How much does Pipedrive cost for agencies in 2026?
Pipedrive costs $14 per seat per month on Lite, $39 on Growth, $59 on Premium, and $79 on Ultimate, all billed annually. A monthly-billing price was not shown on the pricing page, so confirm it at checkout.
Lite covers lead, calendar, and pipeline management, AI report creation, and meeting intelligence. Growth adds full email sync with tracking, automations and nurturing sequences, and forecast reports. Premium adds lead routing, custom scoring, data enrichment, contracts, and e-signatures. Ultimate adds account security rules, phone and email enrichment, a sandbox, and extended phone support.
Per-seat pricing means cost scales with your sales team, not with your contacts. For a five-person agency sales team, the gap between Growth and Premium is small enough that the extra features usually decide the choice.
| Plan | Price | What stands out |
|---|---|---|
| Lite | $14 per seat per month (annual billing) | Lead, calendar and pipeline management; AI report creation; 500+ integrations |
| Growth | $39 per seat per month (annual billing) | Lite plus full email sync, automations and nurturing sequences, forecasting, meeting scheduler |
| Premium | $59 per seat per month (annual billing) | Growth plus lead routing, custom scoring and enrichment, multi-email AI tools, contracts and e-signatures |
| Ultimate | $79 per seat per month (annual billing) | Premium plus account security rules, phone and email data enrichment, sandbox, extended phone support |
Is Pipedrive a good fit for agency new business?
Yes. It keeps the focus on deals moving through stages, and G2 reviewers value easier deal tracking from a single dashboard. Growth is the plan most agencies need because it adds email sync and automations.
It is not an all-in-one platform. It has less built-in marketing, client management, and project work than HubSpot or HighLevel.
If your agency already uses separate tools for email, projects, and billing, that narrow scope is a feature, because the CRM stays quick to learn and cheap to run. The risk is tool sprawl, so list what Pipedrive will connect to before you add it.
A practical test is to move your last three months of open proposals into a trial pipeline and see whether the stages, reminders, and reports help your team chase them. If they do, the Growth plan is usually the right size.
What could we not confirm for Pipedrive?
The security page returned an error, so SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, SSO, two-factor authentication, and data hosting regions were not captured. Mobile apps and support for lower plans were not stated either.
Only Ultimate lists extended phone support, with calls available Monday to Friday between 7:00 and 23:00 Central European Time. Ask for security documents before you store client data.
What integrations, security, and support does Pipedrive offer?

| Area | What Pipedrive offers |
|---|---|
| Integrations | More than 500 apps including Zapier, Zoom and Lemlist |
