Full-featured B2B CRM — pipelines, contacts, deals, AI assistant, automation. One payment. Yours forever. Your data never touches our servers.
20 seconds. Sound on for the full pitch — captions included either way.
A 10-person team on HubSpot pays $2,400 every year — forever. After five years that's $12,000 for software you'll never own.
Want AI in your CRM? Attio charges $8,280+/year before AI credits even start. HubSpot, Salesforce, and Pipedrive all charge extra for AI on top of their per-seat fees.
And it gets worse as you grow: on HubSpot Professional, hiring one more salesperson costs another $1,200 a year. Hire your 6th, your 10th, your 20th — on Kola, they cost $0 more.
Enter your current CRM setup below — we'll show your Year 1 savings and which Kola tier fits your team.
Compare your current subscription cost against a one-time Kola purchase
🔄 Also switching from one of these? Kola imports from them all:
* ActiveCampaign pricing is contact-volume based; calculation uses base plan rate per included seat.
Not a mockup, not a concept — the real app, built for the way B2B sales teams actually work.
Live pipeline value, win rate, follow-up queue and activity feed — your entire sales operation at a glance.
Most CRMs assume everyone you deal with is a customer. Kola doesn't.
Kola natively supports four contact types — Customer, Supplier, Subcontractor, and Partner — with type badges, filtered views, and linked deals built into every tier. Built for agencies, contractors, logistics firms, and any B2B business that manages relationships in every direction, not just down to the customer.
Two things Kola gives you that no subscription CRM is structurally able to.
Kola uses Bring Your Own Key. You connect your own OpenAI or Anthropic API key — stored in your browser, never on our servers. AI queries go directly to OpenAI or Anthropic under your account. Typical usage: $1–3 per year. Less than a coffee.
Starter runs entirely in your browser. Professional and Business run on a server you rent and control. Kola has zero access to your data unless you choose to add Cloud Backup — and even then, it's an encrypted off-site copy, never a dependency.
Not a feature checklist — a real comparison of what matters to a growing B2B team.

Ask Kola uses a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model. You connect your own OpenAI (GPT-4o-mini) or Anthropic (Claude) API key — stored only in your browser, never sent to Kola. AI queries go directly from your browser to OpenAI or Anthropic under your account. Typical usage costs $1–3 per year. No AI credits, no monthly add-on, no surprises.
We provide step-by-step setup documentation. If you can follow instructions to set up a router, you can self-host Kola. Most customers are live within 30–60 minutes. No IT team needed.

Upgrade your license key at any time and pay only the difference. No data migration, no new software — just a key swap. Your team and data stay exactly as they are.
Yes — 30 days, no questions asked. If Kola isn't right for your team, email support and we'll refund you in full.
An optional $49/year service that stores encrypted snapshots of your CRM data off-site. Cancel anytime — your app and all your data remain yours regardless. Think of it as insurance, not a subscription.
Yes. Starter is a shared-credential model — up to 3 people share one login. Perfect for a solo founder, two-person partnership, or a small team that doesn't need individual user accounts or an audit trail.
