What Attio does

Attio is a CRM founded in 2019 in London by Nicolas Sharp and Alexander Christie. Before Attio, the two had built CRM software for investment teams.

It is built to be reshaped. You define your own objects and fields, such as companies, deals, users or whatever your business tracks, instead of fitting into fixed screens.

AI is central to its pitch. It syncs email and calls, enriches records on its own and offers agents for research and outreach. That makes it popular with modern software teams, and a poorer match for people who just want a plain contact list.

Setup and learning curve

You can start on the free plan within an hour. Designing objects and workflows well takes a day or two of thought.

Prices show in your local currency where a company lists them. Tools without a local price stay in USD, so do not compare those rows number for number.

Entry prices are for the cheapest paid plan and use each company's own billing basis (annual or monthly, local currency), so compare them as a guide, not a quote.
