A better alternative than Lightfield
Lightfield builds your CRM from your inbox, and that part is genuinely good, but it stops at the sales core: no quoting, invoicing, support, surveys, or broadcast marketing. Laureo captures activity the same way and is an all-in-one platform for your whole sales process and operations, with pipeline, marketing, support, billing, scheduling, and five AI agents in one plan.

Why teams move from Lightfield to Laureo
- Auto-logging, plus the restYou get the same hands-off email and calendar capture, plus quoting, invoicing, payments, support, surveys, scheduling, and broadcast marketing that Lightfield leaves to other tools.
- Five agents, not a chatboxFive named agents flag deals that have gone quiet, clean duplicates, chase overdue invoices, draft your inbox replies, and write your morning brief on their own. On Lightfield you build and prompt agents yourself.
- One platform, not a stackOne platform for your whole sales process and operations: pipeline, broadcast marketing, sequences, tickets, knowledge base, quotes, invoices, scheduling, surveys, and team chat in one subscription. On Lightfield each is a separate vendor.
- Per workspace, not per seatUsers are included in the plan. Lightfield charges $89 a seat from user one, so five people pay $445 a month before any other tools.
- Cold outreach with its own infrastructureLaureo Ultra runs cold outbound on dedicated mailboxes with a managed ramp, per-mailbox pacing, and enforced caps, and replies surface in your normal inbox under a Cold filter. Lightfield sends sequences from your connected inbox with no separate cold infrastructure or ramp.
- Predictable AI costAn AI budget is included on every plan with no per-action fees, so costs stay predictable, and you can bring your own model key to run on it. Lightfield includes AI queries but caps automated actions at 1,000 a month on Startup and 20,000 on Pro.
- Nothing gated behind a tier jumpCustom objects, roles, sequences, and account scoring are on every paid Laureo plan. Lightfield gates custom objects to the $249 Pro tier and sequences to a custom Growth quote.
Lightfield's AI, and Laureo's agent roster
On Lightfield you build agents from prompts and direct them to prospect, run follow-ups, and update records, versus Laureo's five named agents that run on a schedule and act on their own.
Laureo runs named agents instead. They work in the background, come with every paid plan, and share one monthly usage budget with no per-conversation fees.
- Deal Follow-Up flags deals that have gone quiet and drafts the next follow-up.
- Record Hygiene cleans duplicates and fills missing fields.
- Collections Chaser chases overdue invoices and expiring quotes.
- Inbox Assistant drafts a reply to every inbound email worth one.
- Daily Brief reads pipeline, tasks and goals and writes your morning brief.
Every record is isolated to your workspace, there is a full history of who changed what, files are scanned for viruses before they are stored, the AI never trains on or keeps your data, and the platform is independently security tested and verified.
