VERDICT

Should I use NinjaPipe?

NinjaPipe is a CRM built for small sales teams, agencies, and field sales. Manage leads, automate follow-ups, unify email, WhatsApp & SMS, and close deals faster without the complexity of HubSpot or Salesforce. Free to start. - ninjapipe.com

Depends. Small sales teams, agencies, and field sellers wanting a cheap all-in-one CRM should try the free tier first. Enterprise buyers or anyone wanting polished, mature execution should look elsewhere.
