Pipedrive
By Pipedrive Inc. (majority owned by Vista Equity Partners) · pipedrive.com
Affordable and very easy-to-use sales CRM with Estonian roots and EU customers hosted in Frankfurt/Dublin. Since 2020, however, the company is majority-owned by American Vista Equity Partners, headquartered in New York, so US legislation such as the CLOUD Act can reach the data despite EU storage.
Best for: Small sales teams that want a simple, visual pipeline at a low price and accept American ownership
