Built by someone who knows Pipedrive from the inside

Really Fast CRM is built by a former Pipedrive engineer. Pipedrive got a lot right: a visual pipeline, deals at the center, activities that keep you following up. Really Fast CRM keeps that way of working, so there’s nothing to relearn.

What it changes is the waiting, and everything a small team pays for but never opens.

Measured on 10,000 contacts with a slowed processor. How we measure

What feels familiar

  • A pipeline board with stages, where you drag deals forward. Several pipelines if you need them.
  • Deals linked to people and companies (Pipedrive calls them organizations).
  • Activities: calls, meetings, emails and to-dos with due dates. Here they’re called tasks.
  • Notes on deals, people and companies, with a timeline on every record.
  • Custom fields on deals, people and companies.

What’s different

  • Speed. Open a deal, search, move a card: no spinner, no waiting. Our measurements, and how we take them.
  • The keyboard. Single-key shortcuts for everything you do all day, and a command palette (⌘K) to reach anything.
  • One plan. $5 per user a month billed yearly, or $6 monthly, with every feature included. No tiers to compare.
  • Small on purpose. Just the CRM. No add-ons, no marketplace, no setup project.

Bringing your Pipedrive data

Export each type from Pipedrive’s Export data page (organizations, people, deals, activities and notes), then import them in that order. Links are kept by Pipedrive’s own IDs, so deals find the right people even when two people share a name.

Before anything is saved, the preview shows what will be created, what matches records you already have, and anything that needs your attention. Undo the whole import in one click. The full guide.

What Pipedrive has that we don’t

To be straight about it: Pipedrive has far more. Email sync and tracking, workflow automation, a leads inbox, products, reporting dashboards, mobile apps and hundreds of integrations. If your team relies on those, stay with Pipedrive. If you mostly live in the pipeline, your contacts and your follow-ups, you’ll be happier with less.

A good fit if

  • You spend your day in the pipeline, contacts and follow-ups
  • Waiting for pages to load drives you mad
  • You want one predictable price

Probably not if

  • You rely on email sync or automations
  • You need a native mobile app

Questions

Can I import my Pipedrive deals, people and organizations?

Yes, along with activities and notes. Use Pipedrive’s Export data page, as Excel or CSV, and set Archive status to “All (archived or not)” so nothing stays behind. How it works

Do custom fields come across?

Yes. Pipedrive custom fields are recognized in the export and created for you, and you can check each one in the preview.

Is Really Fast CRM affiliated with Pipedrive?

No. It’s an independent product.

How is the speed measured?

With automated browser tests on 10,000 contacts, on a deliberately slowed processor, 20 runs per action. The method and the numbers
