Skarbe
AI sales CRM alternative
Inbox-native CRM alternative that auto-logged deals for closers
Reviewed by The Desk · Last verified July 2026
“Skarbe had a genuinely good idea — an invisible, inbox-native CRM that logged deals and drafted follow-ups so founders never had to touch a pipeline board — but the company wound down all operations in April 2026, so it can no longer be signed up for or used. Worth studying as a reference for the zero-input CRM concept; not a product you can adopt today.”
Skip it ifIt is defunct — Skarbe shut down in April 2026, so there is nothing to sign up for or migrate to. Even while live it lacked deep pipeline reporting, forecasting and multi-rep team management, and started at a steep $95/month for its solo/SMB audience.
What it is
Skarbe was an AI sales assistant that pitched itself as an "invisible CRM." Instead of asking closers to log activity, it watched their email and calendar and captured deals, contacts and next steps automatically. Its AI teammate, Oskar, drafted follow-ups in the user's own voice, produced meeting-prep briefs and post-call summaries, and maintained a prioritized to-do list so deals did not go cold. The core bet was that solo founders and small teams hate CRM data entry, and that removing it entirely was worth more than a rich pipeline UI.
In practice it sat closest to lightweight, inbox-native tools rather than a full CRM. It connected to Gmail, Google Calendar, Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams and could run alongside HubSpot or Pipedrive, but it was thin on deep pipeline reporting, forecasting and multi-rep team administration. Pricing started at $95/month (Pro) and climbed to $175 (Max) and $500 (Max 5x) — steep for the solo-and-SMB audience it targeted. Founded by Mikita Martynau and Alex Talyuk, the company raised a $600K pre-seed in 2025 (led by FIRSTPICK) and claimed a few thousand users across 100+ languages.
The decisive fact for anyone evaluating it today: Skarbe wound down all operations in April 2026, and skarbe.com now serves only a farewell notice. There is nothing to sign up for and no migration path. It remains a useful reference point for the zero-input CRM idea, but as a product to adopt it no longer exists.

- Its AI teammate Oskar drafted follow-ups and meeting briefs in your own voice, killing most sales busywork
- Simple enough that CRM-averse founders actually kept using it
The catch

- Entry pricing started at $95/month, expensive for the solo founders and small teams it courted
- Light on deep pipeline analytics, forecasting and multi-rep team management compared with a real CRM
