Covve vs Kithmap

Covve Personal CRM helps users manage relationships with notes, reminders, curated contact news, and relationship analytics. Users can record conversations and interactions, while smart reminders flag when it may be time to reconnect or when they are losing touch. Curated news about contacts can help users prepare before reaching out, and live analytics track and organize relationships and assess network health. The app is listed for iPhone, iPad, and Android, with a web admin portal in the Pro plan. Contacts can be imported from iCloud, Outlook or Exchange, Google Contacts, and a phone address book. Listed integrations include Salesforce, HubSpot, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Zapier, Outlook Contacts, Google Contacts, and Excel. The App Store listing says contact notes and related personal data are encrypted on-device with end-to-end encryption, and Covve cannot unlock them without the user's encryption key. Covve offers a free plan and a 14-day trial. Essential costs $12 a month and Pro costs $20 a month; Enterprise pricing is custom.

Kithmap is a personal relationship CRM for keeping track of people and connections. Its graph lets users label links such as family, friends, partners, colleagues and classmates. People can be added by typing or pasting names, then organized with tags or groups and given photos and notes. Users can set a follow-up cadence, see who is overdue, record conversations and receive birthday reminders.

Kithmap describes itself as a single-user tool for personal memory, not a sales CRM. It runs on the web and macOS, and users sign in with Google. Optional connections to Google Contacts, Gmail and Calendar are subject to the access a user authorizes. Kithmap says Gmail thread bodies are not stored, although thread headers and relevant calendar events are cached on its server; for the Mac companion, message bodies remain on the Mac and only derived log entries are sent. Users can export data as JSON or delete an account in Settings. The open beta plan is free. Kithmap says it is US-only and not yet GDPR-compliant for EU residents.
