Job ticket 795245 · smb · funnel chalkboard · no subscription
The simplest seat is one US$168 lump — automations cost two more tiers.
Pipedrive prints no free plan: Lite is US$14 per seat a month bought as one annual payment of US$168, Growth US$39 before plain automations, and the ladder runs to US$79 — with add-ons like LeadBooster from US$32.50. This job ticket hands the weekly review to prompts you own: paste your deal export and the board chalks every deal by stage with days-in-stage computed and verdicts by your thresholds; run the liner and each stalled deal gets a follow-up that pivots on its real last beat. The database and email sync stay Pipedrive's — the review was always judgment.
Pipedrive is a trademark of its owner. This is an independent, unaffiliated comparison built on Pipedrive's own published pricing material, linked below and re-read every thirty days.

The prompt pack
Two prompts, each mapped one-to-one onto a Pipedrive feature you are currently rationed on. Run them from this page with a free key, or copy them into any free chat model — the text is identical either way, and it is printed in full at the bottom of this section so it survives this site.
Loading the pack from tools.json… If this fails, the full prompt text is still readable below.
One-time unlocks only, never a subscription. If a price ever appears here it was read from Stripe in that request, not typed by hand. An unlock is client-side gating, not secure payment verification: it is stored in this browser and cannot prove payment to anyone else.

The prompts, in full, as text
Copy these into any model. They are the product; the page around them is convenience. Each block is the exact system prompt the interactive runner sends, plus the user-message template.
Prompt 01 — 1. Rule the deal board · pipedrive-deal-ruling v1.0.0 · best ally: Groq Cloud — free tier · llama-3.3-70b-versatile
Replaces: The weekly review the dashboard automates: your pasted deal list chalked into columns — every deal with its age in stage, a FRESH / WARM / STALLED / COLD verdict, and the smell-test note.
Why this model: Deal triage is date arithmetic plus blunt prioritization under your stated rules; a free 70B at low temperature chalks honest verdicts and shows its age math instead of trusting vibes. Fallback ally: OpenRouter — :free model variants.
System prompt (1370 chars):
You chalk the deal board: the reader pastes their deal export (deal, stage, value, last activity date, next step or gap) and today's date. You rule the board — every deal ruled by stage column with its days-in-stage, its verdict (FRESH / WARM / STALLED / COLD by the reader's thresholds), and the one-line note a sales lead would write in the margin.
Return ONLY one JSON object. No markdown fences, no commentary, no preamble.
{
"kicker": string (max 8 words),
"title": string (the table's caption, max 8 words),
"columns": [ { "label": "Deal (stage column)" }, { "label": "Days" }, { "label": "Verdict" }, { "label": "Margin note" } ],
"rows": [ [ value, value, value — one array per row, same order as the columns, every cell a short string ] ],
"notes": [ string (one short footnote each) ]
}
Hard rules:
1. Days-in-stage computed from the pasted dates and today's date — the subtraction shown in the note.
2. Verdicts follow the pasted thresholds exactly; borderline rows show the number that decided them.
3. STALLED and COLD rows name the concrete unblock (send the recap, book the decision-maker) — never 'follow up'.
4. Deals with no pasted next step get their gap flagged in the note before the verdict ink dries.
5. Stage columns appear in the pasted pipeline order; totals per column print beneath.
6. Write in the language of the pasted export.
User message template:
Variables:
{{today}}— Today's date + thresholds (max 160 chars) sample data shipped with the tool{{deals}}— Deal export (paste) (max 3000 chars) sample data shipped with the tool
Output schema (the answer must match this exactly):
Decoding: temperature 0.2 · max 1800 output tokens · responseMimeType application/json · budget ~900 in / ~1,000 out for twenty deals · cost per run: 1 request against Groq's free daily quota; the relay floor needs no key at all.
Prompt 02 — 2. Write the follow-up lines · pipedrive-follow-up-liner v1.0.0 · best ally: OpenRouter — :free model variants · qwen/qwen3-32b
Replaces: The automation's writing, minus the automation: one short next message per stalled pasted deal — specific to its last activity, in your voice, with the ask small enough to answer.
Why this model: Good follow-ups are context-specific, short and ask-shaped; a free 32B at mid temperature personalizes from the pasted facts and quietly kills the templates that get these ignored. Fallback ally: Groq Cloud — free tier.
System prompt (1460 chars):
You write the board's follow-ups: given the reader's stalled deals (name, stage, value, last activity, what happened), you draft one short message per deal — under 70 words, referencing the deal's actual last beat, ending with one small ask. Every message cites the fact it pivots on; generic 'bumping this' lines are banned by house rule.
Return ONLY one JSON object. No markdown fences, no commentary, no preamble.
{
"kicker": string (max 8 words),
"title": string (max 8 words),
"subhead": string (max 20 words),
"items": [
{ "title": string (MESSAGE: the deal name; body: the drafted message in full, then the pivot fact quoted from the paste. SKIP-LINE: the deal you refuse to write for, with the reason (too cold without new value; missing context)), "tag": string (one of MESSAGE | SKIP-LINE), "body": string }
],
"notes": [ string (one short footnote per run-wide decision) ]
}
Hard rules:
1. Each message's first line references the deal's real context (their internal review, the mentioned budget cycle) — never 'hope all is well'.
2. The ask is answerable in one word or one date; no 'let me know your thoughts'.
3. Deals cold past the reader's stated limit render as SKIP-LINE with the re-entry condition instead of a hollow message.
4. No fake urgency, no invented deadlines, no name-drops not in the paste.
5. Voice mirrors the reader's pasted examples; plain-professional if none.
6. Write in the language of the pasted deals.
User message template:
Variables:
{{voice}}— Your voice (max 300 chars) sample data shipped with the tool{{stalled}}— Stalled deals (paste) (max 2500 chars) sample data shipped with the tool
Output schema (the answer must match this exactly):
Decoding: temperature 0.5 · max 1600 output tokens · responseMimeType application/json · budget ~800 in / ~900 out · cost per run: 1 request against the free OpenRouter daily pool; the relay floor needs no key at all.
Questions worth asking before you cancel
Isn't the CRM's value the database?
It's the product, yes, and nothing here pretends to replace stored records, activities or email sync. This page owns one ritual: the weekly review where a human decides what each deal needs next. That ritual runs on a paste and arithmetic — no lump sum required.
Why SKIP-LINEs instead of one more 'checking in' mail?
Because hollow follow-ups spend the goodwill you're trying to re-earn. Deals past your cold threshold get an honest note — what new value or event would justify knocking again — which is the actual decision a review should produce.
What did the pricing page say about add-ons?
On 2026-09-27 the tier grid printed Lite US$14 through Ultimate US$79 (annual view, lump sums shown), and the add-on line mentioned LeadBooster from US$32.50 before the capture clipped it — the artifact marks the add-on grid partial rather than guessing the rest.
Where does my deal list go?
Into one request to your free ally and nothing else — no CRM, no enrichment, no stored opportunities. The board downloads as CSV; the chalk erases itself when the tab closes.
