A CRM that knows more than names
Every CRM promises a single view of the customer, then shows you notes about work happening elsewhere. Coordinator's contact page shows the real invoices, real projects, real meetings and real conversations — free, for unlimited users and unlimited contacts.
Free. No card. About two minutes to set up.
One page answers 'what's going on with this client?'
Money owed, work in flight, the next meeting, the last conversation, every file — on the contact, because it all lives in one system.
- People and companies, linked — real affiliations — see everyone at a company, and every company a person belongs to.
- Categories that work like you think — nested, colored, bulk-applied — by trade, region, source, anything — with tree filters and per-role fencing.
- Customer and vendor in one card — the same contact can owe you and be owed — both sides visible, both books straight.
- Ten channels per contact — multiple labeled emails, phones and addresses, plus websites and social profiles — validated, not free-text soup.
The conversation lives on the contact
Threads file under the client they're about. A form answer can update the contact and tag it 'hot lead' automatically. And a message becomes a task with one click — provenance attached.
- Broadcasts message many contacts as private 1:1 threads
- 'Waiting on a reply' flags nag you until they answer
- Intake forms create contacts with safe dedup — fill blanks, never overwrite
Your contacts can become participants
Give any client a no-password portal. And when a contact is another business on the network, they stop being a rolodex entry entirely: shared projects mirror into their workspace, and your invoice lands in their books.
CRMs charge per seat for a rolodex

Free CRM, without the asterisk
All of them. No seat pricing, no contact caps, no 'marketing contacts' meter. Your whole team works the same client list, governed by roles — including fencing staff to just the contact categories in their lane.
A normal CRM is a rolodex with notes — everything real happens in other tools. Here the contact page shows the actual invoices, the actual projects, the next meeting and every conversation, because they live in the same system. 'What's going on with Acme?' takes four seconds, not four tabs.
Yes — pipelines are staged work with owners, deadlines and templates, and each deal can carry its own checklist. When a deal closes, the delivery project can spin up automatically from the paid invoice.
Google Contacts import is built in (your local edits always win, with a duplicate-review page that never auto-merges), and CSV import handles the rest.
Connect your own mail server and invoices, reminders and messages send as you. Broadcasts message many contacts as private one-to-one threads whose replies aggregate back to one feed — and nobody charges you per 'marketing contact.'
None hiding in a tier table — there are no tiers. The CRM is one part of a free system that also runs your projects, scheduling and books, and it gets more useful as the businesses you work with join too.
