Which one should you pick?
Pick Copper if
- you work as referral partner, integrator / msp: Pipedrive doesn't list that track.
Pick Pipedrive if
- you want recurring income: Pipedrive pays on renewals (20% revenue share for first 12 months (Rising); 30% (Growth, 2-5 sales/month for 6 months); custom (Power, 6+ sales/month)), Copper doesn't say it does.
- the headline percentage matters most: up to 30% against 15%.
Either way, the program that earns more is the one whose product your readers already want. A higher rate on something they won't buy pays nothing.
