Replaced a $40,000 Salesforce contract with a Lovable CRM
What they did
Atonom, a company that sells AI agents as virtual employees, had its head of finance and legal build an internal CRM in Lovable with lead capture, a pipeline dashboard and ARR tracking, connected to its AI sales agent and to Slack alerts.
How it went
Atonom says the CRM costs about $1,200 a year including hosting, against roughly $40,000 a year for Salesforce for 25 to 30 users, and that a working prototype existed within about three hours (self-reported).
Worth knowing
Vendor-published story: one person maintains the tool in spare time, it lacks many features of Salesforce or HubSpot, and the page gives no total build time or detail on how much was done by hand.
Try it yourself with Lovable
Replace anything in [brackets] with your details.
Act as a product builder. I want an internal CRM for [team size] people that replaces [current tool]. It needs: a lead capture form, opportunity stages [list the stages], ARR/MRR tracking, weighted pipeline value, a dashboard for [roles], and a Slack alert when a new lead arrives.
First ask me up to five questions. Then propose the data model and the three screens we will use every day, and build a first version. Read the original
