Breakcold is no longer the "social selling CRM" we reviewed in 2024. Since summer 2025 it has repositioned itself as an AI-native CRM: AI agents move deals through your pipeline, log activity and create follow-up tasks, while your LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp and Telegram conversations sync into one inbox. As of October 2026 there is a single plan at $99 a month (1 seat, 2 connected accounts, 3,000 AI actions), extra seats at $10, and a 14-day free trial. It's a good CRM for small B2B teams that sell through conversations, but it is not an outreach tool: it doesn't automate LinkedIn and no longer advertises cold email campaigns.
Below: what changed, current pricing, pros and cons, who it suits, and the CRMs and outreach tools to compare it with.

What changed at Breakcold since 2024
In June 2024, Breakcold sold two plans (CRM Essentials at €29 and CRM Pro at €59 per user per month), and CRM Pro included email campaigns, an email verifier and domain rotation. Its pitch was social selling: engage prospects' LinkedIn and X posts from a feed, then track deals in a pipeline.
In a post on its own blog, Breakcold's founder explains that the team "slightly pivoted" during summer 2025 to build what it calls the first "true AI native CRM", and adds that Breakcold "is NOT a sales CRM with social capabilities anymore" (Breakcold blog). In practice:
- Automatic setup. You enter your website URL and Breakcold creates lists, pipelines, tags and custom fields for your business.
- A self-updating pipeline. Based on email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Telegram conversations, booked meetings, notetaker transcripts and notes, the AI moves leads between stages and adds tags.
- AI agents that create tasks. You pick an "AI personality" that sets your follow-up rhythm; tasks come with a short reasoning and an AI-suggested message you can send from the right channel.
- Agent-friendly. A hosted MCP server and a REST API let Claude, ChatGPT or other agents read and update records, tasks and the inbox.
- Enrichment and meetings. Unlimited person and company metadata enrichment, email and phone waterfall enrichment (paid in tokens), and a meeting recorder that summarizes calls into the CRM.
What you won't find on the current site or in the help center: email campaigns, domain rotation or LinkedIn automation. Breakcold's help center answers the question directly: "No, Breakcold is not a LinkedIn automation software. It's an AI Native Sales CRM that happens to have social selling capabilities" (Breakcold help center).
Breakcold pricing in October 2026
Breakcold now has one plan (Breakcold pricing):
| Item | Price |
|---|---|
| Base plan (1 seat, 2 connected accounts, 3,000 AI CRM actions, unlimited person and company enrichment) | $99/month |
| Extra seat | +$10/month each |
| Extra connected account | +$10/month each |
| Quarterly billing | 10% off ($89.10/month equivalent) |
| Annual billing | 20% off ($79.20/month equivalent, $950.40 a year) |
| AI tokens beyond the included 1,500 | Usage-based |
Breakcold gives its own example: 5 seats cost $139 a month. Tokens pay for AI features, email and phone enrichment and call recording; Breakcold's FAQ estimates about $90 a month of token usage for 300 highly active contacts, so heavy AI users should budget for more than the base price. Existing customers keep their older prices.
Pros and cons
Pros
- One inbox for LinkedIn, email, WhatsApp and Telegram, attached to each contact and deal.
- The pipeline updates itself from conversations and meetings, which removes most manual CRM admin.
- Cheap to add people: $10 per extra seat after the base plan.
- MCP server and API, useful if your team already works with Claude or ChatGPT.
- Unlimited contacts, pipelines, custom objects and fields on the single plan.
Cons
- No outreach engine: no LinkedIn automation and no cold email sequences, so you need a separate tool to start conversations at volume.
- Token-based billing for AI, enrichment and call recording makes the real monthly cost harder to predict.
- A solo user now pays $99 a month, versus €29 for the entry plan in 2024.
- Letting AI move deals and create tasks requires checking its decisions at the start, especially with unusual sales cycles.
Who should use Breakcold?
Breakcold suits agencies, consultants and small B2B sales teams whose deals happen in conversations across LinkedIn, email and messaging apps, and who hate updating a CRM. It's a weaker fit for teams that need a prospecting engine (find leads, automate first touches), for large sales organizations with complex reporting, or for anyone who expected the 2024 email campaign features.
Our verdict
Breakcold made a clear bet: be the CRM that runs itself, and leave outreach to other tools. For a 3 to 10 person team selling through LinkedIn and WhatsApp, $99 plus $10 per extra seat is fair, and the self-updating pipeline is a real time saver. Pair it with an outreach tool if you need volume, and run the 14-day trial on real conversations before committing to annual billing.
The best Breakcold alternatives in 2026
The right alternative depends on what you used Breakcold for. If you want a CRM, compare folk, Attio, Pipedrive and HubSpot. If you used it to prospect on LinkedIn and email, you need an outreach tool.
| Tool | Type | Starting price (October 2026) | Outreach features |
|---|---|---|---|
| useArtemis | Outreach + lead finding, unified inbox | $69/month (Starter) | Automated LinkedIn + email sequences |
| folk | Light CRM for relationship-driven sales | $24/member/month billed yearly (Standard) | Email campaigns; sequences on Premium ($48) |
| Attio | Flexible CRM for startups | Free (up to 3 seats); Plus $44/user/month, $35 billed annually | Sequences on Pro ($99, or $79 billed annually) |
| Pipedrive | Pipeline-first CRM | €14/seat/month billed annually (Lite) | Nurturing sequences from Growth (€39) |
| HubSpot | CRM + marketing suite | Free CRM; Professional €90/seat/month billed annually | Email campaigns from Starter |
Pipedrive and HubSpot prices are shown in euros, as displayed to European visitors in October 2026.
useArtemis
If what you really need is to start conversations, useArtemis is the complement to (or replacement for) a conversation CRM. Find leads with Discover (B2B database with verified emails), the LinkedIn scraper or the email finder, then run sequences mixing LinkedIn invitations, messages, profile visits and likes with emails, written with AI and paced at safe sending limits. Replies from LinkedIn and email land in one unified inbox, and the Scale plan adds automatic AI replies. Plans: Starter $69, Scale $159, Agency $399 a month, credits roll over, no free trial. It's an outreach platform rather than a CRM, so keep a CRM for deal tracking.
folk
folk is the closest in spirit to the old Breakcold: a simple CRM with a LinkedIn extension, email, calendar and WhatsApp sync, AI fields and email campaigns. Standard is $24 per member per month billed yearly; Premium ($48) adds deals, custom objects and email sequences. Two-week free trial, no card (folk pricing).
Attio
Attio is a flexible, data-model-first CRM with real-time contact syncing and enrichment. The Free plan covers up to 3 seats; Plus is $44 per user per month ($35 billed annually) and Pro, with call intelligence and sequences, is $99 ($79 billed annually) (Attio pricing).
Pipedrive
A visual, pipeline-first CRM that many small teams already know. Plans run from Lite (€14 per seat per month billed annually) to Ultimate (€79); Growth (€39) adds full email sync and nurturing sequences. 14-day free trial (Pipedrive pricing).
HubSpot
The default when sales and marketing want one platform. The CRM is free; paid Starter, Professional and Enterprise tiers are priced per seat, with Professional at €90 per seat per month billed annually in October 2026 (HubSpot pricing).

FAQ
What is Breakcold?
Breakcold is an AI-native sales CRM published by Logike SAS. It syncs email, LinkedIn, WhatsApp and Telegram conversations into one pipeline, and AI agents move deals, log activity and create follow-up tasks. It targets agencies, startups, consultants and sales teams up to about 30 people.
How much does Breakcold cost?
As of October 2026, Breakcold has one plan at $99 per month including 1 seat, 2 connected accounts and 3,000 AI CRM actions. Extra seats and connected accounts are $10 per month each, quarterly billing saves 10% and annual billing 20% ($79.20 a month). AI and enrichment usage beyond the included tokens is billed separately.
Does Breakcold automate LinkedIn?
No. Breakcold's help center states it is not a LinkedIn automation tool: it syncs and organizes LinkedIn conversations, but it doesn't send invitations or messages automatically. Use a dedicated outreach tool for that, keeping in mind LinkedIn's own rules on automation.
Is there a Breakcold free trial or lifetime deal?
There is a 14-day free trial of the full plan. Breakcold's pricing page doesn't list any lifetime deal in October 2026, and it notes that existing paying customers keep their previous prices.
What is the best alternative to Breakcold?
For a light relationship CRM, folk is the closest match; for a flexible startup CRM, Attio; for a classic pipeline, Pipedrive; for an all-in-one suite, HubSpot. If you need to prospect on LinkedIn and email rather than manage existing conversations, choose an outreach tool such as useArtemis.
