Four reasons sales teams choose HelloGrowthCRM over Copper CRM.
Copper only works inside Gmail and Google Calendar. HelloGrowthCRM works with any email client, phone system, and messaging tool your team uses.
Copper auto-fills contact details from Gmail. HelloGrowthCRM scores every lead by conversion probability and surfaces the ones most likely to close.
Copper requires external dialer integrations. HelloGrowthCRM has a native click-to-call dialer with recording, AI summaries, and voicemail drop.
Copper has no WhatsApp support. HelloGrowthCRM includes a full WhatsApp CRM inbox linked to your lead pipeline.

Export from Copper: Settings → Data → Export. Download People, Companies, and Opportunities as CSV files.
Import into HelloGrowthCRM: Leads → Import → Upload your Copper CSV. The import wizard maps Copper's standard fields (Name, Email, Phone, Stage, Pipeline) automatically.
Connect your email and set up sequences. HelloGrowthCRM works with Gmail, Outlook, and any IMAP/SMTP provider — your team isn't locked into Google.
Copper CRM is a good choice for teams that live entirely inside Google Workspace and need basic CRM features. If you've outgrown Gmail-only CRM, need AI lead scoring, a dialer, WhatsApp, or want to work across multiple email platforms, HelloGrowthCRM is the natural next step.
Why switch from Copper if it's already integrated with Google?
Copper's Google integration is its biggest advantage — and its biggest limitation. If your team uses anything outside Google (WhatsApp, a dialer, Outlook, Slack), Copper requires additional integrations. HelloGrowthCRM handles all of those natively.
Can I still use Gmail with HelloGrowthCRM?
Yes. HelloGrowthCRM integrates with Gmail for two-way email sync, thread history, and tracking. You keep all your Google email functionality without being limited to the Gmail sidebar.
How hard is migration from Copper?
Very straightforward. Export People, Companies, and Opportunities from Copper as CSV, import into HelloGrowthCRM using the import wizard (auto-maps Copper fields), and you're done. Most teams complete migration in under a day.
Does HelloGrowthCRM work better for non-Google teams?
Yes. HelloGrowthCRM is email-agnostic — it works with Gmail, Outlook 365, and any IMAP provider. If part of your team uses Outlook and part uses Gmail, HelloGrowthCRM handles both without separate setups.
Is HelloGrowthCRM more expensive than Copper?
Comparable base pricing, but HelloGrowthCRM includes features Copper charges extra for (or doesn't offer): built-in dialer, WhatsApp, AI scoring, and email sequences. For teams needing those features, the total cost is typically lower.
