Retire five subscriptions. Keep one that does it all.
A data tool, a sender, a warmup tool, a CRM, a sequencer — none of them talk, and together they cost more than GRID. One platform runs the entire outbound motion for one flat $1,000 per month.
The stack tax is real — and it isn’t just money
Every tool boundary is a place where a lead goes quiet and a deal dies. Here’s what changes when the motion lives in one place.
- Five invoices, five logins, five renewal dates nobody tracks
- Leads exported from the data tool, imported to the sender, re-imported to the CRM
- A hot reply sits in the sender’s inbox while the CRM still says “Emailed”
- The sequencer keeps chasing a lead who booked a call yesterday
- Onboarding a new rep means five accounts and a week of “how do these connect?”
- One invoice: $1,000 flat, unlimited seats, everything included
- Prospected leads land in the pipeline deduped, enriched and tagged — no CSVs
- Replies hit one unified inbox and update the lead’s stage instantly
- Sequences stop themselves the moment someone replies or books
- New reps get one login and are working the pipeline in an afternoon
Every tool you retire makes the pipeline smarter
When prospecting, sending, replies and calls share one database, the pipeline stops being a diary your reps forget to update. A send moves a lead to Emailed. A reply moves it to Replied. A booked call moves it to Booked. Nobody types anything.
- Stages update themselves: Prospected → Emailed → Replied → Booked → Won
- KPIs on one screen: total leads, pipeline value, average deal size
- Filter by category, value, source, assigned rep or status
- A £48k pipeline you can actually trust in the Monday meeting
Replies stop falling between tools
The most expensive failure in a five-tool stack is a reply nobody sees. GRID threads every conversation — email, SMS, WhatsApp, calls — under the lead it belongs to, notifies the team, and puts an AI draft one click away.
- All / WhatsApp / SMS / Email / Calls in one threaded view
- Admins and managers notified the moment a lead responds
- AI Draft trained on your offer, ready when you are
- Start a sequence or a call without leaving the thread
Add up what the five tools cost. Then stop paying it.
These are typical mid-market prices for a five-person team. Yours may be worse — per-seat pricing usually is.
- Lead data / enrichment platform$300/mo
- Cold email sender$100/mo
- Inbox warmup tool$50/mo
- CRM at 5 seats$400/mo
- Sequencer / follow-up tool$150/mo
- Booking / scheduling tool$60/mo
- Your stack≈ $1,060/mo+
Unlimited seats. No per-contact tax. No per-tool sprawl. Scraping, sending, inbox, calls, funnels and books — in one platform.
A 5-tool stack vs GRID
It isn’t just cheaper. It’s connected — and connected is what closes.
| GRID | 5-tool stack | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly cost (5-person team) | $1,000 flat | $1,000+ and climbing |
| Cost when the team doubles | $1,000 — unchanged | Per-seat fees double |
| Logins to manage | 1 | 5–6 |
| Data flow between steps | Automatic | CSV exports and Zapier |
| Reply updates the pipeline | ||
| Sequence stops on booked call | Only if synced | |
| One suppression list everywhere | ||
| Invoicing and payouts included | ||
| New rep ready to sell | Same afternoon | Up to a week |
Everything the stack did — under one roof
Each of these used to be a separate subscription. Now they share one database and one price.
Prospecting
Scrapers for Google Maps, search, X, Instagram, Apollo and websites. Leads auto-import deduped and enriched.
Warmed sending
Campaigns send through Instantly with warmed mailboxes and domain rotation. Warmup is built in, not bolted on.
Unified inbox
Email, SMS, WhatsApp and calls threaded per lead, with AI drafts and team notifications.
Sequences
Day 1 → Day 3 → Day 7 follow-up that stops itself on reply or booked meeting.
Pipeline
New / Hot / Contacted / Qualified stages that update from real activity, not memory.
Accounting
Deals close and the books update — invoices, VAT, commissions and rep payouts included.
When it’s one system, the numbers finally agree
No more reconciling the sender’s stats against the CRM’s. Sends, replies, bookings and revenue reported from a single source of truth.
“We cancelled four subscriptions in the first month. The surprise wasn’t the saving — it was watching a reply move a lead to Qualified without anyone touching a keyboard. Our old stack never once did that.”
