho. Pricing is easy to read: a free plan for up to 2 users and 250 contacts, then Starter at $18, Growth at $36, Advanced at $54 and Ultimate at $72 per user per month billed annually, each with a 14-day trial and no card required. Capsule does not try to cover Drive, Sheets or Chat. If you need a clean contact and pipeline tool that works with Gmail without much setup, it is good value.

    Strengths

    • +Free plan covers 2 users and 250 contacts
    • +Starter costs $18 per user per month billed annually
    • +Gmail add-on works on Android as well as desktop

    Drawbacks

    • −Google Calendar link is a subscribed feed of tasks, not a full two-way sync
    • −250 contact cap on the free plan is small
    • −Fewer Google apps covered than Copper or Zoho CRM

    Pipedrive

    Price

    See vendor pricing (USD check pending)

    We could not confirm a US price yet. Check the Pipedrive pricing page.

    Pipedrive is a pipeline CRM rather than a Google-first one, but its Google support is solid. The knowledge base says email sync works with Google Apps and Gmail accounts, puts conversations in a Sales Inbox, links them to deals, leads or projects, and tracks opens. Gmail users can also send from a verified alias, which Pipedrive says is not available for Outlook or IMAP accounts. Calendar sync can run two-way with Google Calendar, so activities created in Pipedrive appear in Google and events created in Google come back as activities. The limits matter: email sync needs the Growth plan or higher, and only future events sync from your calendar. Pipedrive's pricing page blocked automated requests from our location, so we could not confirm its USD prices and mark them pending. For a team that wants to see every deal on a board and keep Gmail and Calendar in step, it remains a strong option.

    Strengths

    • +Two-way Google Calendar sync keeps activities and events matched
    • +Gmail alias sending is supported
    • +Visual pipeline is the core of the product

    Drawbacks

    • −Email sync is available on Growth and higher plans only
    • −Only future events sync from the calendar provider
    • −Pricing page blocked automated checks from our location, so USD prices are unconfirmed

    Quoted from the folk pricing page on November 11, 2026: $24 22€ /member/month $288 259€ billed yearly

    folk is a lighter relationship CRM aimed at founders, agencies and partnership teams. Its Gmail page describes syncing Gmail contacts and interactions into the CRM, and using the folkX extension to import contacts, enrich missing data and add notes without leaving the inbox. Outreach goes out through your own Gmail sender, including bulk emails and automated sequences. The Standard plan costs $24 per member per month billed yearly and lists pipeline management, email campaigns, contact enrichment, AI assistants and email, calendar and WhatsApp sync. Premium at $48 adds custom objects, deals, email sequences and dashboards. Every workspace starts with a 2-week trial with no card, but folk blocks the account at the end if you do not upgrade. It is a good fit when relationships matter more than forecasting; teams that need detailed sales reporting should look at Pipedrive or Zoho CRM.

    Strengths

    • +Emails go out from your own Gmail sender
    • +Standard includes contact enrichment and email campaigns
    • +No credit card needed for the 2-week trial

    Drawbacks

    • −Custom objects, deals and email sequences need Premium at $48 per member per month billed yearly

    Starter Suite from $25 per user per month, billed monthly or annually

    Quoted from the Salesforce Starter Suite pricing page on November 11, 2026: $ 25 USD/User/Month (Billed monthly or annually)

    Salesforce is the most capable platform here, but it is not built around Google. Starter Suite costs $25 per user per month billed monthly or annually and bundles sales, service, marketing and commerce features, with Pro Suite at $100 per user per month billed annually. Salesforce's Trailhead training explains how admins set up the Gmail integration in Setup so users can access Salesforce records from Gmail, and how adding an Inbox license brings Inbox productivity features into the same Gmail pane. Admins decide which users get those features. This setup gives large or fast-growing companies central control, but it takes an admin to configure, and the Inbox features cost extra. For a five-person team that lives in Gmail, Copper or Streak will be faster to adopt. For a company that knows it will need Salesforce's depth later, starting on Starter Suite avoids a migration.

    Strengths

    • +Starter Suite costs $25 per user per month
    • +Clear upgrade path to Pro Suite at $100 and larger editions
    • +Admins control the Gmail integration centrally in Setup

    Drawbacks

    • −Inbox features in Gmail need a separate Inbox license

    Plus from $29 per user per month billed annually; 14-day free trial

    Quoted from the Insightly pricing page on November 11, 2026: $29 per user / month All prices USD, billed annually

    Insightly combines a CRM with project management, which suits teams that deliver work after a deal closes. Its Gmail page says more than 17,000 Insightly users use its CRM for Gmail through the Insightly Sidebar Chrome extension. The sidebar shows Insightly information for an email contact, lets you create a contact or lead from a new inquiry, and saves messages from your inbox or sent folder; a Send and Save to Insightly button sends a message and logs it in one step. The Plus plan costs $29 per user per month billed annually and includes lead and contact management, project management and advanced reports. Workflow automation and lead routing need Professional at $49, and Enterprise is $99. There is no free plan, though a 14-day trial needs no card. Insightly's Google support is narrower than Copper's or Zoho's, focused on the Gmail sidebar rather than Calendar or Drive.

    Strengths

    • +Insightly says 17,000+ users use its CRM for Gmail
    • +Projects sit in the same CRM as contacts and deals
    • +All plans have a 14-day trial with no card

What to check before you buy

Decide whether the CRM should live inside Gmail

Streak and NetHunt CRM run inside the Gmail inbox, so reps rarely open another tab. Copper, HubSpot CRM, Capsule CRM, Insightly and folk use a Chrome extension or add-on that puts a CRM panel beside your email. Zoho CRM, Pipedrive and Salesforce are separate apps that sync with Gmail. If your team resists new tools, the inbox-based options are the easiest to adopt.

Check Google Calendar sync direction

Pipedrive offers two-way calendar sync, so events created in Google Calendar come back as CRM activities. Zoho CRM schedules synchronization of meetings with Google Calendar, while Capsule CRM publishes a calendar feed of tasks you subscribe to. If meetings drive your pipeline, choose a CRM with two-way sync.

Look past Gmail to Drive, Sheets and Contacts

Copper connects to Gmail, Contacts, Calendar, Drive, Sheets and Gemini, and Zoho CRM links Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, Drive and Tasks. Most other tools here focus on Gmail. If your proposals live in Google Docs or your reports live in Google Sheets, that wider coverage saves time.

Confirm which plan unlocks the Google features

Google features are not always on the entry plan. Pipedrive's email sync needs the Growth plan or higher, HubSpot's one-to-one click tracking needs Sales Hub Starter, Streak's free plan has no CRM pipelines, and Salesforce's Inbox features in Gmail need a separate license. Price the plan you will actually use.
