Best for a CRM for manufacturers tied to ERP orders
Spiro captures customer activity automatically and shows ERP orders next to it, aimed at manufacturers in North America. A full seat is $1,500 a user a year, add-ons and org-wide modules cost extra, and setup is sold separately from $5,000. The vendor says it is not for teams under 10.
Who Spiro is for
- Fits if you run a manufacturer with an ERP and a sales team of 10 or more
- Works for sales teams that would rather not type in call and email notes
Who Spiro is not for
- Not for you if you are under 10 people, a non-manufacturer or outside North America, as the vendor itself says
- Pricey if you add it up: $1,500 a seat, plus modules and $5,000-plus setup
- Watch out: the phone app, notetaker and routes are extra per user
- Skip it if you need a trial, since none is offered

Keep Spiro, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Spiro you would be making newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 114 of the 116 other CRM tools grade higher. It costs $500 a year.
What you could make
- Sales pipeline, quotes and estimates and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Spiro’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.
