Core CRM, mail merge, shared pipelines. No automations, no integrations, no advanced reports. $2,940 a year for five people.

Compare how AI
fits the sales workflow.
Streak publishes AI credit allowances by plan. SoftSync publishes monthly usage on its plans and connects ChatGPT or Claude through the connected workspace. The useful comparison is not a conversion between credits; it is whether AI helps with the records, conversations, meetings, and next actions your team works with.
From streak.com/pricing, read 10 September 2026. The two products count different things, so their AI credits are not converted into SoftSync usage. Streak also lists ChatGPT, Claude, and MCP among its integrations; compare the assistant connection and the context available in each workspace.

Why SoftSync wins beyond
Gmail.
Streak makes the inbox the CRM. SoftSync connects email to a dedicated customer workspace where records, meetings, flexible structure, AI, and follow-up remain usable beyond one inbox.
- Record capacity works with the whole sales process. Streak's pricing page says unlimited records in Pro, Pro+, and Enterprise. SoftSync Pro holds 250,000 records per table, Business holds 1,000,000, and Enterprise is available for custom requirements, alongside structured meetings, reports, AI, and follow-up.
- Email context is one part of the customer record. Streak attaches email history to deals and shares it across the team without manual filing. SoftSync connects email context while also giving the team a dedicated workspace for records, meetings, reports, AI, and follow-up.
- The sales day continues beyond the inbox. Streak keeps CRM work inside Gmail. SoftSync keeps customer work moving across a dedicated CRM, email, meetings, flexible records, reports, AI, and other sales tasks.
- SoftSync brings the full workflow into the first conversation. Streak's free tier provides email tools such as tracking, snippets, mail merge, and a thread splitter. SoftSync starts with the full customer workflow when the team needs records, meeting context, AI, and repeatable next actions together.
- The plan covers the work you actually run. Streak's pricing page promises no add-ons, required fees, or consultants. SoftSync's Pro, Business, and custom Enterprise options cover a broader connected sales workspace, so compare the operating surface rather than the seat line alone.
- A focused workspace keeps ownership with the sales team. Streak has a larger public customer footprint and review history. SoftSync is built so the people doing the selling can shape records, views, meetings, AI, and follow-up directly.
