# YouSpot vs. Attio: Your relationships. Your knowledge. Put them to work.

> Attio is a strong CRM for revenue teams, with plenty of AI. YouSpot is for one person: it reads your Gmail and calendar and tells you who's gone quiet.

## The short version

- **YouSpot:** Your people, their context and AI, for one person
- **Attio:** A flexible CRM with AI, built for a sales team

Attio gives a sales team a CRM they can shape, with AI agents and automations, priced per member. YouSpot is for one person: it builds your list from Gmail and Google Calendar and answers who's gone quiet in plain English.

## Attio runs a sales team. YouSpot keeps one person's network warm.

Both read your inbox, and both have AI you can talk to. They point it at different jobs.

| --- | --- | --- |
| Who it's built for | One person running a business on the people they know. | Revenue teams. Its homepage speaks to reps, CSMs and sales leaders. |

| Knowing who's gone quiet | Ask "who haven't I talked to in six months?" and get names, with the last thread. It drafts a reconnect email; you send it. | Ask Attio searches your workspace and can send a follow-up once you approve it. Custom agents can watch for activity going quiet. |

## Where Attio is the better pick

**You run a team.** Attio is made for several people sharing one workspace, with permissions, reporting and forecasting. YouSpot is one account for one person.

**You want to design your own setup.** Custom objects, relationship and formula fields, and workflows with branches, schedules and webhooks. YouSpot decides what a person, a company and a note look like, so you don't have to, and so you can't.

**You send email in volume.** Attio Pro has built-in sequences, bulk sending and call recording. YouSpot drafts one reconnect email at a time, and you send it.

## Switching from Attio

1. **Connect Gmail and Google Calendar.** About a minute. Everyone you've ever emailed becomes your list.
2. **Bring your Attio people over.** Export a view from Attio as a CSV and upload it once. YouSpot proposes how the columns map and saves nothing until you've reviewed it. People already there are matched by email, and columns it can't place are kept as a note.
3. **Ask who's gone quiet.** Names, the last thread with each, and a draft to reconnect when you want one. You send it.

## Questions

### Is YouSpot an Attio alternative for one person?

If you work alone and most new work comes from people you already know, yes. If you're setting up a sales team, Attio is built for that and YouSpot isn't.

### Doesn't Attio have AI too?

Yes, plenty: Ask Attio, custom agents, web research and a connection for Claude and ChatGPT. The difference is who it's aimed at, not whether it's there.

### Can I use both?

Yes. YouSpot connects to your Gmail and Google Calendar, not to Attio, so the two don't get in each other's way. Some people keep Attio for team work and YouSpot for their own network.

### Does YouSpot work inside Claude or ChatGPT?

Yes. YouSpot's MCP connection works with Claude, ChatGPT (which may need developer mode), Codex, Claude Code and Cursor. Requests from there can use YouSpot credits.

### What does it cost?

Start on Free, no credit card needed. Pro is $10 a month, and you can cancel anytime.
