Teamleader vs Lea CRM
Updated on July 28, 2026
Teamleader (Focus) is a management suite for SMBs: CRM, quotes and invoices, project and time tracking. Lea CRM is a focused sales CRM that opens onto today's commercial action. If your priority is selling, here is what Lea brings that Teamleader does not offer. Page refreshed as we ship.
In short
Lea CRM focuses on selling: it opens on your day, turns every meeting into a contact, deal and activity, turns the CRM into a calling machine and puts AI at your disposal on your own key, with no credits to buy. Teamleader covers a broader scope (management, invoicing, projects) where daily sales execution is less central.
What Lea CRM does on top
Your day, not a management tool
Lea opens on the list of what you have to do today: calls, follow-ups, meetings, deals to close, ranked by priority. Teamleader covers management (quotes, invoices, projects) where today's selling is not front and centre.
Scheduling that fills the CRM
Lea Schedule (the Calendly equivalent) is included from the entry plan, with unlimited meeting types: every booking automatically creates the contact, the deal and the activity, with a briefing before the meeting and round-robin distribution.
AI on your own key, no credits to buy
You plug in your own Claude or OpenAI key and pay the provider at cost: Lea does not resell credits and takes no margin. Email drafting, a briefing before every call, voice dictation after a meeting, call scoring.
A real calling machine
A call queue ranked by heat, overdue time, value and dormancy, an AI briefing per deal, one-gesture call outcomes that automatically reschedule the follow-up, and a shared calling pool where the deal is assigned to whoever calls first. Teamleader does not provide this outbound calling loop.
Follow-up sequences that stop by themselves
Schedule your follow-ups after a call: they stop on their own as soon as the prospect replies, unsubscribes or books a meeting, with a compliant unsubscribe link. Included in the Pro plan at €29/seat/month.
Calls recorded, transcribed and scored
Connect Aircall, Ringover or Onoff: the call log fills itself in, the record pops on ring, the recording is replayable inside the deal, and both the transcript and the call scoring are produced by your own AI key. Click-to-call is open on every plan.
LinkedIn, Sales Navigator, Malt and WhatsApp Web in one click
Lea's browser extension turns a LinkedIn profile, a WhatsApp Web conversation, a Malt message or a Gmail email into a deal, with a link back to the source. It is included on every plan, including the free one.
Prospect lists generated from the French business register
Pick an industry code, a geographic area and a headcount bracket: Lea builds the list of French companies and pours it into your lead pool, with no duplicate company IDs. Company records fill themselves in (legal name, registration number, headcount, address), with no list to buy.
Floor Mode, your team's TV screen
A full-screen board for the sales floor: goal of the day, meeting rate, live streaks, records, podium and celebration sounds. Native to the CRM, with no third-party gamification tool.
The CRM is driven from Claude
Lea exposes an official MCP server: you connect your account to Claude in one click and ask, in plain language, to create a deal, find a contact or prepare your day. It is included on every plan, including the free one.
A simple sales CRM, per seat
Lea is billed simply from €14/seat/month, and everything is designed for selling: pipelines, follow-ups, forecasts, 12 industry templates. Teamleader works with a base package plus per-user licenses, for a broader management suite.
Pricing
Lea CRM
Lea CRM: from €14/seat/month (annual)
Teamleader
Teamleader Focus: from €37.50/month (SMART package), then around €15/month per additional user
The models differ: Lea bills a sales CRM per seat; Teamleader bills a management suite package plus licenses. To sell, Lea stays focused and readable, with scheduling, leadership reports, the browser extension and the Claude connector included from the entry plan.
