Copper alternative

A better alternative than Copper

Copper is a clean, Gmail-native CRM, but it skips Outlook and its real sales tier starts at $59/seat before you bolt on email marketing, tickets, quotes, and scheduling. Laureo is an all-in-one platform that runs your whole sales process and operations: pipeline, marketing, support, billing, and scheduling in one plan, with six AI agents (Ticket Triage on Ultra) and both Gmail and Outlook included.

Verified June 2026Re-verified 2026-06-17 (copper.com/pricing): Copper still has no Outlook or Microsoft 365 support, and its $9/seat Starter tier (billed annually) excludes deal tracking and pipelines, so the real sales floor is Professional at $59/seat.Re-verified 2026-06-17 (copper.com/resources, the Copper GPT connector listing): Copper GPT is a read-only assistant connector that can read records but cannot create, edit, or delete them; the AI Email Rewriter and Template Generator stay writing-assist only, gated to Professional and Business.

Why teams switch

Why teams move from Copper to Laureo

  • Gmail and Outlook, both waysTwo-way email and calendar sync for both inboxes. Copper is Gmail-only, so one Outlook teammate rules it out.
  • Agents that act, not just answerSix agents start on their own when the work shows up: they route new form leads, follow up on quiet deals and opened quotes, catch duplicate companies, turn contact emails into CRM work, and sort new support tickets. Copper just answers questions through a third-party assistant.
  • One plan, not five subscriptionsCRM, campaigns, sequences, tickets, quotes, invoices, scheduling, and team chat in one plan. A typical Copper setup adds Mailchimp, Zendesk, and Calendly.
  • Deals on every planPipelines, deals, and leads are standard on every plan. Copper leaves them out of the $9 Starter, so its real sales tier is $59/seat.
  • Marketing built inBroadcast campaigns with A/B testing and segmentation ship in the plan. Copper caps Gmail bulk send at 200 contacts and sends you to Mailchimp.
  • Support desk and Help Center built inA three-pane Service inbox with per-priority SLAs and macros, a branded Help Center, and on Ultra an AI that drafts replies for your approval with a signed resolution log plus the AI Customer Support Agent add-on that only answers from your verified articles and hands off to a human when unsure. Copper has no support desk and routes tickets to Zendesk.
  • Bills in any currencyQuotes and invoices in 48 currencies with per-record overrides, on every plan. Copper paywalls multi-currency at its Business tier.
AI agents

Copper's AI, and Laureo's agent roster

Copper's AI

Copper ships a read-only assistant connector that answers questions about your records, plus email-writing helpers, versus Laureo's six named agents that start on their own when the work shows up, five of which ask before they change anything while Ticket Triage sorts new tickets on Ultra.

Laureo runs named agents instead. They work in the background and share one pool of monthly AI credits with no per-conversation fees. The five on the Agents page ask before they change anything and come with every paid plan; Ticket Triage comes with Ultra.

  • Lead Router reads each new form lead, drafts a first reply and proposes an owner and a follow-up task.
  • Deal Follow-Up flags deals that have gone quiet and drafts the next follow-up.
  • Duplicate Guard checks each new company for a duplicate and proposes the merge.
  • Quote Follow-Up drafts a follow-up when a client opens a quote without accepting it.
  • Inbox Clerk turns email from your contacts into CRM work, such as a task, a ticket or a deal link.
  • Ticket Triage sorts each new customer ticket and finds the matching help article, on the Ultra plan.
Security
