Sales teams like how little it asks of them: a visual pipeline, drag a deal along, and the reporting follows without configuration. Seats cost 14 euros to 79 euros a month billed annually, there is no free plan, and useful extras such as LeadBooster are paid add-ons. Pipedrive OÜ is registered in Estonia, though US firm Vista Equity Partners has held the majority since 2020.

noCRM.io is headquartered in Paris, France, founded in 2014, and is part of Groupe Positive. Data is hosted on AWS Ireland with backups in AWS France, encrypted at rest, and the service is audited yearly for security. As a French-owned platform under EU jurisdiction, it offers full GDPR compliance as a native European alternative to Salesforce and HubSpot.
Why choose noCRM.io over Pipedrive?
The decisive argument is data jurisdiction. Pipedrive is headquartered in the United States, which means personal data processed through it can be subject to non-EU legal regimes: the US CLOUD Act, FISA 702, or similar laws depending on the provider. After the 2020 Schrems II ruling, EU organisations must carry out a transfer impact assessment for every such data flow.
noCRM.io removes that overhead. As a France-based provider, it operates under EU GDPR, and data stays inside the EU/EEA by default. For regulated sectors such as health, public administration, and finance, that's not a nice-to-have but a requirement. For everyone else, it's concentration-risk insurance: you avoid depending on a single jurisdiction that can change the rules without warning.
