The self-assembling AI CRM from Tome's founders, built to read email, calendar, and meetings instead of forms.

Visit websiteFrom $89/user/mo (Starter); workspace plans from $999/mo — pricing has changed repeatedly in 2026

The verdict

One of the most technically ambitious AI-native CRMs on the market, but the pricing has moved repeatedly in months and the current plans price out lean teams; worth watching, risky to commit to today.

Best for: Funded, AI-forward B2B SaaS teams with dedicated GTM headcount who can tolerate a still-settling product and price sheet — not solo operators or budget-constrained small teams.

AI-stack fit

80/100

Lightfield's own docs (docs.lightfield.app) describe an 'open platform' with direct HTTP access, Python/TypeScript/Go SDKs, a CLI, and an MCP quickstart for compatible clients (e.g. Claude), covering read/write access to every CRM record. Full agent-native architecture, though the docs and integration ecosystem are new and still thin compared to incumbent CRMs.

What's good

Genuinely schema-less capture: syncs email, calendar, meeting transcripts, and Slack into a queryable customer model without manual data entry, not just a marketing claim
Real developer surface for a CRM this young: documented REST API, Python/TS/Go SDKs, a CLI, and an MCP quickstart for agent clients
Backed by a $47M a16z-led Series A with a proven founding team (ex-Tome, 25M users), lowering the shutdown risk typical of a brand-new startup

What's not

Pricing has changed at least four times since mid-2026 across public sources (per-seat, then credit-based, now a hybrid per-seat/per-workspace model) — a red flag for any small team trying to budget a year out
The live plan structure splits 'capture seats' from unlimited viewer seats and charges $200/mo per extra capture seat, adding real complexity for a team that just wants a flat per-user price
Case studies and target logos (Stripe, Vercel, Ramp) skew toward funded, headcount-heavy SaaS companies, not the solo operators or bootstrapped small teams the 'AI-native CRM for startups' pitch implies
