Built for Individual Operators

The CRM a solo operator can actually run their whole business out of.

A freelancer, an independent consultant, a solo real estate agent, a one-person agency runs a 60-contact pipeline, a 20-item follow-up queue, three active engagements, and a monthly invoicing cycle. Most CRMs are either enterprise overkill or free trials that cap you at 100 contacts the week your business starts to work. Strkr is a $19 a month full workspace built for the operator who is the only seat.

What this audience is actually dealing with

The pains that bring buyers here.

A solo operator does not run a scaled-down version of an enterprise sales team. The motion is different: the pipeline is narrower but the stakes per deal are higher, the follow-up window is longer because the buyer is often a referral who takes six months to come back, the admin layer has to be fast because there is nobody else to do it, and the mobile experience actually matters because half the business happens from a car, a client site, or a coffee shop. The CRMs on the market mostly fall into two broken buckets. The free tiers (HubSpot Free, Zoho Free, Bitrix24 Free, Streak) cap contacts, lock the integrations that matter behind paid tiers, and force an upgrade decision the week the business actually starts to work. The enterprise CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot Professional, Pipedrive) carry an admin surface and a pricing model designed for a 30-seat team, not for the one-person operator who needs the full picture without a weekend of configuration. The result is a solo operator running three tabs: a free CRM with the top of the funnel, a spreadsheet with the active engagements, and a text thread with the follow-up queue. Strkr is built for that operator from the first clean install. One seat, a full workspace with every module live, pricing that does not cliff at the hundred-contact mark, mobile that actually works, and the native integrations with email and calendar wired on day one. The pains below show up on every solo operator buyer call we have run, and they are the pains that make freelancers and consultants quit their current CRM every eighteen months.

Free CRMs cap you fast

The free tier caps at the exact moment the business starts working.

A freelancer imports 85 contacts into a free CRM and starts to see traction. The business grows, the contact list hits 115, and the free tier locks the import, caps the automations, or demands an upgrade to a Professional tier that costs more than the operator revenue per month. The hundred-contact cliff is a tax on the exact moment a solo operator can least afford a 300 a month CRM bill, and the migration cost of switching tools six months in is a weekend the operator does not have.

Enterprise CRMs are too much

The enterprise CRM demands a weekend of configuration before the first contact lands.

A consultant tries a mid-tier CRM subscription and spends the first weekend configuring custom fields, pipeline stages, permission settings, and integrations that assume a sales ops person is doing the work. By the time the configuration is done, the free trial is half over and the consultant has not sent a single outreach. Solo operators need a workspace that works on install, not a configuration project that takes longer than the actual business planning did.

Spreadsheets fall apart at 100 contacts

A Google Sheet works for 50 contacts and breaks at 150.

A solo real estate agent runs the referral pipeline out of a spreadsheet. For the first 50 contacts the sheet is fine. At 100 the follow-up tracking starts to miss. At 150 the agent is losing deals because the follow-up queue is now a column of highlighted rows nobody actually looks at. Spreadsheets do not understand pipeline stage transitions, do not fire follow-up reminders, do not sync email, and do not have a mobile view that works from a parking lot.

No mobile that works

Half the business happens from a phone and the CRM mobile is a web wrapper.

A solo operator spends half the business week on the road: client meetings, site visits, networking events, coffee chats. The CRM mobile has to let the operator log a conversation in 20 seconds, edit a pipeline stage, dash off a follow-up task, and sync when the car rolls into cell coverage. Most CRM mobile apps are web wrappers that time out, cannot edit records offline, and treat voice notes as a feature from a future quarter.

Lose track of follow-ups

The follow-up queue is in three tabs and nothing fires on time.

A consultant has 15 active prospects in various stages of a long sales cycle. Follow-up schedules live in a text thread with themselves, a notes app, and a mental model. Prospects drop off because the follow-up window closed quietly, deals go cold at the exact moment a quick nudge would have kept them warm, and the operator realises three weeks later they forgot to send the proposal to the prospect who was ready to buy.

Email and calendar sync broken

The email in Gmail does not match the activity in the CRM.

A freelancer sends an email from Gmail, logs the conversation in the CRM an hour later, and the two systems drift. Scheduled meetings in Google Calendar do not surface against the right contact, email threads with the prospect are invisible on the CRM record, and the operator spends 20 minutes a day reconciling the two systems. Email and calendar sync is the single most important integration for a solo operator and most CRMs treat it as an afterthought.

How Strkr works for one seat

A full workspace, no premium tier gate, no hundred-contact cliff.

Strkr for an individual operator is not a stripped-down version of the enterprise product and it is not a free tier that caps at the first sign of growth. It is the full workspace at a $19 per month starter price with every module live from the first install: contacts, pipeline, Flows, email sync, calendar sync, Flows for the follow-up grind, mobile-first with offline queue, and native integrations that do not require a middleware fee. The primitives below ship on day one and they are the ones a solo operator spends 80 percent of their business week inside. Nothing is held back behind a Professional or Enterprise tier because the solo operator is not the right customer for a tiered pricing model that assumes a sales ops team is going to upgrade them in six months.

Contacts without a cap

The contact book grows with the business, not against it.

The $19 starter tier includes 2,500 contacts, which is more than most solo operators accumulate in the first three years. Growth beyond that lands on a usage-based line, not a tier upgrade. The hundred-contact cliff that free CRMs enforce does not exist in Strkr, so the operator imports the whole address book on day one and starts working against the actual relationship history instead of a filtered subset.

Pipeline that works on install

Four default stages and 30 seconds to customise.

The default pipeline ships with four stages (Discovery, Proposal, Negotiation, Closed) that cover 90 percent of solo motions. The admin surface lets the operator rename, reorder, add, or remove stages in 30 seconds without a configuration project. A freelancer or consultant lands on the workspace and starts tracking deals before the second cup of coffee.

Email sync day one

Gmail and Outlook sync wired on install, no middleware.

The Gmail and Outlook integrations wire on install with OAuth. Every email sent and received against a tracked contact lands on the contact timeline automatically. The operator sees the full thread history on the record without copying anything into the CRM, and the drift between the inbox and the pipeline that kills most solo CRMs disappears from day one.

Calendar sync day one

Scheduled meetings land on the contact record automatically.

Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar sync on install, so every scheduled meeting with a tracked contact surfaces on the record with the subject, the attendees, and the time. The operator sees the full meeting history on the contact without manually logging anything, and the week-ahead view surfaces upcoming meetings grouped by pipeline stage so the day planning writes itself.

Mobile that actually works

Offline queue, voice notes, SMS, 20-second log.

Strkr mobile is a native app with offline queue, voice-note capture, SMS send and receive, pipeline edit, and 20-second conversation logging. A solo operator walking out of a client site logs the conversation on the phone before starting the car, bumps the pipeline stage, and the sync happens when the phone reconnects to signal. Mobile is the primary interface for the solo operator, not an afterthought.

Flows for the follow-up grind

Follow-up reminders fire on the right cadence without configuration.

Strkr Flows cover the follow-up patterns every solo operator needs: proposal sent then no response in 5 days fires a nudge, discovery call completed fires a 48-hour follow-up with the summary, long-stage dormant deal (14+ days in Negotiation) fires a check-in, and quarterly touchpoint on dormant contacts keeps the referral network warm. The Flows ship as templates on install with sensible defaults for the solo motion.

Flat $19 starter

Pricing that does not cliff at the moment of growth.

The starter tier is $19 per month for a full workspace with 1 seat, 2,500 contacts, all modules live, native email and calendar sync, mobile app, and the full Flows surface. The next tier up adds additional seats and advanced analytics for the operator who scales to a small team. The pricing does not punish growth and does not demand a tier upgrade the week the business works.

The solo operator day

A workspace built around the real motion of running the business alone.

A solo operator day does not look like an enterprise sales rep day. The morning is coffee and the follow-up queue, the midday is client meetings and site visits, the afternoon is proposal writing and admin, and the evening is a quick phone session catching up on the pipeline before the next morning starts. The CRM has to work in each of those modes without the operator fighting the interface. Strkr is built so the morning follow-up queue is one tab, the midday mobile is one swipe, the afternoon proposal is linked to the right contact, and the evening phone session is a fast scroll through the pipeline. The patterns below are what a Strkr solo operator runs in week two of the rollout and they are the patterns that make the business feel manageable instead of frantic.

Morning follow-up queue

Open the workspace, see what needs doing today.

The morning view surfaces the follow-up queue grouped by priority: overdue tasks, follow-ups due today, scheduled meetings, and new emails since yesterday. The operator clears the queue in 20 minutes with inline actions (send the follow-up email, bump the pipeline stage, log a call summary, snooze to a date). The day starts with a clean picture, not a mental scan of three different tabs.

Midday mobile capture

Log a client conversation in 20 seconds from the parking lot.

A client meeting ends, the operator walks out, opens the mobile app, taps the contact, records a voice note with the key points, bumps the pipeline stage if the conversation moved it, and schedules the next follow-up with a swipe. The whole capture takes under a minute and the record is complete before the operator starts the car. The alternative is scribbling on a notepad and reconstructing the conversation at 9pm.

Proposal workflow

Proposal lives on the record, not in a disconnected tab.

When a deal moves to Proposal stage, the Strkr workflow surfaces a proposal task with the contact context, the discovery notes, and a link to the proposal document (stored in Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox via native integration). The proposal lives on the contact record with the send date, the view-tracking (if the integration supports it), and the follow-up reminder scheduled 5 days out.

Evening pipeline review

A 10-minute phone session covers the whole pipeline.

The evening pipeline review on mobile scrolls through the active deals grouped by stage, surfaces anything stale, lets the operator add a note or bump a stage with a swipe, and ends with the next morning queue pre-planned. The whole review takes 10 minutes and leaves the operator with a clear picture before shutting the laptop for the night.

Networking event capture

Add a contact from a business card in 15 seconds.

At a networking event, the operator takes a photo of a business card on the mobile app, Strkr AI extracts the name, company, title, email, and phone, and the contact lands on the workspace tagged with the event and a 48-hour follow-up task. The alternative is a stack of business cards on the desk that never gets entered into the CRM and the networking investment that converts at zero.

Monthly invoicing cycle

Active engagements with billing status on one view.

A solo operator runs 3 to 8 active engagements at any time. The engagement view puts every active client on one row with scope, invoice sent, invoice paid, and open hours or deliverables. The monthly invoicing cycle takes 20 minutes with the view driving the Stripe or QuickBooks or FreshBooks invoice through the native integration, and the cash flow picture lives on the dashboard instead of in a separate billing tool.

Quarterly referral refresh

Keep the referral network warm without feeling spammy.

A solo operator lives on referrals. The quarterly referral refresh Flow fires a personalised check-in to every dormant contact tagged as a referral source, with a 2-sentence update on current work and a soft ask for anyone the operator can help. The Flow uses Strkr AI to personalise the message based on the last conversation, so the outreach feels human and the referral network stays warm without a weekly content calendar.

Integrations that just work

Native connections for the tools solo operators already run.

A solo operator is already running Gmail or Outlook, Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar, Stripe or QuickBooks or FreshBooks for invoicing, Google Drive or Dropbox for proposals and contracts, Zoom or Google Meet for client calls, and maybe LinkedIn Sales Navigator for prospecting. The CRM has to connect to those tools without a middleware subscription, without a developer, and without a webhook configuration project. Strkr ships native integrations for the tools solo operators actually use, with OAuth setup that takes 90 seconds per integration and no premium tier gate on the integration surface. The patterns below are what wire up in the first hour of the rollout and they are the integrations that make the workspace feel like a complete business operating system instead of a lonely contact list.

Gmail and Outlook

Email sync bidirectional, no middleware fee.

The Gmail and Outlook integrations wire on install with OAuth. Email sends from either side land on the contact record with the full thread history. The operator composes inside Gmail or Outlook with the full Strkr context in the sidebar, and the record stays in sync without a middleware layer or a webhook orchestration service.

Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar

Scheduled meetings land on the contact record automatically.

Calendar sync wires on install with OAuth. Every scheduled meeting with a tracked contact surfaces on the record and on the pipeline view, and the week-ahead planning draws from the actual calendar instead of a separate CRM-only meeting log. Scheduled holds, cancellations, and reschedules all sync both ways in real time.

Stripe for invoicing

Invoice from the engagement record without a tab switch.

The Stripe native integration lets the operator issue an invoice from the engagement record with the client, the amount, the line items, and the due date pre-populated. The invoice status (sent, viewed, paid, overdue) syncs back to the engagement record, and the cash flow dashboard reads the actual Stripe data instead of a manual re-entry.

QuickBooks and FreshBooks

For operators running accounting outside Stripe.

The QuickBooks and FreshBooks native integrations handle invoicing for operators running their accounting outside Stripe. The invoice issues from the engagement record, the status syncs back, and the end-of-year accounting export runs clean because the Strkr record and the accounting system agree on the single source of truth.

Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox

Proposals and contracts linked on the contact timeline.

The document storage integrations link proposals, contracts, SOWs, and deliverable files on the contact and engagement timelines. The operator opens the latest proposal from the record without hunting through folder structures, and the version history stays with the record so the right document surfaces when the client comes back three months later.

Zoom and Google Meet

Meeting links auto-generate and recordings land on the record.

When a meeting schedules against a contact, the Zoom or Google Meet integration auto-generates the meeting link and attaches it to the calendar event. After the meeting, the recording and the transcript land on the contact record for later reference, and Strkr AI can summarise the transcript into the key points and action items without the operator having to re-watch the recording.

LinkedIn and open API

For prospecting workflows and custom integrations.

The LinkedIn integration surfaces profile data and connection paths on the contact record. For solo operators running custom workflows (SMS platforms, scheduling tools, project management apps), the open API handles the long tail without a middleware fee. The native integrations cover 90 percent of solo operator needs and the API covers the rest.

Flows that cover the solo motion

Automations that make the business run without feeling scaled.

The best solo operators are the ones who build quiet automations that cover the follow-up patterns so the hours go to client conversations and deliverable work. Strkr Flows handle the dozen automations every solo operator should run, and each one ships as a template with sensible defaults on install. No webhook configuration, no middleware subscription, no vendor professional services engagement. The pattern below is what shows up in week one of every solo operator deployment and it is the pattern that quietly compounds into higher conversion, stronger referrals, and fewer dropped follow-ups.

Proposal follow-up

Proposal sent and no response in 5 days fires a nudge.

When a proposal moves to sent status and no email reply lands within 5 business days, a Flow fires a nudge email with Strkr AI drafting a short personalised check-in based on the proposal content. The operator approves the send in one tap or edits before sending. Proposals stop going dark because the operator forgot the follow-up window.

Discovery call summary

Call ends and a 48-hour follow-up fires with the summary.

When a discovery call completes (via calendar event or manual log), a Flow drafts the follow-up email with the key points from the call notes, the next step, and a scheduled 48-hour send. The operator reviews and approves, and the prospect gets the recap while the conversation is fresh instead of three days later when the energy has faded.

Stale deal check-in

Deal dormant 14 days in a mid-funnel stage fires a check-in.

When a deal sits 14 days in a mid-funnel stage (Discovery, Proposal, Negotiation) without activity, a Flow fires a check-in email with a soft touch and a question about where the prospect is in their process. Dormant deals get rescued before they die quietly, and the pipeline stays honest without the operator having to scan for stalled deals every Monday.

Quarterly referral refresh

Dormant referral contacts get a personalised check-in each quarter.

A quarterly Flow fires a personalised check-in to every contact tagged as a referral source who has not had a touchpoint in 90 days. Strkr AI drafts the message based on the last conversation context, and the operator reviews the batch in 15 minutes before approving the sends. The referral network stays warm without a weekly content calendar or a feeling of spammy outreach.

Networking event follow-up

New contact from an event gets a 48-hour follow-up.

When a new contact lands tagged with an event (networking night, conference, meetup), a Flow fires a 48-hour follow-up email with Strkr AI drafting a short personalised note referencing the event and the conversation. The networking investment converts because the follow-up fires on the right cadence, not because the operator remembered three weeks later.

Invoice overdue reminder

Invoice overdue 7 days fires a soft reminder.

When a Stripe or QuickBooks invoice crosses 7 days overdue, a Flow fires a soft reminder email with the invoice link and a one-sentence note. If the invoice crosses 21 days a second escalation fires with a firmer tone. Cash flow stays on track without the operator having to monitor the aging receivable column manually.

Birthday and anniversary

Personal touches that keep the relationship human.

A Flow fires a personal note on each tracked contact birthday and client anniversary, with Strkr AI drafting a short custom message based on the relationship history. The personal touches are what differentiate a solo operator from a scaled competitor, and the Flow handles them without the operator having to maintain a separate calendar.

What the solo operator sees

Dashboards that answer the three questions that matter.

A solo operator does not need 20 dashboards and a reporting backlog. They need three answers every morning: what is in my pipeline, what do I need to do today, and how is the business doing this month. Strkr surfaces those answers on default views that work on install, with the mobile versions tuned for a 10-minute morning scan. The dashboards below ship on day one and the operator can duplicate and personalise them without an admin ticket. The result is a workspace that feels like a quiet operating system for the business instead of a dumping ground for contact rows.

Pipeline at a glance

Every deal on one board with stage, value, and days-in-stage.

The default pipeline board shows every active deal grouped by stage with the value, the contact, and the days-in-stage visible on the card. The operator scans the whole pipeline in 30 seconds, drags deals between stages inline, and spots stalled deals by the days-in-stage badge. The alternative is a spreadsheet with 15 columns that nobody can read on a phone.

Today queue

Everything that needs doing today in one list.

The today queue surfaces every task, follow-up, scheduled meeting, and overdue item for the current day with inline actions to complete, snooze, or reschedule. The operator clears the queue in 20 minutes with no tab switching, and the next-day planning writes itself from the stale items that could not be cleared.

Monthly revenue

Invoiced, paid, pipeline-weighted on one dashboard.

The monthly revenue dashboard shows invoiced revenue, paid revenue, outstanding receivables, and weighted pipeline for the current month and the trailing three months. The operator sees the cash flow picture in one glance, catches overdue invoices before they stack, and reads the pipeline trajectory against the monthly revenue target.

Active engagements

Every client on one row with scope, invoice, and status.

The active engagements view puts every current client on one row with the scope summary, the next milestone, the invoice status, and the open hours or deliverables. The operator sees the client portfolio in one glance and spots any engagement at risk (overdue milestone, dormant conversation, pending invoice) before the client has to raise it.

Follow-up conversion

Which follow-ups are converting and which are not.

The follow-up conversion view surfaces the win rate by follow-up type (proposal nudge, discovery recap, stale deal check-in) with trend over trailing 90 days. The operator sees which patterns are working and tunes the Flow templates against the real conversion data instead of guessing. Follow-up strategy becomes data-driven for a one-person operation.

Referral source analytics

Which referral sources actually convert.

The referral source view surfaces every contact tagged as a referral source with the number of referrals sent, the conversion rate, and the revenue attributed. The operator spots the top 10 referral sources and invests the quarterly outreach where the referrals actually convert, instead of spreading effort across a hundred contacts that never send business.

Head-to-head

Strkr for individuals vs HubSpot Free plus spreadsheets.

Most solo operators try to run their business on HubSpot Free (or Zoho Free, Bitrix24 Free, Streak) plus a spreadsheet for the parts the free tier does not cover plus a text thread for follow-ups. The pattern breaks the moment the contact book hits 100, the moment a Flow needs to fire outside the free tier limits, or the moment the operator realises the free CRM is pushing them toward a Professional tier that costs more than their monthly revenue. Strkr is the full workspace at the price point free-tier users were already paying in spreadsheet hours and dropped follow-ups.

How teams use Strkr

How solo operators run Strkr.

The patterns below show up across freelancers, consultants, solo real estate agents, and one-person agencies in the first six months of a Strkr rollout. The common thread: use the full workspace from day one, wire the native integrations in the first hour, let the Flows handle the follow-up grind, and run the morning queue plus the midday mobile plus the evening review as the three fixed habits of the business week. Each playbook is a real motion a Strkr solo operator runs today, not a hypothetical.

Freelance consultant

B2B consulting with a 6-month sales cycle.

An independent management consultant runs a 40-contact pipeline with 6-month average sales cycles. Strkr Flows handle the stale deal check-ins at 14-day intervals, the quarterly referral refresh keeps 80 past clients warm, and the proposal follow-up nudge covers the 5-day post-send window. The consultant moved from HubSpot Free plus three spreadsheets to Strkr starter and recovered an estimated 6 hours a week previously spent on CRM reconciliation.

Solo real estate agent

Residential referral book with 200 active contacts.

A solo residential real estate agent runs a 200-contact referral book with buyers, sellers, past clients, and sphere-of-influence contacts. The mobile-first Strkr workspace covers the on-the-road capture (showings, open houses, drive-bys), the quarterly referral refresh keeps the sphere engaged, and the Flows handle the birthday and anniversary touches that drive 60 percent of the agent book. The agent moved off a free CRM that capped at 100 contacts.

Independent designer

Project-based design with recurring retainer clients.

A solo UX designer runs 5 active retainer clients plus 10 to 15 project leads in the pipeline. Strkr engagement records track the retainer scope, monthly invoicing cycle, and open deliverables. The pipeline manages the project leads with a custom stage model (Scope Call, Proposal, Signed, Kickoff), and the proposal follow-up Flow covers the 5-day window. The designer runs the whole business from Strkr plus Figma plus Google Drive without a middleware subscription.

One-person agency

Boutique marketing agency with 8 recurring clients.

A one-person marketing agency runs 8 recurring clients plus a prospect pipeline of 12 to 20 leads. The Strkr workspace handles the client engagement records (scope, retainer, monthly deliverables), the prospect pipeline (Discovery, Proposal, Negotiation, Closed), the monthly invoicing cycle through the Stripe integration, and the Flows for the follow-up grind. The agency owner stopped paying for HubSpot Starter plus a separate project tool plus a billing tool and consolidated to Strkr.

Executive coach

Private practice with long referral cycles and private client care.

A solo executive coach runs 20 active clients plus a referral pipeline of 10 to 15 prospects with 3 to 9 month typical sales cycles. The Strkr workspace handles the private client records (confidential notes, session scheduling, invoice tracking), the referral pipeline, and the quarterly refresh touches that keep the referral network warm. HIPAA compliant (BAA available) covered the private practice requirements, and the mobile-first design let the coach run the business from the client office or the home studio.

Common questions

What buyers in this bucket ask most.

What is the actual starting price and what is included?

Strkr starter is $19 per month for a 1-seat full workspace. Included: 2,500 contacts, unlimited pipeline deals, all core modules (contacts, pipeline, Flows, engagements, documents, reporting), native email sync with Gmail and Outlook, native calendar sync with Google and Outlook, full Flows surface for automations, mobile app with offline queue and voice notes, 50+ native integrations with the common solo-operator tools, Strkr AI for drafting follow-ups and summarising calls, and the open API for custom integrations. There is no premium tier gate on the integration surface or the Flows surface, and the contact cap only increases as the operator grows the book past 2,500.

Can I actually run my whole business from Strkr or will I still need other tools?

A solo operator can run contacts, pipeline, follow-ups, engagements, invoicing (via Stripe, QuickBooks, or FreshBooks native integration), proposals and contracts (via Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox native integration), meeting scheduling (via Zoom or Google Meet integration), and client communication (via Gmail or Outlook sync) all from Strkr. The common tools a solo operator still runs separately: the actual deliverable work (Figma for design, VS Code for development, Google Docs for writing), accounting beyond invoicing (full books in QuickBooks or Xero), and specialised vertical tools (MLS for real estate, specific research tools for consulting). Strkr covers the business operating surface. The deliverable tools remain the deliverable tools.

How does the native email and calendar sync actually work?

The Gmail and Outlook integrations wire with OAuth on install (90 seconds each). Email sends and receives against tracked contacts land on the contact timeline automatically with full thread history. The operator composes inside Gmail or Outlook with the Strkr context in the sidebar extension, or composes inside Strkr with the send going through the connected inbox. Calendar sync wires the same way: Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar integrations handle bidirectional sync, so scheduled meetings land on the contact record and the pipeline view. Scheduled holds, cancellations, and reschedules sync in real time. The alternative pattern most CRMs use (BCC-logging into the CRM) is not required.

What happens when I grow the business and want to add a team member?

Adding a second seat moves the workspace to the team tier (currently $29 per seat per month). All data, contacts, deals, Flows, engagements, and integrations carry forward without a migration. The new seat gets its own user record with role-based permissions configurable from the admin surface. For most solo operators the first team member is a virtual assistant handling admin tasks or an operations hire taking over the follow-up queue, and the role templates ship with sensible defaults for both patterns. The upgrade is a self-serve billing change, not a re-platforming project.

Is my data safe and portable if I decide to leave?

Strkr is SOC 2 Type II in progress through 2026-Q4, GDPR + CCPA compliant, and HIPAA compliant (BAA available) for operators handling private client data (executive coaches, consultants in regulated industries, healthcare-adjacent professionals). Data is encrypted at rest and in transit. For export, the full workspace exports on demand as a CSV bundle (contacts, deals, engagements, activities, documents) and the open API provides programmatic export for custom migrations. Portability is a first-class feature, not a hidden escape hatch, because solo operators have been burned too many times by CRMs that make switching painful.

How does Strkr AI help a solo operator and what does it cost extra?

Strkr AI is included in the $19 starter tier with no additional cost. The capabilities relevant to solo operators: drafts personalised follow-up emails based on the contact context and the conversation history, summarises Zoom and Google Meet transcripts into key points and action items, extracts contact details from business card photos on mobile, drafts quarterly referral refresh messages tailored to each contact relationship, and suggests pipeline stage transitions based on activity signal. All AI drafting is opt-in with the operator reviewing and approving before any send. The AI does not autonomously send client communications unless the operator explicitly enables that for a specific Flow.
