The report card
Best for relationship tracking for deal teams
4Degrees is a relationship-intelligence CRM for private-market deal teams, with data capture from email and calendar. No price is published and the next step is a demo, and it isn't built for quota-based sales funnels.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No price is published; the vendor charges per user and quotes after a form request, so the cost is graded in the middle. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial is listed on the pricing page. The next step is a demo. |
| Features | C | Relationship intelligence, deal pipelines, automatic data capture, extensions, a Salesforce layer and an API. It is built for deal-driven firms, not general sales. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Connecting inboxes and data sources is part of the setup. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web plus browser extension, with PitchBook, Salesforce, Gmail, Outlook and Slack connections and an API with MCP. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who 4Degrees is for
- Fits if you track investors, founders and deals in a private-market firm
- Works for teams that want contacts filled from email and calendar
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want a price first, because none is published
- Not for you if you run quota-based sales, as it is built for deal teams
- Watch out: no free plan or trial is listed, only a demo
- Not for you if you want a general CRM, as it is narrow and built for deal firms
Good to know
Good for
- Venture capital and private equity firms sourcing deals through their own networks
- M&A, investment banking and consulting teams that want relationship scoring
Worth knowing
- No price is published: the vendor says it charges per user per month and quotes after a form request.
- No free plan or free trial is listed on the pricing page; the next step is a demo.
- It is built for deal-driven firms, not for sales teams managing quota-based funnels.
Part 02 · Pricing
What it costs

No price is published; the vendor charges per user and quotes after a form request, so the cost is graded in the middle.
We could not confirm 4Degrees’s current prices from its own site, so this guide lists no plans. 4degrees.ai has them.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Your call
A CRM at its plainest is a table of people and a board of deals.
You could make the core of 4Degrees for yourself: sales pipeline and reports. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Sales pipeline and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, PitchBook, Salesforce and Gmail among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. 4Degrees’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
