Why pplCRM

Built for relationships, not pipelines.

Most CRMs exist to move deals to “closed”. Your work never closes: the same people, the same streets, year after year. That one difference shapes everything below.

Built for the long game

A sales pipeline forgets a deal the day it closes. Your work compounds: this year’s case becomes next year’s volunteer becomes next cycle’s donor. pplCRM keeps that whole story on one record, however long you work the same streets.

Your list is yours

A supporter list is the most sensitive thing an organization owns. Yours is never sold, never shared and never mined, and it lives in Canada in a workspace no other organization touches. The exit is never locked either; export everything to plain CSV, on every plan.

Email that lands

On big email platforms your newsletter shares a sending reputation with thousands of strangers, including the spammers. Here you send from your own verified domain, so the reputation you build is yours alone. Warm-up limits and abuse guardrails keep spammers off the platform entirely.

How it works

Free to start. Yours to keep.

1
Create your free workspace

Sign up and land in a ready-made demo workspace: sample people and households, a live inbox, cut turfs and a donor ledger. No card.

2
Try everything on sample data

Triage a case, cut a turf, send a test newsletter, record a donation. Nothing is locked, and nothing you break is real.

3
Import your list when it clicks

Bring your spreadsheet. Duplicates merge automatically and the sample data steps aside.

What it does

Know your neighbours.

Not “contacts”. Not “leads”. People, with households, histories, and the issues they’ve told you about.

People & households

The Ramos family is one door, two voters and a sign request, and the system knows it.

A shared inbox & tasks

Connect Gmail or Outlook and mail flows both ways. Every message gets an owner and a due date, so nobody writes to your office twice about the same pothole.

Newsletters that land

Write once, send to the 1,284 people it’s actually for. An AI deliverability check scores every send before it leaves, so spam-filter surprises get caught while they’re still fixable.

Doors & the field

Cut turfs that never cross your riding’s boundary lines. The crew sees them on their phones — or on a printed walk sheet — and every knock syncs back live.

Donations, gratefully

611 donors, every gift on its donor’s record and receipted by email the moment it arrives — plus numbered official contribution receipts at year end when your regime allows them. Pledges and running totals without a second spreadsheet.

Your spreadsheet, welcomed

Bring the whole messy spreadsheet; duplicates merge on the way in. If you ever leave, everything leaves with you: plain-CSV export, on every plan.

Ridings, wards and districts

Every other tool assumes your race looks like theirs.

A Canadian tool asks for your riding and has never heard of a state house district. An American one asks for your ward and breaks on a federal riding. pplCRM asks what you are running for, then uses that word on every screen.

The network effect

Your list isn’t a list. It’s a network.

One supporter is never just one person. Behind every name is a household, a street, a workplace and a circle of friends. pplCRM remembers how your people connect, so one good conversation can carry to the next three.

See the web, not the spreadsheet

Households, workplaces, tags and shared causes tie your list together. pplCRM keeps every thread.

Warm paths beat cold lists

Reach new people through the neighbour who already knows you. An introduction opens doors a cold call never will.

Every touch sharpens the map

Visits, notes, gifts and RSVPs each add a datapoint. The longer you organize, the smarter your network gets.

Beyond the basics

Turn a list into momentum.

Web forms & automations

Publish a signup or pledge page in minutes; every response becomes a person on your list. Then automations send the welcome, add the tag and open the task while you sleep.

Events & volunteer shifts

Put an event online and open its shifts; volunteers claim them and land on the list already. No re-typing names off a signup sheet.

Online giving pages

Share a donation page and gifts land straight on the donor’s record — every one receipted by email the moment it arrives, and summed at year end into official tax receipts where your regime allows them. No third spreadsheet to reconcile.

One list, every campaign

Run this season and the next from one shared rolodex. Each campaign keeps its own supporters, mail and routes; admins decide who works in which, and the whole workspace follows.

Companion apps · iOS, Android and web

For the folks in the field.

Canvass companion

Fair questions.

Is the free plan really free?

Yes. No card and no time limit. The free plan stays free forever: 1,000 email subscribers, unlimited contacts and households, and 2 staff seats.

What is the demo workspace?

A ready-made sample workspace — realistic people and households, donors and a live inbox — so you can try every feature without touching real data. Every new workspace gets one, matched to the kind of organization you sign up as.

Can I import my existing list?

Yes. CSV import takes minutes and duplicates merge automatically on the way in.

Can I get my data back out?

Always. People, notes and donations export to plain CSV whenever you want.

Who owns the data?

You do. We never sell, share or rent it, and delete means deleted. Each organization runs in its own isolated workspace.

Where does my data live?

In Canada, isolated from every other organization’s workspace.

Will my newsletter land in spam?

You send from your own verified domain, so inbox providers judge you on your record, not a stranger’s. New Free-plan senders also warm up gradually under a daily cap, and unsubscribes are honored automatically.

How does pricing work?

Three plans: Free forever, Grassroots from $29/month and Movement from $55/month — or pay annually and get 2 months free. The price scales with your emailable subscribers, never your total contacts, so you can store your whole list for free and only pay for who you email.

Try everything before you trust us with a single name.

Your free workspace opens with sample people, households, turfs and a live inbox already in it. Cut a turf, send a test newsletter, break things. When it clicks, import your real list. No card, no time limit.
