Network marketers have a weird relationship with CRMs. The tools built for them are usually either oversimplified toys or re-skinned enterprise software designed for a completely different job. The tools built for "real" salespeople (Hubspot, Salesforce) have features you'll never use and cost more than your monthly commission check. And most network marketers end up cobbling together a mess of spreadsheets, notes apps, and group chats because no single tool actually fits.
This guide is an honest comparison of seven tools that network marketers actually use in 2026, with plain-English recommendations for which one might actually work for you. Disclosure up front: we build one of them (LTE). We still put ourselves in the comparison honestly.
What "best" actually means for a network marketer
Before we get to the tools, let's define what we're even looking for. The CRM features that matter in corporate sales - pipeline stages, deal amounts, automated sequences - are mostly irrelevant to network marketing. What matters instead:
- Daily action list - who do I reach out to today without planning for 30 minutes?
- Contact notes that travel - where do I store "her daughter has eczema" so I can find it next week?
- Multi-company support - what if I work with 2+ brands?
- Data ownership - if I leave this tool, can I take my contacts with me?
- Mobile-first - does it work from my phone between school pickups?
- Price - does it cost less than a Netflix subscription?
The best tool is the one that nails the most of these without adding complexity you'll never use. With that in mind, here are the seven options.
1. Teamzy
The most popular tool built specifically for network marketers. Around 150K users, decade-old, consistent marketing. Daily action list is the core feature - it tells you who to "ping" each day based on a relationship rhythm you set.
Good for: Network marketers who want structured daily prompts and don't mind a slightly dated interface. The relationship-based nudging is the feature everyone copies.
Not great for: Anyone who wants a modern mobile-first experience. Multi-company partners - Teamzy is built around one brand at a time. People who care about data export.
Price: ~$29.99/month USD. Reasonable for what it does.
Bottom line: Works if you're single-brand, want something opinionated, and don't need to feel like you're using a 2026-era app.
2. Penny
The freemium contender. Penny's claim to fame is a free tier that lets you manage up to 5 contacts - essentially a trial. Clean interface, decent basics. Their messaging around data ownership is one of the better ones in the space.
Good for: Partners just starting out who want to try a network marketing CRM without paying. The onboarding is gentle.
Not great for: Anyone serious. The 5-contact free limit is essentially marketing, not a real tier. The paid version is solid but not differentiated from Teamzy.
Price: Free for 5 contacts, ~$6.99/month for unlimited.
Bottom line: Fine starter tool. Most users outgrow it within a few months.
3. Traktivity
The hobbyist-built option. A smaller, simpler tool with a cult following among certain NWM communities. Focuses on goal tracking and daily habits more than contact management.
Good for: Partners who respond to gamification and "activity points." The habit-loop framing is motivating for a specific audience.
Not great for: Anyone whose business is really about relationships rather than activity metrics. The tool can feel like it's tracking you more than helping your contacts.
Price: ~$9.99/month.
Bottom line: Good if the gamification clicks for you. Confusing if it doesn't.
4. Pamtree
Free, crowd-funded, and currently wind-down. Pamtree built a loyal following with a genuinely free offering, but announced in 2025 that the project couldn't sustain itself. Current users are in the middle of a migration phase.
Good for: Nobody, right now. The company is effectively closing.
Not great for: Anyone who wants a stable home for their business data. Actively migrate off.
Price: Was free. The "free CRM for network marketers" pitch turned out to be unsustainable.
Bottom line: This is a cautionary tale about free network marketing tools. We mention it here to make the point: your CRM shouldn't rely on someone else's goodwill to survive. That's the whole problem with company back offices too. Move your contacts somewhere that has a business model.
5. Hubspot (free tier)
The enterprise CRM everyone has heard of. Hubspot's free tier is genuinely generous - you can track unlimited contacts, log interactions, and send limited email campaigns without paying.
Good for: Network marketers who are comfortable with "real" business tools and want something enterprise-grade. Data ownership is solid - Hubspot's export is good.
Not great for: Almost everyone in NWM. The interface is built for sales teams managing deal pipelines, not for women prospecting between school runs. Most features you pay for are ones you'll never use.
Price: Free tier is usable. Paid tiers start around $20/month and climb fast.
Bottom line: Hubspot is good software, poorly matched to network marketing. Using it is like driving a Tesla to the school car park - impressive but overkill.
6. Notion
The DIY option. Not actually a CRM, but a big chunk of network marketers use Notion databases as one. You can build your own contact system with custom fields, notes, reminders, and even a daily action view.
Good for: Technical users who love building their own systems. The flexibility is enormous. Data ownership is excellent - Notion exports to Markdown and CSV.
Not great for: Anyone who doesn't want to become a Notion power user to make it work. The blank page problem is real - you spend more time designing your database than using it.
Price: Free tier is enough for personal use. $10/month for more.
Bottom line: A good choice if you're genuinely technical and want total control. A bad choice if you want to open an app and have it tell you what to do.
7. LTE (LeadTrackEngine)
The one we built. We're biased, obviously. But we built it because none of the above were quite right for what we actually needed, and we figured others were probably in the same boat.
Good for:
- Mums who work on their phones, between everything else
- Partners running more than one network marketing company at the same time
- Anyone who's been burned by a company shutdown and wants guaranteed data export
- Women who want a warm, simple interface - not something designed for a bro at a desk
- People who want "open the app, see the list, do the list" without planning sessions
Not great for:
- Enterprise sales teams (go use Hubspot)
- People who want 600 advanced features
- Users who don't use iOS at all and never plan to (iOS-first, web companion)
Price: 14-day free trial of Pro, then auto-converts to Pro monthly. Leader plan adds shared tools for network leaders. See the pricing page for current local amounts (we auto-detect your country).
Bottom line: If you're building a personal brand in network marketing, own your data, and want the simplest thing that actually works, we'd love you to try us. If you're running a Fortune 500 sales team, please don't.
The honest recommendation matrix
Here's the quick-and-dirty version if you don't want to read all seven profiles:
| If you are... | Consider... |
|---|---|
| A mum building in stolen moments, single brand | LTE or Teamzy |
| A multi-company partner | LTE (only one that does it well) |
| A team leader with 10+ partners | LTE Leader plan |
| A tinkerer who loves building systems | Notion |
| Just curious and want to test without paying | Penny or LTE's 14-day trial |
| Motivated by gamification | Traktivity |
| Comfortable with enterprise tools | Hubspot (free tier) |
The question to ask yourself before choosing any of them
Before you pick a tool, answer this: if I leave this tool in two years, can I walk away with every contact, note, and interaction in a format I can still use?
For Teamzy - mostly yes, but exports aren't instant.
For Penny - yes, decent export.
For Traktivity - limited.
For Pamtree - no, and that's why it's dying.
For Hubspot - yes.
For Notion - yes.
For LTE - yes, one tap.
Whatever you pick, make sure the answer isn't "no." Your contacts are your real business, and no tool should hold them hostage.
The 3-minute test
Try every tool on this list that sounds interesting. Spend three minutes each. The one you can figure out in three minutes, on your phone, without watching a tutorial video - that's your winner.
The bottom line
The "best CRM" for a network marketer is the one that fits how you actually work. If you're a bro at a desk, Hubspot. If you're a mum on a couch with a toddler climbing you, probably not Hubspot. If you love building systems, Notion. If you want something to just tell you what to do every day, something purpose-built for NWM.
We think LTE is the best option for a specific audience: women building personal brands in network marketing, who want simple over powerful, ownership over lock-in, and mobile-first over desktop-heavy. If that's you, come join the waitlist. If it's not, one of the other six might be. All of them are better than trying to run a business out of a notes app and a group chat.
LTE is built from the ground up for network marketers who care about owning their business. See current pricing or join the waitlist for early access.
