Pipeline that moves itself
Drag-drop kanban with six stages. Smart lists that auto-update as prospects move. Saved filter sets you can name and pin. Bulk actions for everything. Stale-lead detection that flags accounts you forgot.
// DealArena
// FREE CRM. NO BULLSHIT. SHIPS WEEKLY.
DealArena is the free, gamified CRM for BDMs in staffing and SaaS sales. We consolidated 20+ subscription tools into one (pipeline, AI prospecting, market signals, outreach, gamification) and gave it away. The Pro tier ($19/mo) unlocks Claude-powered AI for power users.
Open source · Built in public · No credit card required
Built by Tyler Roper · closed $1.3M gross profit in contract revenue · 748% EBITDA YoY
// THE BDM TOOL TAX
The BDM tool tax
The average BDM stack costs $300+/month and most of it goes unused.
$90/user
HubSpot Sales Hub
$79/user
Apollo Pro
~$200/user
ZoomInfo SalesOS
= $369/user/month · $4,428/user/year
And you use maybe 30% of it. Most BDMs need a pipeline, contact data, and outreach. Everything else is enterprise bloat.
DealArena does the 30% you actually use. For free. With AI agents and gamification HubSpot will never give you.
// WHAT YOU GET
What you get
Signals before competitors
Free buy-signal feed pulling from SEC filings, news mentions, hiring announcements, funding rounds, and social activity. Daily hot list of accounts showing buying intent. No ZoomInfo subscription required.
XP, not subscriptions
Earn XP for every prospect added, every status change, every closed deal. Compete on a global leaderboard. Unlock badges. Track streaks. Sales work that doesn't feel like a chore tracker.
// AI THAT ACTUALLY HELPS
AI that actually helps
DealArena's AI isn't a chatbot bolted onto a CRM. It's a virtual BDM department.
Origin (our AI agent) handles four jobs:
- Researches signals on every account in your pipeline
- Drafts personalized outreach in your exact voice
- Runs scenario simulations ("what if this prospect ghosts, here are 3 pivots")
- Coaches new BDMs through onboarding and ongoing skill-building
The free tier uses Llama 3.3 70B (via Groq) for everyday AI features. The Pro tier ($19/mo) unlocks Claude-powered Origin agents for the heavy lifting.
Average extraction: 12 contacts per company website. 87% confidence on personal email format. 60-second onboarding for new accounts.

// WHY DEALARENA EXISTS
Why DealArena exists
The DealArena team built this CRM because the existing tools weren't built for the people who actually use them.
Salesforce was built for IT departments. HubSpot was built for marketers. Bullhorn was built for staffing-firm owners. Apollo was built for VCs.
None of them were built for the BDM grinding through 80 calls a day, the SDR managing 200 active prospects, or the founder doing their own outbound while shipping a product.
We built DealArena for that person. The free tier is fully functional because we believe the basic job of a CRM should never be paywalled. Pro and Enterprise tiers exist for power users who need AI agents, advanced signals, and elevated support, and they fund the platform's development for everyone else.
DealArena is a partnership: we ship the tool, you build the pipeline. We don't sell your data. We don't lock you in. We won't paywall the features that matter.
