Disclosure: Clinch is ours, and it is listed first. It gets the same four fields as every other app, including its drawbacks.
Short answer
For one salesperson on an iPhone, our pick is Clinch — leads, reminders and commission with no paid tier and no account. For a small team that needs a shared CRM, HubSpot’s free CRM or Bigin.
Pipedrive is a strong sales CRM for teams, and its iPhone app is a companion to it: the listing says a Pipedrive account is required, and everything syncs to the Pipedrive web app. That account is a paid, per-seat subscription after the trial.
That is the right deal for a sales team. It is a heavy deal for one person selling cars, insurance, solar or real estate who just wants to know who to call today. This guide covers both.
Switch to Clinch if
- You sell on your own and live on your phone
- You pay for a seat mostly to get reminders
- You want what you earn on every sale, not a sales funnel report
Stay with Pipedrive if
- A manager needs to see the whole team’s deals
- You rely on email sync and automations
- Your company already pays for it

The apps in detail
Clinch
Ours
- Best for
- One salesperson who wants leads, reminders and what they earn on every sale, on their phone
- Highlights
- Every feature is in the free app — there is no upgrade
- Leads, reminders, notes and what you earn on every sale
- Press and hold any lead to call, WhatsApp or mark it sold
- CSV export, so leaving costs you nothing
- Pricing
- Free, no paid tier at all
- Watch out
- Single-user, iPhone and iPad only: no shared lead lists, no manager view and no web app. It is free because there is no server to pay for — which is also why it cannot offer team features.

Team CRM or personal sales tracker?
Every alternative except Clinch is a team CRM with a free doorway. That is the right call if a manager needs to see your deals. If nobody else looks at your leads, a team CRM is a lot of software to carry around for one job: remembering who to call next.
Clinch does the one-person version — leads, reminders, notes, a sale stamped as won, and what you earned — and keeps it on your phone with CSV export when you want out.
