The Real Difference
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Pipedrive stands out with Visual deal pipeline and Activity-based selling. Streak counters with Lives entirely inside Gmail and Shared pipelines.
Pipedrive's Achilles heel: marketing features are weak — no built-in email marketing, landing pages, or content management. 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 visual deal pipeline and sales-focused teams that want, go with Pipedrive. If solopreneurs and tiny teams matters more, Streak is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
