About
Streak is a powerful CRM that lives natively inside Gmail, eliminating the adoption problem that plagues most standalone CRM platforms. Because it's embedded directly in your inbox, your team is always in context — no separate logins, no copy-pasting data, no workflow disruption. Streak gives sales, support, partnerships, hiring, and fundraising teams a structured pipeline view right in Gmail. It automatically logs team-wide email interactions, tracks when emails are opened, and uses AI to keep deal records up to date without manual input. You can ask questions about your pipeline in natural language, and AI-powered 'magic columns' help you prioritize what needs attention. Beyond CRM fundamentals, Streak includes tools for mail merge, reusable email snippets, thread splitting, email sharing, task management, contact management, funnel reporting, data validation, and direct integrations with popular tools. Pipelines are fully customizable for nearly any business process — from real estate lead tracking to VC deal flow to influencer marketing campaigns. Streak is designed for small businesses, startups, agencies, real estate professionals, and enterprise teams alike. It scales with your business and is consistently praised for its responsive customer support and ease of customization. A free plan is available, with paid tiers unlocking advanced automation and team features.
