# Migaru vs Pipedrive

A pipeline you move, or one that moves.

> Pipedrive is a sales CRM built around a visual pipeline, with a low entry price per seat and, since September 2026, Nova: a meeting assistant on every plan that records calls and proposes updates. Migaru starts from your conversations instead: every plan files each email thread and meeting on its records, preps your external meetings and drafts follow-ups for you to send.

| **Email and calendar** | Gmail or Outlook with its calendar, from up to two years back. Each outside thread and meeting is filed on its contacts and account, and people and companies it hasn't seen are added for you. | Two-way email sync from the Growth plan; Lite has none. |
| **Stage, value and close date** | Suggested for you to accept or dismiss, by default. Every field can be set to fill itself, suggest, or be left alone, and summaries and last-contact dates keep themselves current. | Nova proposes changes to a deal's stage, value and close date after a meeting, for you to approve. |
| **Call recording** | None, and no bot joins your calls. Upload the transcripts your recorder exports, as subtitles, text, Word or PDF, and each is filed on its meeting. | Nova records meetings through the desktop app or a visible notetaker in Google Meet, Zoom and Teams, on every plan. |
| **Meeting prep** | A brief on each external meeting in the next 48 hours, from the account, its people, recent threads, open deals and open tasks. | Nova writes a briefing before meetings from CRM data, email, calendar and recent activity. |
| **Sending email** | Never. Follow-ups and sequence steps wait in a review queue, and approving one puts a draft in your own mailbox for you to send. Migaru's own code can't send email. | Sends email from the CRM, with sequences and workflow automation from Growth. |
| **Your data** | Import CSV files of up to 50,000 rows each, export any view as CSV, Excel or JSON, and read and write every record through the API or the MCP server. | An API and a marketplace of integrations. |

## Where Migaru and Pipedrive differ

### Pipeline first, or conversations first

Pipedrive is built around the pipeline: deals on a board, moved along by the activities you schedule and log. Migaru starts from the conversations: it files every outside thread and meeting on its contacts and account, adds the people and companies it hasn't seen, and keeps summaries and last-contact dates current.

### Email on every plan

Pipedrive's email sync starts on its Growth plan. Migaru reads Gmail or Outlook and its calendar on every plan, from up to two years back.

### Recording

Nova, launched in September 2026, records meetings and suggests CRM updates on every Pipedrive plan. Migaru doesn't record: it files the transcripts you upload and reads them for what each side promised.

### Price

Pipedrive starts lower, at $14 per seat per month billed annually. Migaru starts at $35 per user per month, and Pro is one price for the workspace, $399 per month for the workspace, for up to 5 users.

## Choose Pipedrive if

- You want the lowest price per seat and a visual pipeline you manage by hand.
- You want a meeting recorder included on every plan.
- You rely on a large marketplace of integrations.

## Choose Migaru if

- You want email and calendar filed for you from the first plan.
- You want promises from calls turned into tasks, and follow-ups drafted for you to send.
- You'd rather the record kept itself than log activities by hand.
