Hi Alex,
The proposal looks good. Could you confirm whether the kickoff date can move to next Tuesday?
Thanks, Jordan
Illustrative workflow with sample customer data.
Choose the workflow that fits your team
Pipedrive is a strong fit for teams organized around a visual sales pipeline, activities and an established integrations ecosystem. If that setup already works for you, compare the improvements you need before moving.
Consider Heffl when conversations drive your sales day: open an email, see the linked contact or deal, prepare a reply and keep the next action close. Hefy and inbox routines help prepare supported work for review. See the agents and routines before deciding.

Compare the cost of the workflow, not just the entry price
Start with five users and list the features you actually need: mailbox connections, AI replies, automations, permissions and reporting. Compare the monthly total using the same currency and billing period. Include add-ons, usage limits and any setup work.
Use Heffl’s current pricing and Pipedrive’s current pricing for the final calculation. Bring that list to a demo so you can test your required workflow on the appropriate plan.
Run one real sales conversation through the trial
- Connect a supported mailbox and open a customer thread.
- Link the thread to a contact or deal and check the context.
- Prepare a reply, review its facts and tone, and choose when to send it.
- Check the deal’s next action and try the repeat work your team needs.
Review subprocessors and the data processing agreement as part of your evaluation. Use the migration checklist to plan the data move before cancelling Pipedrive.
See the workflow before you switch.
Connect a supported mailbox, try a small set of contacts and deals, and review your first reply. Use your trial to decide whether Heffl fits how your team sells.
The details, without the detour.

Does Pipedrive already have AI features?
Yes. Pipedrive offers AI email creation, email summaries and sales assistance. Compare the actual inbox and follow-up workflow in each product, along with the plan your team needs.
Can I move my Pipedrive data to Heffl?
Heffl has file imports for contacts, companies, leads and deals. Export your Pipedrive data, configure your destination fields and pipelines, and test a small batch. This is not a one-click Pipedrive migration; email history, attachments, automations and activity history need separate review.
How should I compare the cost?
Compare the current plans that include your required email, automation and AI workflows. Use the same number of users, currency and billing period, and account for limits and add-ons. Check both vendors’ pricing pages before buying.
