Zero also finds your customers. ainocrm is for the deals you already have.
Zero and ainocrm both take data entry away from salespeople. Both keep deals up to date with AI, both store data in the EU, and both connect to Claude.
ainocrm concentrates on what happens once you are talking to a customer. Salespeople update it by talking, out loud if they like. Each stage has requirements the CRM checks, and a deal moves when they are met. Leaders get a forecast that shows how reliable it is.
Zero also covers finding customers, with a lead database, enrichment, and email and LinkedIn sequences, and its price includes them: about €68 per seat a month on annual billing. ainocrm is €49, for a team that already knows who it sells to.
