Mesh, formerly Clay: connected relationship context
Mesh is the relationship manager formerly known as Clay. It brings contact details and updates together from connected accounts. If you already use it, focus on what you want to improve: keeping details current, remembering conversations, or following up. PersonalCRM is worth trying when you prefer to add your own context and manage contact intervals without connecting an inbox.
A complete address book or a deliberate relationship habit?
Both tools help you organize people and remember to reconnect. Mesh adds context from connected accounts; PersonalCRM starts with the contacts you add or import yourself. Pick a frequency for each, add the context you want to remember, and review your Home list when you have a moment. Importing an existing list is supported, but there is no requirement to connect an email account to begin.
Compare the limits that affect your real network
Mesh’s free contact allowance is larger than PersonalCRM’s free web allowance. That matters if you want to keep hundreds of contacts without paying. PersonalCRM Pro removes the web contact cap, and the lifetime option suits people who prefer a single payment. Think about whether you need one personal workspace or a team system before comparing subscription prices: PersonalCRM does not provide shared relationship intelligence for an organization.
Pricing: what you actually pay for
Mesh lists a free Personal plan for up to 1,000 contacts with a credit card required. It also offers a 14-day Pro trial and paid Pro and team plans. Check its pricing page for the selected billing period and current offers. PersonalCRM is free for 100 contacts on the web. Pro costs $4.99/month, $49.99/year, or $99.99 once for lifetime access. The API and MCP server are included in Free.
Prices quoted in USD. Billing periods, taxes, offers, and plan limits can change. Check the linked official pricing pages before subscribing. View PersonalCRM plans for our current plan details.
Moving your contacts to PersonalCRM
Keep a backup of your existing contacts and use an export available from Mesh or the original address book. Preview that file in PersonalCRM and check names, email addresses, and networks. A basic contact import does not recreate connected-account history or a shared team graph. Try the new routine with a small circle before moving the rest.
