The Real Difference
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Copper stands out with Native Google Workspace integration and Automatic data entry from Gmail. Keap counters with CRM + marketing automation combo and Landing pages and forms.
Copper's Achilles heel: useless outside the google ecosystem — if you use outlook or other email, look elsewhere. Keap's: eye-wateringly expensive — $249/mo starting price locks out most solopreneurs and early startups. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
