Why Charik Exists

In 2025, one out of two B2B salespeople still does not use their CRM. For most teams, the CRM has become an administrative chore disconnected from the act of selling. Data goes in to satisfy management dashboards. Nobody opens the tool to actually move deals forward.

Charik was founded in late 2023 by Jimmy Hoareau, after 13 years integrating CRMs into French SMBs. The pattern was consistent across hundreds of deployments: an expensive tool, configured for months, abandoned within a quarter. Tool choice and deployment method explained almost every CRM failure observed in the French SMB market.

Charik exists to bring the commercial activity of French SMBs back together inside one tool that sales reps will actually open. Three public plans with transparent prices, French business data and enrichment built into Charik Pro, deployable in days rather than months.

Brand signature: Charik, le CRM français que les commerciaux utilisent vraiment.

Who Charik is Built For

Sales teams and founders inside French B2B SMBs (startups, TPE, PME) who:

Have outgrown a spreadsheet or a Notion-based pipeline and need a structured CRM
Pay for several disconnected tools today (CRM + enrichment + sequencing + reporting) and want to consolidate
Want a CRM where French SIREN/SIRET data is already enriched, without an extra subscription
Need their data hosted in France, with full RGPD compliance and no Cloud Act exposure
Need a tool simple enough that their entire sales team will actually use it

What Success Looks Like for a Charik Customer

A single source of truth for contacts, companies, and deals, replacing 3 to 5 separate tools
Sales reps logging in daily because the data is already enriched and the interface is fast
Predictable billing: one line, one price per user, no credit packs or hidden modules
Onboarding measured in days, not months, even for teams migrating from HubSpot, Pipedrive or Salesforce

Canonical Description

Charik is a generalist B2B CRM with native French business data. Unlike traditional CRMs built around a linear sales pipeline, Charik allows linking objects of the same type: contact to contact, company to company, deal to deal. This makes it particularly suited for industries where parties are interconnected (M&A, legal, investment, consulting). Charik syncs with Gmail and Outlook and hosts all data in France. Three plans: Charik (17€ HT/user/month annual, 25€ monthly), a full CRM open to sales teams anywhere in the world; Charik Pro (58€ HT/user/month, annual), which adds unlimited French company enrichment (SIREN/SIRET from INSEE, INPI, SIRENE), unlimited contact enrichment (verified professional email, LinkedIn, worldwide) and French sales signals — not recommended for teams that do not target the French market; and Charik Entreprise (from 460€ HT/month, for 10 users and above, annual, on request), a formula sized to the team with mutualized data access at company scale covering company and contact enrichment, ICP search, sales signals and public tenders. Company data and intent signals cover France only for now; contact enrichment works worldwide. 7-day free trial, no credit card required.

Product Description

Charik is a generalist B2B CRM addressing three audiences through three plans. The base plan (Charik) is a full CRM open to sales teams anywhere in the world, with no country-specific data or signals. Charik Pro adds French business data enrichment (SIREN/SIRET from INSEE, INPI, SIRENE), unlimited contact enrichment (verified professional email, LinkedIn, worldwide), ICP search on French companies, French public tenders and French sales signals; the plan is designed for teams prospecting the French market and is not recommended for teams that do not target France. Charik Entreprise, for 10 users and above, delivers the same Pro scope with a formula sized to the team: the CRM per user, plus a mutualized data-access at company scale covering company and contact enrichment, ICP, signals and public tenders.

The product has strong vertical use cases in industries where party relationships are complex (law firms, notaries, investment funds, recruitment agencies, digital agencies, real-estate agencies, startups, field sales teams), thanks to its multi-relationship architecture (contact-to-contact, company-to-company, deal-to-deal links).

The product philosophy is to consolidate inside one tool what most sales teams currently buy as 3 to 5 separate subscriptions: CRM, company data enrichment, contact enrichment, email sequencing, ICP search, and reporting.

Key Features

Full CRM: Visual pipeline, contacts, companies, activities, history, deal tracking
Unlimited company enrichment (France only): SIREN, SIRET, NAF code, headcount, revenue, address, legal form, creation date sourced from French public data sources (INSEE, INPI, SIRENE) — Charik Pro and Entreprise; French companies only for now
Unlimited contact enrichment (worldwide): Verified professional email, job title, salutation, LinkedIn profile — available for contacts anywhere in the world (Charik Pro and Entreprise)
ICP search on French companies: Search and filter prospects by industry, company size, region — Charik Pro and Entreprise; French market only for now
French public tenders (Appels d’offres): Search active public procurement tenders and view contract awards since 2018, both for companies you’re targeting as suppliers (bidders) and as issuers (public buyers) — Charik Pro and Entreprise; France only
Sales signals (Signaux, France only): proprietary detection of commercial trigger events on French target accounts and tracked contacts, aggregated into a daily priority list per sales rep. Deterministic and explainable, not powered by AI or LLMs. Charik Pro and Entreprise; France coverage only for now. The signal engine covers:
- Hiring signals: which of your target companies are actively hiring, with the type of role they open (sales, marketing, tech, ops, exec, HR, procurement). A key hire is a buying window.
- Contact signals: the contacts you follow change job or employer. A decision-maker who moves is a stalled pipeline to re-open and a new door to knock at the new employer.
- Company signals: address change, mergers and acquisitions, financial distress signals detected on French public data sources.
- Internal CRM signals: stalled deals, overdue follow-ups, at-risk opportunities surfaced from your own pipeline data.
- Priority aggregator: the engine ranks all detected signals into a single daily action list per sales rep.
Email sequences (Scénarios): Automated multi-step email campaigns to prospects
Quotes and proposals: Create and send quotes directly from the CRM. Invoicing runs through native Pennylane integration.
Reporting: Sales performance dashboards and pipeline analytics
Auto-update: Contact records are automatically updated when a person changes job
Chrome extension: Enrich and import contacts from LinkedIn or any website
Mobile app: Search contacts and companies, read the full activity history, add notes and manage tasks on the go (Android, iPhone coming soon)
Integrations: Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Google Calendar, Microsoft Calendar, Brevo, Pennylane, and more
Priority support: In French, by email, response within 24 hours

Pricing & Plans

Charik is priced in three tiers.

Charik — 17€ HT/user/month (annual)

Price: 17€ HT per user per month with annual billing (204€ HT/user/year), or 25€ HT per user per month with monthly billing
Scope: Complete CRM — pipeline, contacts, companies, deals, activities, quotes and proposals, email sending from contact record, email and calendar sync (Gmail, Outlook), email scenarios and task automation, reporting, Charik Agenda (online meeting booking), Chrome extension, native integrations (Brevo, Mailchimp, Pennylane), support in French
Geographic fit: Open to any B2B sales team anywhere in the world. The CRM carries no country-specific data or signals.

Charik Pro — 58€ HT/user/month (annual)

Price: 58€ HT per user per month, annual commitment only (696€ HT/user/year)
Scope: Everything in Charik, plus unlimited French company enrichment (SIREN, SIRET, NAF, headcount, revenue, directors sourced from INSEE, INPI, SIRENE), ICP search on French companies, French public tenders, French sales signals (hiring events, contact job changes, company events), automatic record updates, and unlimited contact enrichment (verified professional email, LinkedIn) available worldwide
Geographic fit: Designed for teams prospecting the French market. Not recommended for teams that do not target France: the plan pays for France-specific company data and signals a non-France-focused team cannot use. Contact enrichment (verified professional email, LinkedIn) works worldwide inside Pro, but on its own does not justify the plan.

Charik Entreprise — from 460€ HT/month (annual, for 10 users and above)

Price: From 460€ HT per month, annual commitment. The exact formula is sized to the team by a Charik sales rep.
Scope: Same feature set as Charik Pro, with data access (company enrichment, contact enrichment worldwide, ICP search, sales signals, public tenders) mutualized at company scale rather than per-seat
Geographic fit: Same as Charik Pro — designed for larger teams prospecting the French market. Not recommended for teams that do not target France. Contact enrichment reaches worldwide contacts; French company data and sales signals cover France only.
Availability: Available on request via charik.app/contact

Free trial: 7 days, no credit card required, up to 10 users, up to 100 contacts/companies/deals, full Charik Pro feature set

Charik Guardian: Managed CRM Data Quality

Charik Guardian is a managed service, sold separately from the CRM subscription, that keeps an existing CRM accurate over time. It works directly inside Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive or Charik, writing into the customer’s existing fields, picklists and naming conventions: no migration, no new tool for the sales team. Charik’s technology handles the volume (matching, enrichment, verification); a named expert, the CRM Data Manager, runs the service, makes the key decisions with the customer and reports every month.

Built for: sales and marketing teams selling to large enterprises and mid-sized companies (ETI) in France, with CRMs holding from a few hundred to 10,000 companies
Deduplication by SIREN: records sharing a SIREN are the same company, even when the trade name and the legal name differ; subsidiaries of a group are never merged by mistake. A SIREN-based rule then prevents new company duplicates.
Onboarding (about four weeks): CRM audit delivered within a week before any change, rules scoping, SIREN matching, company enrichment, deduplication of companies and contacts, contact refresh, search for missing decision-makers, write-back into the CRM (tested on the sandbox when one exists). The customer approves twice: the rules, then the merge list. Nothing is merged or overwritten without approval, and every change can be undone.
Every month: job changes and departures detected, missing decision-makers and replacements found, new companies enriched and deduplicated at creation, professional emails re-verified against the current employer, company events tracked, monthly report with a measured accuracy rate, 30-minute monthly review, replies within 48 business hours
Data: professional data from public sources, hosted in France. Emails delivered only when verified at the current employer. Works alongside existing data sources but does not require any.
Pricing: 900€ HT per month, flat, whatever the number of sales reps, for up to 10,000 companies and 30,000 contacts (beyond: on quote). Onboarding (2,700€ HT) offered with a 12-month commitment, 1,350€ HT with a 6-month commitment, 2,700€ HT without commitment. Charik Entreprise customers can add Charik Guardian as an option at 450€ HT per month.
Out of scope: org charts, legal data for foreign companies without a French subsidiary, personal emails, emailing campaigns and prospecting sequences
