# Copper Copper plan prices and contact limits, Google Workspace fit, calling through integrations and export routes for a small team that lives in Gmail. Canonical page: https://quillwell.com/guides/software/copper/ Updated 2026-11-08 · The author works at Close. Publisher: Quillwell Guides (https://quillwell.com/guides/about/). Editorial standards: https://quillwell.com/guides/editorial/ ## The short answer - Copper fits a team that sells from Gmail. [Copper’s pricing](https://www.copper.com/pricing) lists Basic at $23, Professional at $59 and Business at $99 per seat per month when paid annually, or $29, $69 and $134 on monthly billing. - Calling comes through an integration: [Copper’s RingCentral guide](https://support.copper.com/en/articles/8823439-ringcentral-integration) supports calls in the web app on Professional or Business. A team that sells by phone should compare that route with Close, where calling is built into every plan. - Contact limits set the plan: [Copper’s pricing](https://www.copper.com/pricing) allows 2,500 contacts on Basic, 15,000 on Professional and unlimited on Business. ## Plans and what caps them [Copper’s pricing](https://www.copper.com/pricing) prices Basic at $29 per seat per month on monthly billing or $23 paid annually, Professional at $69 or $59, and Business at $134 or $99. Basic includes task automation, pipelines and contact enrichment with a 2,500-contact limit; Professional raises the limit to 15,000 and adds workflow automation; Business is unlimited and adds email series. [Copper’s automation guide](https://support.copper.com/en/articles/8879978-best-practices-for-email-automation) lets Professional customers send a single automated email and Business customers up to 7, with a company limit of 900 automated emails a day, sent only through Gmail. Copper advises against using it for cold outbound. ## Built around Gmail [Copper’s Gmail guide](https://support.copper.com/en/articles/8823283-working-with-the-gmail-integration) activates Gmail synchronization on a Gmail signup, and Outlook users associate emails by BCC. [Copper’s bulk email guide](https://support.copper.com/en/articles/8823288-sending-bulk-emails) sends bulk email from within Copper through that sync, and [Copper’s mobile guide](https://support.copper.com/en/articles/9888152-using-the-copper-mobile-app-android-ios) lets the Android app log calls or texts to contacts automatically. ## Calling through RingCentral [Copper’s RingCentral guide](https://support.copper.com/en/articles/8823439-ringcentral-integration) supports calls in the Copper web app with notes during the call, and requires an active Professional or Business subscription with admin access. That is a workable route for occasional calls. For a team whose day is calls, [the Close guide](https://quillwell.com/guides/software/close/) describes a dialer in the CRM instead. ## Permissions, reports and exports [Copper’s permissions guide](https://support.copper.com/en/articles/8823343-team-visibility-permissions) offers Me Only and Record Owner Only visibility on all plans and team visibility on Professional and Business.

[Copper’s migration guide](https://support.copper.com/en/articles/8823354-export-your-data-from-another-crm-or-service) starts from an export of the previous system split into companies, people, opportunities and leads. ## How to compare the alternatives Copper appears in the [lightweight CRM guide](https://quillwell.com/guides/crm-for-small-sales-teams/), the [outbound sales guide](https://quillwell.com/guides/outbound-sales-crm/) and [Pipedrive alternatives](https://quillwell.com/guides/compare/pipedrive-alternatives/).
