The Real Difference
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Insightly stands out with Project management post-sale and Relationship linking. Streak counters with Lives entirely inside Gmail and Pipeline views in inbox.
Insightly's Achilles heel: the ui feels like 2015 — functional but clunky, and reporting takes too many clicks. Streak's: gmail-only means you’re locked in — plus the free plan is extremely limited on pipeline features. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Bottom Line
If you value project management post-sale and small businesses that want, go with Insightly. If solopreneurs and tiny teams matters more, Streak is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
