A CRM for marketing teams that you own outright
Capture leads, track campaign sources, and hand off to sales in a CRM you buy once. No per-seat fees, no AI scoring you cannot audit, and your contact data stays on infrastructure you control.
The daily friction.
- Per-seat pricing means every marketer, ops hire, and contractor you add raises a bill that has nothing to do with results.
- Lead source and campaign attribution get muddy when the CRM was built for sales and bolted onto marketing as an afterthought.
- Contact data and consent records are a compliance liability when they live in a vendor's cloud you do not control.
How marketing teams run it day to day.
Capture leads with their source intact
Tag every contact with the campaign or channel that brought them in, so you can see which efforts actually produce pipeline, not just clicks.
Qualify before you hand off
Move a lead through your own qualification stages so sales receives contacts that are ready, with the campaign context attached to the record.
Keep one clean contact list
Deduplicate and tag contacts in a database you own, so segments stay accurate and you are not paying a vendor to host a messy list.
Hand off to sales without losing the trail
Reassign a qualified lead to a rep and every form fill, note, and source tag moves with it, so the first sales call is not a cold start.
Then bend it to exactly how you work.
The role setup is a head start, not a cage. Rename pipeline stages, add the fields your team actually fills in, build the views you check every morning, and wire up automations for the busywork. You own the source, so nothing is off-limits.
- Custom fields and record types
- Rename or add pipeline stages
- Saved views, filters, and automations
Questions, answered.
- No. The license is one-time, and you add the whole team, including ops and contractors, without a per-seat charge. Growing the team never changes the software cost.
- Yes. You own the source, so you add the fields and tags your funnel needs and report on which channels produce real pipeline, not vanity metrics.
- No, by design. There are no AI features at all. You define your own qualification rules, so the scoring is always logic your team can see and adjust.
- In your own Postgres database on infrastructure you control. Marketing contact lists carry real compliance weight, and with Nanobox they never sit in a shared vendor cloud.

Marketing needs source tracking, not a sales tool in disguise
Marketing and sales share a contact list, but they ask completely different questions of it. Sales wants to know which deal is closing this quarter. Marketing wants to know which channel, campaign, or piece of content actually produced that contact in the first place. Most CRMs answer the first question well and the second one badly, because they were built around the deal and treat the lead's origin as an optional field nobody fills in. The result is a marketing team flying on clicks and opens while the data that would prove ROI, the source of every real lead, lives somewhere fuzzy.
Nanobox CRM hands you the source, so you build the records around attribution. Tag every contact with the campaign or channel that created them, move leads through qualification stages you define, and report on which efforts turn into pipeline. When a lead is ready, reassign it to a rep and the source tag, the form fills, and your notes travel with it, so sales opens a record with context instead of a name and an email.
No per-seat tax, and no scoring you cannot audit
A modern marketing team is marketers plus ops plus the occasional contractor, and a per-seat CRM charges you for every one of them regardless of whether they touch a deal. Nanobox is a one-time license ($399 for a single domain, $1,999 for the Agency license), so the whole team works the same instance without a meter running. Hosted is a flat $29/month for everyone if you would rather not run the infrastructure, never per person.
There are no AI features anywhere in the product, which means no opaque lead score deciding which contacts deserve attention on math you cannot inspect. You write the qualification rules, you can read them, and you can change them when the funnel changes. Just as important, your contact list and its consent records, which carry genuine compliance weight, stay in a Postgres database you run rather than a vendor cloud you rent. See pricing for the full breakdown, or read about Hosted if you want the team live without standing up a server.
