What our research says

Attio

Attio is the CRM to look at when your sales motion does not fit HubSpot's shape — the object model bends, and the AI features read from that model rather than being bolted on. Call Intelligence and unlimited seats only arrive at the Pro tier, which is where the price starts to bite. The MCP server is the genuinely differentiating piece if your team already works through Claude or ChatGPT.

Pros

  • Free tier covers three seats with contact syncing and enrichment
  • Call Intelligence records, transcribes and logs calls natively on Pro
  • Workflows can be described in natural language instead of hand-built
  • Official MCP integration exposes CRM data to Claude and ChatGPT

Cons

  • Call Intelligence, sequences and permission controls are Pro-only
  • Plus caps at 10 seats, forcing a jump to Pro as the team grows
  • Per-seat pricing at the Pro tier is expensive for wide rollouts
  • Enterprise is annual-billed and custom-quoted

Village

Village answers a question cold-outreach tools cannot: who already knows this person well enough to introduce me. Pooling a whole team's contacts and scoring relationship strength is the difference between a real intro and an awkward LinkedIn ping. Since the latest repricing the entry cost is almost nothing at $1 a seat, so the real bill is credits: AI search, list building and agents draw from the pool and a busy team will be buying packs.

Pros

  • Finds warm-intro paths across the combined network of a whole team
  • Relationship scoring uses work overlaps and investor history, not just shared connections
  • API and MCP server are available on every plan, including Free
  • Core plan costs $1 per seat, so a team can try every feature cheaply

Cons

  • Credit metering means cost tracks usage, not seat count
  • Graph quality depends on how much of your team connects their accounts
  • Plans were reshuffled after September 2026 (the Pro tier is gone), so older quotes no longer apply
