When noCRM.io remains a good choice

noCRM.io remains a relevant choice in several situations:

A very small sales team (1 to 3 people) that wants an ultra-simple tool to track leads without the complexity of a full CRM.
An independent salesperson or a solo founder at the pre-revenue stage who wants a minimalist tool at a very low cost.
A team that rejects the very idea of a classic CRM and wants a tool centred on sales action rather than on reporting and data.
A usage focused almost entirely on leads with no need for advanced enrichment, sophisticated sequences or structured ICP search.

When Charik is the right choice

Charik was designed for B2B SMEs and mid-sized companies that want a consolidated CRM, without stacking three or four subscriptions. Here are the cases where Charik naturally positions itself better than noCRM.io:

A team prospecting in France. Company enrichment (SIREN, SIRET, NAF code, headcount, executives) is native and included in Charik Pro, with no separate subscription to a data tool such as Pappers Pro, Kompass or Société.com.
A team that wants readable pricing. From €17 excl. VAT per user per month for Charik, €58 for Charik Pro with French company data, with no credits that run out, no modules to switch on, and no mandatory call with a sales rep to get a quote. The full pricing fits on one page.
A team that needs multiple relationships between records. Charik lets you link a contact to another contact, a company to another company, a deal to another deal. This architecture is rare and particularly useful for law firms, investment funds, recruitment agencies and B2B agencies.
A team that wants its data hosted in France. Strict GDPR compliance, no Cloud Act exposure, compliant with the requirements of a public tender or a French industrial SME.
A team that wants to connect its invoicing to Pennylane. The Charik / Pennylane connector is native. Quotes are created in Charik, invoices are issued in Pennylane, and the accounting export is automatic.
A team that wants to start within 7 days, no credit card. The Charik free trial lasts 7 days, with no credit card, up to 10 users and 100 contacts/companies/deals to test in real conditions.

Pricing: what you really pay

noCRM.io and Charik are not really in the same product category. Public 2026 price comparison:

Charik: €17 excl. VAT per user per month (annual billing) or €25 monthly, complete sales CRM; Charik Pro at €58 excl. VAT per user per month adds French company enrichment, ICP search, public tenders and sales signals.
noCRM.io Starter Kit: around €12-14/user/month, basic lead tracking.
noCRM.io Expert: around €26-29/user/month, adds advanced features (sequences, integrations, statistics).

noCRM.io looks cheaper at first glance because its functional scope is deliberately narrower. For a team that wants minimalist lead tracking and accepts keeping its enrichment, marketing tools and data elsewhere, noCRM.io is competitive. For a team that wants to consolidate CRM, French company enrichment, advanced sequences, ICP search and public tenders in a single tool, Charik brings together what noCRM.io requires you to combine with other building blocks.

Features: what is included by default

noCRM.io and Charik are deliberately different in their functional ambition:

Simple lead tracking: noCRM.io excels in this area, with an interface centred on sales action. Charik also covers lead tracking, within a broader CRM framework.
Native French company enrichment: SIREN, SIRET, NAF code and executives are filled in automatically in Charik Pro. noCRM.io offers no equivalent.
Multi-relationship architecture: Charik lets you link records of the same type. noCRM.io stays on a simple lead → opportunity model.
Advanced ICP search and public tenders: Charik Pro includes these features. noCRM.io does not cover them.
Sales signals and daily AI: Charik prioritisation indicators. noCRM.io has no equivalent.
Native Pennylane connection: Charik integrates Pennylane through a native connector. noCRM.io requires third-party middleware.
Reporting: Charik offers native sales reporting (pipeline, forecasts, conversion rates). noCRM.io has basic statistics on its higher plans.

Data and hosting: the French dimension

For a sales team prospecting French companies, access to official public data is a structural issue. Charik Pro natively integrates the INSEE (SIRENE) registry, INPI and French public sources, with no additional subscription.

SIREN / SIRET: retrieved automatically from the company name or its website.
NAF code, headcount, revenue, legal form, executives: automatic enrichment on the company record.
Hosting in France: servers in France, GDPR compliance, no Cloud Act exposure, usable to respond to public tenders.

noCRM.io is a French company, but without native integration of the SIRENE and INPI registries. For a team prospecting French companies, the lack of automatic SIREN/SIRET means manual entry or a third-party tool (Pappers, Société.com, Kompass).

Migrating from noCRM.io to Charik

Migrating from noCRM.io to Charik is straightforward because noCRM.io allows a full CSV export:

noCRM.io export: from the settings, export leads and opportunities in CSV format.
Preparation: noCRM.io has a light data model (leads, contacts, companies, opportunities). Mapping to Charik is direct.
Charik import: guided CSV import. noCRM.io opportunities map to Charik deals.
Automatic enrichment: on import, Charik Pro automatically retrieves the missing SIREN/SIRET numbers for French companies.

For a team of 2 to 5 salespeople, allow 2 to 5 working days.

How to decide between the two

The decision grid comes down to a few concrete questions:

How many sales users are in your team? If the answer is between 2 and 50, Charik is sized for you.
How many of your prospects are French companies? If the majority, native French enrichment changes daily productivity.
Do you already need to pay for a company data tool (Pappers, Kompass, Société, Dropcontact, Kaspr) on top of your current CRM? If so, Charik consolidates both.
Does your invoicing go through Pennylane or an equivalent French tool? The native Charik / Pennylane connection avoids a custom integration.
Is hosting in France mandatory for your customers (public sector, healthcare, finance)? The criterion becomes a blocker for a non-European CRM.

If you answer yes to at least three of these questions, Charik deserves a trial. If you are an international scale-up with a team spread across five countries and advanced marketing integrations on ten channels, noCRM.io remains a good choice.

Frequently asked questions about choosing Charik vs noCRM.io

noCRM.io is simpler than Charik, is that an advantage?

For a team of 1 to 3 people that just wants to track leads, the simplicity of noCRM.io is a real asset. For a team scaling beyond 3 salespeople that wants to consolidate enrichment, sequences, reporting and invoicing, the gap in functional depth becomes a blocker.

Is Charik more expensive than noCRM.io?

Not necessarily: Charik starts at €17 excl. VAT per user per month, within the noCRM.io range of €12-29. Charik Pro at €58 is more expensive on paper, but at equivalent functional scope (adding an enrichment tool such as Pappers, a sequencing tool such as Lemlist, and so on), it brings together what noCRM.io requires you to stack.

Can you migrate your noCRM.io data to Charik?

Yes. noCRM.io allows a full CSV export. Charik imports with guided mapping and, on Charik Pro, automatically enriches missing company records on import.

Is Charik as French as noCRM.io?

Both are French companies with servers in France. Charik goes further on the integration of French public company data (SIREN, SIRET, INSEE, INPI), which is native in Charik Pro, whereas noCRM.io remains a sales-tracking tool without structured enrichment.

For a solopreneur, is noCRM.io not better suited than Charik?

For purely individual, minimalist use, noCRM.io can be enough. For a B2B solopreneur who wants to prospect seriously with ICP search, company enrichment and automatic sequences, Charik brings together features that are usually scattered.

Is the Charik pipeline as visual as the noCRM.io one?

Yes. The Charik pipeline is a drag-and-drop kanban showing amounts per stage with automatic forecast calculation. The learning curve is similar.
