About Copper
Copper is the easy-to-use CRM that's designed for and recommended by Google. Want to be more organized and productive? Try it now.
I like the simplicity of how it is laid out. It was easy to customize to some of my company's unique requirements.
When I asked about a refund for the past 10 months, they said that I should have cancelled and when I said that I did, they said prove it.

Good, well-balanced small business CRM
Pros:
Copper is feature-rich and did everything we wanted it to do to manage sales at a relatively large website. We used Copper to manage leads, convert them to opportunities, track payments, and fulfill our clients' orders. We also set up integrations with Slack and Google Forms, which made it much easier for clients to reach out and for us to track progress and discuss projects in a single tool (Slack).
Cons:
Pricing could be more competitive, but compared to Salesforce, it's probably not bad at all.
Alternatives Considered: Salesforce Sales Cloud
Reasons for Switching to Copper: Price and simplicity, given how capable it still was for our needs.
The CRM for sales team on Gsuite
Comments: I've used a lot of CRMs, from Salesforce to Pipedrive. Copper is hands down the best. Easy to use, easy for the team to adopt but still very powerful under the hood.
Pros:
Automated data entry. Pre-populates a lot of my contacts data so adding new leads is a simple point and click. The gmail integration is amazing. I can get a clear picture of my entire relationship from where I work - gmail. Im really starting loving the workflow automations and cool calculated fields I can make now.
Cons:
I'd like to see a better native integration with an email automation software
Alternatives Considered: Pipedrive, Salesforce Sales Cloud and HubSpot CRM
Reasons for Choosing Copper: I kept losing track of my conversations and follow up actions.
Switched From: Google Sheets
Reasons for Switching to Copper: Salesforce clunky, very expensive and the team hated it. As a small business we didn't use 30% of it. Pipedrive was ok, but very simple and seemed to suit a very small team. It lacked multiple pipelines and didnt have the integration to Gsuite that Copper provided. Hubspot free was very simple and the full paid version of hubspot was super expensive. I didn't need the marketing features at all. Copper also had a better user experience and gsuite integration.

Its simple to use and has all the information that we need

There are some functionality I wish to see from copper like being able to export the Pipeline Records
Alternatives Considered: HubSpot CRM
Reasons for Switching to Copper: The price and value for our small company
Pipeline let's go
Comments: Overall experience it's positive. Of course there are more features that I need to explore. I will do that when I upgrade my version.
Pros:
You have a great user design and it's super easy to get things done.
Cons:
Pipeline. I think there a lot of things to improve there. I don't if I make a comment on the company pipeline that comment does not appear on the company profile as well.

Exceptional Experience with Copper CRM!
Comments: I've had a great experience with Copper. Their support team is helpful and always strives to find the best solutions
Pros:
I like Copper because it integrates seamlessly with Google Workspace. It's user-friendly, quick to set up, and automates repetitive tasks and workflows. Additionally, fields and reports are easily customizable.
Cons:
One limitation is that not all fields can be included in reports. This can be frustrating for users who need comprehensive reporting capabilities, as it restricts the ability to analyze and gain insights from all available data. Users might have to find workarounds or use additional tools to obtain the full scope of their data analysis needs.
Basic CRM, looking for automated workflows, look elsewhere!
Comments: Copper is our CRM and is only used for our sales team. Our products are a mobile app and website that generate leads that go into Copper in which our sales team is able to qualify and view all communication with prospects and move them along the appropriate pipeline. One of the main problems that Copper solves for us is integrating with Slack and their mobile app to update us real-time of new leads. Also, a nice feature of Copper is their integration with G Suite (since Copper is a Google Product), that keeps track of all communication with each prospect. From a more technical perspective, Copper has a quite robust API that allows us to connect our mobile app attribution platform, Slack, PostgresSQL, and chatbot Intercom.
Pros:
One of the main benefits of Copper is real-time reports. We are able to breakdown won and lost revenue amongst our sales team and also account for projected sales revenue based on the opportunities in the pipeline and the expected close rate of those opportunities. Copper has automated actions that allow us to move prospects through pipelines effectively. We set automated reminders and tasks for opportunities based on their pipeline and stage within the pipeline. These reminders and tasks are also emailed and sent as a push notification to each respective lead owner.Copper has automated actions that allow us to move prospects through pipelines effectively. We set automated reminders and tasks for opportunities based on their pipeline and stage within the pipeline. These reminders and tasks are also emailed and sent as a push notification to each respective lead owner. We are a big fan of the Copper newsletters. They provide a clear roadmap of what to expect from them from a product development standpoint and what to expect next. Their emails are easy to digest, and optimized for mobile. Also, they ask for user input that has been integrated into their roadmap.
Cons:
While Copper has a quite robust API, they do not have any webhook receiver URLs. In order to effectively communicate data between Copper and another platform is through a paid Zapier account or Tray.io. Automated actions are nice, but the work flow automations are extremely limited. We are not able to send users automated emails, push notifications when they enter a new stage of a pipeline. More direct integrations with messaging services - transactional + marketing email services, push notification platforms, chat services.
Alternatives Considered: ActiveCampaign, Salesforce Sales Cloud and HubSpot CRM
Reasons for Switching to Copper: I didn't have much authorization in the selection of Copper, however, I have looked into switching costs and leaving Copper due to their limited workflow automations. Hubspot and Salesforce look more robust and integrated with our other marketing tools. We are too sunk in with Copper into Slack, our backend, and current sales process to switch over and learn again. As a result, we have decided to stick with Copper and wait anxiously for their new product updates.
Work without copper would be messy
Comments: I appreciate the use of Copper in my every day work load. It makes my day to day tasks more organized and work flow more smooth.
Pros:
My use of Copper for work, allows me to stay organized with keeping track of where I am with my leads and tasks. It helps me be more time efficient as well.
Cons:
I like that copper provides email tracking and link click tracking. I wish my company would upgrade to this link tracking feature.
Best CRM I’ve come across!
Comments: Overall I think it’s very user friendly and I love that the app is also very convenient to use. Helps it’s stay organized on the go as well. It also very rarely crashes. I would say it has crashed twice in the 4+ years I’ve been using it.
Pros:
I love that we are able to track everything related to a specific client. Every email, text, phone calls, task, state a case is in, etc. You can also make calls straight from the mobile copper app! So convenient. The administrator is able to customize the contacts to include what is necessary for their type of business. It also shows when some created a task, assigned a task, completed it.
Cons:
The only issue I can complain about is not about Copper itself but about the extension I have installed to chrome. I love that I can sync/relate emails to copper contacts so that all correspondence related to a contact shows up on that individuals copper—especially since we receive emails from courts, prosecutors, etc. and it’s helpful to sort the emails to the correct contact in copper. My main complaint is that once you “relate” an email to copper, you can’t unrelate it. Since we have hundreds of active cases at a time and we receive hundreds of emails daily, it’s easy to accidentally relate it to the wrong person. The only fix I’ve found is that you can delete the email in the copper contact feed (it does not delete it from Gmail) but it does leave a block in the feed that says “this email was deleted” which of course doesn’t look good. Really wish there was a way to unrelate emails altogether.
Copper CRM review
Comments: Pleased so far but they need to put more into development of features
Pros:
It's cost effective and much cheaper than the alternatives
Cons:
The livechat feature isn't live. It takes a few hours to get a response
Really love it!
Comments: Really great. Easy to use and super intuitive
Pros:
- How easy it is to learn. I use google for everything else so this was a breeze to learn
Cons:
- Not much at the moment, nothing I don't like about it
Copper CRM is Way Better than other CRM software I've tried -- and I've tried many.
Comments: With me now using Copper CRM, I've found that I can make about 20% more connections during a day because the software is so logically laid out and easy to use. It keeps all the information I need right where it would logically be located. So Copper has saved me time and made me more productive -- and it surprised me.
Pros:
Copper is well designed, and very easy to use. It is logical and well laid out. I've tested 7 other products before Copper and they all were too cumbersome and hard to run.
Cons:
I don't like having to retype the same address information into the program for a "Person" who I am Adding to a Company that already has that address information in it. There should be a pop-up that asks "Use same address as "Company Name?"
Sales for Organic Maple Syrup
Comments: Great tool for the price and for a team.
Pros:
A very essential tool, pretty easy to use for Sales CRM.
Cons:
Lots of features are not needed for the basic sale of a grocery product. Would like to link a People of a Company to be the Companies Primary Contact. so there is only one entry for that in the Company. Wish saved files could be viewed and not just downloaded.
Alternatives Considered: HubSpot Marketing Hub and Insightly
Reasons for Choosing Copper: Copper (Prosperworks) is much better.
Switched From: Results
Reasons for Switching to Copper: Better team integration. Better Gmail intergration.
Easy, Powerful CRM
Comments: If you are using Google Workspace, this is the simplest and most powerful way to manage your customers.
Pros:
Copper lets me do everything within Chrome--creating contacts, opportunities and tasks; following up with leads; tracking projects; searching for all of the above. It has saved time, built efficiency, and boosted our revenue.
Cons:
Customized fields aren't "smart." That is the only thing I can think of!
Copper
Comments: Copper has cut down dramatically on administration data entry try which allows for our staff to communicate with our prospects more frequently, which in return is bringing in more business for the company.
Pros:
Copper has helped our company tremendously in regarding to time spent updating our CRM systems. We use to have to add all emails to the system, Copper automatically adds all the emails which has cut down on our administration time dramatically. It will also pull contact information for the internet, which also helps cut down time so the time can be spent elsewhere. Another favorite feature is being able to view the contact file in gmail when an email from that specific person comes in.
Cons:
We wish that when adding notes into copper, there was more flexibility in regards to changing the color of the font or being able to highlight something within the note. Also, sometimes we have an individual in the system with more than one company but Copper doesn't allow you to add duplicate emails to multiple files.
Alternatives Considered: Salesforce Sales Cloud
Reasons for Choosing Copper: If you have ever used ACT, you will understand why.

Greatly appreciate the feedback, Jaimee!
Highly recommended
Pros:
Easy to use, great customer support, I would recommend this for any sales business
Cons:
I sue this on a daily basis and have become very fond of the product. I cant think of any cons about this CRM
Maximizing My Productivity and Sales.
Comments: Being able to view and update customer information without leaving Gmail is incredibly convenient and efficient.
Pros:
It is extremely intuitive and easy to use. I didn't have to invest hours learning how to use new software, this is great.
Cons:
What I liked least about the system is that despite its excellent integration, it can sometimes be less customizable than others on the market.
A must-have CRM tool
Comments: Copper has been a very useful tool for our company as it has allowed us to have a more efficient and organized customer follow-up, which has resulted in increased productivity and better collaboration among my team.
Pros:
The best thing about Copper is its seamless integration with Gmail email. I can automatically add emailing contacts to my account and see the entire history of past interactions with a customer in one place. I also love how I can add notes and reminders to each contact to follow up in a timely manner.
Cons:
sometimes the search for contacts can be a bit slow. However, this is not a big problem and does not significantly affect the overall user experience.
Using Copper as a Real Estate EA
Comments: Awesome!
Pros:
I like that we can access the software via mobile device and easily navigate. We have an option to customize contact type, details or information as needed. We can filter our leads and track them in a pipeline. We even have an option to export our data and easily track them in a sheet. The UI is very friendly and easy to use.
Cons:
Setting up drip campaigns, sequence emails can be quite difficult for beginners. At first, the integrations confused me but the customer support representatives are very attentive and helpful.
Alternatives Considered: Zoho CRM, Pipedrive and HubSpot CRM
Copper for Small Business
Comments: I like Copper, it is easy to use and integrated with Gmail. Cloud base allows use any place in the world. Accounts and analysts (people who do nothing but watch what I do) love looking at my copper but hate putting information in system.
Pros:
1. Organizes leads, people, and anything for sales. 2. sends reminder emails about presentation or phone call. 3. cloud based, can be done anywhere 4. Task managment 5. easy input with enough infomration on clients. Sometimes find info on leads online.
Cons:
1. Can't same attachments for emails. 2. Does not integrate with LinkedIn (App for LinkedIn mixing is terrible). 3. Not enough time to use because focoused on other things for small busines.
Alternatives Considered: Salesforce Sales Cloud
Reasons for Choosing Copper: IT person at company wanted to switch.
Switched From: QuickBooks Time
OK product. TERRIBLE customer service. DECEPTIVE cancellation policy
Comments: OK product. Terrible company to do business with. Avoid.
Pros:
Attractive, easy to use, with good G-Suite integration.
Cons:
Labyrinthian cancellation process with UI designed to lead users as far away from a successful cancellation as possible. No confirmations of cancellation in UI or emailed. No user viewable record of cancellation. I was billed for 10 months after I thought I cancelled. When I tried to login after noticing the charges, I was unable to even after attempting to reset my password (No user exists). I explained the situation to customer service and they reset my account and told me they weren't able to discuss refunds for the past 10 months until I processed another cancellation on my reset account. I did so and was billed AGAIN two days later. When I contact customer service, they said that per their policy, not only was that charge valid, but that I would be charged AGAIN next month before charges stopped. When I asked about a refund for the past 10 months, they said that I should have cancelled and when I said that I did, they said prove it. I told them that their system does not generate cancellation emails and they said that per company policy, they would provide no refunds without proof of cancellation. PROOF THAT DOESNT EXIST BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECORD OF CANCELLATION EMAILED TO YOU OR AVAILABLE IN THE APP.

Thank you for taking the time to submit a review. As a result of your feedback here and on other sites, and as a result of similar feedback from others, we have taken significant steps to improve as follows: 1. We hired a new VP of Customer Success, who took this problem on immediately. 2. He instituted 3 additional renewal email reminders: 90 days, 45 days, and 30 days before renewal 3. If the email reminder bounces due to account ownership changes, we assign the case to a Success Manager to track down the current owner to ensure the renewal notices are delivered 4. We adjust the renewal period not to start until we have confirmation that the account owner has been notified. 5. We rewrote our terms of service to make our policies more clear 6. We worked with support to provide clearer instructions on how to cancel an account. 7. We increased our support staff by 50% to make it easier for customers to get in touch. We wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
Beware, especially when it comes to pricing
Comments:
Beware of Prosperworks pricing strategy...of course nobody picks up a CRM system for a few months, not if you are making a serious decision for your company. Then, of course, the pricing decision favours the bigger payment annual plan (as opposed to the smaller monthly payment which is much higher on an ongoing basis) so I expect most businesses to opt for the annual plan.
But BEWARE of two things:
1) If you terminate at any time then "All charges are final, non-cancelable, and nonrefundable," This means you can sign on annually, use it for a month, give them their required 60 days termination notice, cancel.....but no refund.
2) AUTO RENEWAL. There is no prior notice on the 12 month mark. We had decided not to renew and thought we would get off the system at end of the 12 month period. Unfortunately, we thought we had commenced in March, but it turns out to be February, by which time the annual fee has been already taken from our account...then we are into the NOT REFUND terms.
Advice: I don't believe any small company can assess a crm for suitability during the 2 week free period after which we were forced to make a purchase decision. To save money (and we intended to be long term users) we signed on for annual plan. We stopped using the system after 6 months. I'm sure that Prosperworks knows this. This doesn't stop them from auto billing 12 months in advance without prior notice. Now we are paying for 2 years usage, having only used the system for 6 months.
More advice...the reason why we didn't immediately terminate from Prosperworks after 6 months (when we stopped using it) is obvious: we need to get our customer data out and that takes time. You should be aware of this as well: "All of Your Content on the Service may be permanently deleted by ProsperWorks upon any termination of your account in its sole discretion."
The customer service girl, after listening to my story said today "you can cancel on 60 days notice" but she did not tell me 1) that there would be no refunds (as per ProsperWorks terms) and 2) that they would delete all my data.
BEWARE BEWARE BEWARE. This is a marketing trap.
Pros:
I thought the gmail integration would be a good idea, it turns out that you have to (almost) click every email attached to the customer to see what is going on and alot of emails are just copies of previous emails. Prosperworks marketing is really good, and the interface and sell looks good. Also, any person who reviews Prosperworks say within 2 months of using the system will likely give 5 starts....I think reviewers should wait a bit and test the system more. In our case, we have now been with the company and the software for over a year.
Cons:
I concur with a previous user "3. Messy messy messy. The screen is just jammed packed with data, much of it useless, and it's difficult to find the data you want. Accordions inside of tabs inside of pop-ups? Really? Is that the best way to access the tasks associated with a client? It shouldn't take 3-4 clicks to get to a teeny tiny truncated accordion window of information. We should be able to see and sort through data related to a client within the main window. Bad design."
Copper, formerly ProsperWorks - Great tool for G Suite/Google Apps Users
Pros:
I've used Copper (under its original brand) both as a freelance digital contractor and in an agency setting. I found the standalone app to work fine, but there's no comparison to how well it worked with gMail, Google Docs and other elements of G Suite. I read a Forbes article about the rebrand and apparently Copper signals a move for the company where their apps are on Google Cloud, and to better support G Suite, and that seems like great news. If you are an agency using G Suite it seems to be a no-brainer to use Copper to me. Especially for tracking emails and customer conversations related to opportunities. The rebrand caught me by surprise when I was looking for something for a client. The Forbes article sheds some light on the rebrand and evolution. I'm a little biased as I wrote an article once for ProsperWorks, but this review is strictly from my experiences with the app, and the company. They have great customer success follow-up and have many scheduled support resources/weekly webinars to ensure you get the best out of your investment. I don't sell this app, I just was happy with how easy it was to use the tool, I've worked with Dynamics CRM, Salesforce and other CRM apps and I stand by my appreciation for how great this app is for G Suite and for agencies.
Cons:
I think the Copper rebrand is a sign of lots of changes for this solution, and the Forbes article says that there are positive changes to further align this solution with the Google ecosystem. I will say that the rebrand was news to me, but I haven't used the app in a month or so now since a recent contract ended .
COPPER CRM - A Great solution to all your sales needs!
Comments: COPPER has played a major role in making maintaining my daily input matrix. The overall experience has been great.
Pros:
The software is very handy and can help a lot specifically when the number of accounts to be managed are quite higher. It has helped in a lot with maintaining my daily input track.
Cons:
The software can be a bit difficult to understand for a new user. You can add some guides or blogs that can help a new user take up the things easily.
Easy to use software that's a good value for your money.
Comments: Copper is a great program that I recommend to everyone. It's easy to use, works well, and support is quick and responsive.
Pros:
Using Copper is easy and it keeps information well organized and easily accessible.
Cons:
The search function needs to be tweeked and is erratic at times. Sometimes I find it's easier to search for a company using a url than their name because using their name doesn't always bring them up.
I love Copper
Comments: Copper helps our teams stay on top of client outreach and helps our teams predict our sales pipelines accurately.
Pros:
I started at my company in June and I caught onto the program very quickly. It's very intuitive, user friendly, and helps our sales teams to stay organized
Cons:
There is nothing that I can think of that is missing from Copper at this time
