Capability values from the 2026 feature audit. Agent-native = the AI can operate the tool, not just sync data. Counts are each vendor's integration catalog: Dench 1,503, all agent-native · dench.com/integrations; ClickUp 1,000+ · clickup.com/integrations; Attio ~200; monday 200+, but on those CRMs only a subset is agent-accessible. Salesforce AppExchange lists apps and consulting services, not comparable, so it is not counted.
Cost and time to value
Three factors that decide the real cost of a switch: price per seat, how long until your team is live, and whether setup is self-serve or a manual implementation project.
| CRM | $ / seat / mo | Ramp time | Setup |
|---|---|---|---|
| Salesforce | $195 | Weeks–months | Manual |
| Dench | $99 | Minutes | Self-serve |
| Attio | $79 | Days | Self-serve |
| monday CRM | $24 | Days | Self-serve |
| ClickUp | $33 | Days | Self-serve |
Priced for what Dench actually does: Salesforce’s cheapest edition with AI agents built in (Core, incl. Agentforce) is $195/seat, roughly double Dench and still a manual multi-week rollout. The cheaper tools are not agent-native. Dench is $99, all-in, live the same day.

Reduce tool cost while eliminating siloed context
A typical GTM team stitches six tools together, each with its own bill and its own island of data. Dench folds them into one engine, on one shared context.
Each tool owns one slice of the stack: CRM, prospecting, enrichment, LinkedIn outreach, meeting notes, and cold email. Dench owns all of them.
