At a glance

Laureo vs Attio, in short

One bundle vs a CRM plus add-onsAttio is a CRM core that expects you to add Mailchimp for campaigns, Zendesk for tickets, PandaDoc for quotes, Calendly for booking, and a dialer for calls. A five-seat team running that matched stack typically pays five to seven times more than the same surface in Laureo on one subscription.
Fixed budget vs a credit meterLaureo includes a set monthly AI budget on every plan with no per-action surprises. Attio meters AI against workspace credits, and the bill quietly grows once the Research Agent and enrichment get heavy use.
Per workspace vs per seatAttio charges per seat at every paid tier. Laureo starts per workspace and adds lighter collaborator seats as you grow, so a small team is far cheaper to get started and to scale.
Flexible objects vs a fixed modelAttio lets you build custom objects for any relationship type, which engineering-led teams love. Laureo ships a fixed set of revenue entities with custom fields, which most sales teams find faster out of the box but less flexible at the object level.

Pricing

What you actually pay

Laureo

$58.33/mo

Pro, billed annually ($69.99 month-to-month)

One plan replaces the CRM plus email campaigns, sequences, tickets, knowledge base, surveys, scheduling, quotes, invoices, team chat, and five AI agents.

Attio

Why teams switch

Why teams move from Attio to Laureo

The whole stack, one billCRM, email campaigns, sequences, tickets, knowledge base, surveys, scheduling, quotes, invoices, payments, and team chat in one subscription. With Attio you buy the CRM and add a separate tool for almost everything else around it.
Five agents, not oneOne flags stale deals, one finds leads that have gone quiet, one cleans duplicates, one watches for churn risk, and one triages your inbox. Attio ships a single Research Agent plus a few AI attributes you wire up yourself.
No AI credit meterEach plan includes a fixed monthly AI budget, so the bill does not jump as your team uses the agents. Attio runs AI on workspace credits, and credit packs add $70 to $475 a month once the Research Agent gets used at scale.
Calling and scheduling built inBooking pages with double-book prevention and pre-meeting briefings ship in the plan, and calling and SMS connect natively. Attio sends you to Calendly for booking and to Aircall or JustCall for calls.
Support tooling includedTickets, a knowledge base, and CSAT and NPS surveys are part of the plan, so your team can run post-sale support without another vendor. Attio has none of these natively.
Almost nothing to logEmail syncs both ways, your calendar syncs on its own, and meeting notes attach to the right record. Attio is strong here too, so this is a match rather than a gap.

What Attio does well

Where Attio is a strong choice

Attio is the right call if you are an AI-first or VC-backed team that needs to model partnerships, contracts, or workspaces as fully custom objects and you are happy to bolt on best-of-breed tools for everything around the CRM.

Attio has fully custom objects, so I can model partnerships, contracts, or workspaces exactly how my business works.That is a real strength, and for an engineering-led team modeling many relationship types it is the cleanest data model in this space. Laureo uses a fixed set of entities with custom fields and conditional rules, which covers most sales and revenue teams, but if custom objects are core to how you operate, Attio fits better.
Attio has a $52M Series B and a roster of well-known AI startups using it.True. Google Ventures led that round, and AI-native names like Replicate, Granola, and Lovable give Attio real gravity in the startup world. Laureo competes on bundle and price rather than brand: the whole revenue stack on one bill for roughly a fifth to a seventh of the cost of Attio plus its add-ons.
Attio has SOC 2 Type II and an EU data residency option.Attio is further along on formal certifications and EU hosting, which matters for some regulated buyers. Laureo protects your data with encryption, per-organization isolation, and a tamper-evident audit trail, hosted in US data centers. If a specific certification or EU residency is a hard requirement, weigh that carefully.
Attio has call intelligence that records and transcribes Zoom, Meet, and Teams meetings.Attio leads here, with transcription across all three platforms in many languages. Laureo captures Google Meet transcripts and meeting notes today, which covers Meet-based teams, but if call intelligence across every platform is central to your workflow, Attio is stronger on that one feature.

Laureo vs Attio FAQs

Common questions about choosing between Laureo and Attio

Yes. Laureo imports contacts, companies, deals, and activities from a CSV with smart field mapping, and most migrations finish in under an hour. The one thing to plan for is custom objects: if you built several in Attio, you will remap them to Laureo entities and custom fields during the move.

Laureo includes a fixed monthly AI budget on every plan, so using the agents does not change your bill. Attio runs AI on workspace credits, and credit packs that run roughly $70 to $475 a month layer on top of the per-seat plan once the Research Agent and enrichment workflows get heavy use, so the total can climb well beyond the sticker. You can also bring your own AI key with Laureo for unlimited usage.

Attio focuses on the CRM core. It does not natively include email campaigns, support tickets, a knowledge base, surveys, quotes, invoicing, payments, booking pages, a built-in dialer, a shared team inbox, or in-app team chat. Laureo ships all of those in one plan, which is the main reason teams consolidate.

On sticker price for the CRM alone, Attio Plus at $29 a seat can look lower for a tiny team. But Attio charges per seat at every tier, and matching Laureo means adding Mailchimp, a help desk, a quoting tool, Calendly, and a dialer on top. Once you total the stack, a five-seat team usually pays five to seven times more than the same surface in Laureo.

If modeling many distinct relationship types as first-class objects is core to your business, Attio is genuinely the better fit; its flexible data model is its strongest feature. Laureo uses a fixed set of revenue entities with custom fields, which most sales and mid-market teams find faster to set up, but it is less flexible at the object level.

Laureo is an AI-first CRM that cuts manual data entry. Email syncs both ways, calendar events sync on their own, and meeting notes attach to the right record, so there is almost nothing to log. On top of that, five agents work in the background every day to flag stale deals, surface leads that have gone quiet, clean up duplicate data, watch for churn risk, and triage your inbox. It all comes with the CRM, email campaigns, automation, support, invoicing, and team chat in one plan from $58.33/mo billed annually.

Pro starts at $58.33/mo billed annually ($69.99 month-to-month) for one user. Business is $108.33/mo billed annually for two users, and Ultra is $166.66/mo billed annually for advanced needs. Every plan includes the full toolset, the five AI agents, and a monthly AI usage budget. No per-contact email billing and no per-conversation AI fees.

Yes. Every plan comes with a 14-day free trial with full access to every feature, including the AI agents, email campaigns, support tickets, and invoicing.

Yes. Laureo imports from a CSV with smart field mapping for contacts, companies, deals, and activities, with presets for 25+ common CRMs. Most migrations finish in under an hour, and there are step-by-step guides for HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive.

Laureo is built for teams of 1 to 50. Pro fits freelancers and solo operators, while Business and Ultra add seats, shared pipelines, role-based permissions, and team chat as you grow.

Yes. Laureo syncs email both ways with Gmail and Outlook, so messages log to the right contact and deal automatically. Calendar events and meeting notes sync too, with no manual entry.
