Where they pull apart

Attio

Stands out: A hosted MCP server and REST API are available on every plan, including Free, with a 14-day Pro trial.

Watch out: Plus caps at 10 seats. Call Intelligence, sequences, and AI agents sit on Pro. Extra workspace credits are add-on packs.

Not the right fit for

Teams of 11+ that will not pay for Pro
Recruiters who need a full ATS, not a CRM

Stands out: Calling inside the CRM (not a bolted-on dialer), plus WhatsApp, Calendly, HubSpot, and a first-party MCP.

Watch out: Phone lines are $1/line/month, which is not the CRM seat. Solo annual is $9/user. Calling is usage-based on top.

Not the right fit for

Enterprises standardised on Salesforce
People who only need SMS
Buyers who need a sub-$9 seat
