Copper overview: who it is for and what it does.
Copper is a CRM for teams that already work inside Gmail, Google Calendar, Drive and Sheets. Its pitch is that contacts, emails and meetings are captured from Google Workspace into the CRM, so sales teams spend less time on manual data entry and can manage deals without leaving the inbox.
Independent reviewers describe four per-user plans: Starter, Basic, Professional and Business. TechRepublic and other guides report annual prices of about $9, $23, $59 and $99 per user per month, with monthly billing at roughly $12, $29, $69 and $134. The Starter plan is reported to cap contacts at 1,000 and to lack customisable pipelines and reporting, which is why most growing teams look at Basic or Professional.
Copper suits Google-centric small and mid-sized businesses more than teams on other stacks. Reviewers note that it integrates well with Google Workspace but has more limited coverage elsewhere, and that its per-seat cost is higher than several general-purpose CRMs once you leave the entry tier. One recent source describes a three-tier line-up without Starter, so confirm the live plans.

Strengths
- Deep Gmail and Google Workspace integration means contacts and activity are captured without manual entry. [1]
- A low entry price of about $9 per user per month annually makes it accessible to very small teams. [1]

Limitations

- Moving from Basic to Professional is a large price step, reported as more than 150 percent per user. [2]
