CRM Alternatives
Better alternatives to your current CRM
Indie hackers don't need enterprise sales suites, Notion database hacks, or spreadsheet cobbled together with Zapier. They need a unified customer database — one NPM package, one filterable table, $9/month flat.
Why switch to TinyCRM?
Developer-first
Two lines of code. An NPM SDK with identify() and ping(). No UI onboarding required.
$9/month flat
Unlimited users, all features, one price. No per-seat tax as your team grows.
Unified view
See one customer across all your products, merged by email. No duplicate records.

Detailed comparisons, feature tables, and migration guides for each tool — so you can make an informed switch.
TinyCRM vs Notion
A real CRM, not a database hack
Notion is flexible but wasn’t built for customer tracking. TinyCRM gives you a purpose-built customer database with an NPM SDK.
TinyCRM vs Airtable
Skip the spreadsheet-CRM hybrid
Airtable is powerful but requires manual setup for CRM workflows. TinyCRM is purpose-built with automatic email merging.
TinyCRM vs HubSpot
All the CRM, none of the bloat
HubSpot is built for enterprise sales teams. TinyCRM is built for indie hackers who want a customer database, not a marketing suite.
TinyCRM vs Spreadsheets
Graduate from Google Sheets
Spreadsheets don’t merge duplicates, track across products, or offer an API. TinyCRM does all three for $9/month.
TinyCRM vs Pipedrive
Customers, not pipelines
Pipedrive optimizes for sales pipelines. TinyCRM optimizes for seeing every customer across every product you build.
TinyCRM vs Salesforce
Enterprise power, indie hacker simplicity
Salesforce needs admins, consultants, and months of setup. TinyCRM needs two lines of code.
Ready to switch?
TinyCRM imports from any CSV. Move your existing customers from Notion, Airtable, or Google Sheets in minutes — then install the SDK and let tracking run automatically from that point forward.
