If you’re running a mid-sized SaaS team and tasked with figuring out go-to-market (GTM) strategy, you know the drill: too many tools, too much noise, and not enough time. GTM platforms promise to bring order to the chaos, but most are either too basic to be useful or so bloated you’ll need a dedicated ops person just to keep up. This review cuts through the hype around Convrt and gets real about what it actually offers, what it doesn’t, and who should even bother.
What’s Convrt Supposed to Do?
Convrt pitches itself as an “all-in-one B2B GTM platform.” Translation: it tries to be the central hub for all the stuff mid-sized SaaS teams need to plan, launch, and track their go-to-market campaigns. The idea is you get out of spreadsheets and disconnected docs, and into a workspace where marketing, sales, and product can actually work together.
Here’s the sales pitch boiled down: - Unified workspace for GTM teams (marketing, sales, product, ops) - Project and campaign planning (roadmaps, briefs, launch checklists) - Target account and persona management - Reporting and analytics on GTM activities - Workflow automation (reminders, assignments, approvals) - Integrations with tools like Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack
It’s a tall order. Let’s see what lands.
Setup: How Hard Is It, Really?
The Good
- Onboarding is pretty painless. Signing up, connecting your CRM, and inviting teammates only takes about 20 minutes if you have your logins handy.
- UI feels modern and not overwhelming. You won’t need a consultant just to find your way around.
- Decent starter templates. For GTM project plans, campaign briefs, and launch checklists—great if your team has been winging it in Google Sheets.
The Not-So-Good
- Integrations aren’t always plug-and-play. If your Salesforce instance is customized (and whose isn’t?), expect to do some mapping and fiddling.
- Importing existing data is clunky. Bulk uploads work, but cleaning up fields and matching formats can be tedious for bigger teams.
Pro Tip: Don’t try to migrate everything on day one. Start with your next campaign or launch, run it in Convrt, and expand from there.
Day-to-Day Use: Does Convrt Actually Make Life Easier?
Where It Delivers
- Centralized GTM Projects: You can actually see what marketing, sales, and product are working on, in one place. This alone is a big step up from Slack threads and scattered docs.
- Collaboration features are practical. Comments, @mentions, and task assignments are built-in, so you don’t have to bounce between tools to keep up.
- Roadmaps and timelines are visual, not just lists. Gantt charts, kanban boards, you name it—decent for keeping execs and ICs on the same page.
- Persona and account management is simple but useful. Not a full-blown CRM, but enough to track who you’re targeting and connect them to campaigns.
Where It Falls Short
- Reporting is just OK. You get basic dashboards (campaign statuses, team workload, account engagement), but don’t expect deep attribution or pipeline analytics.
- Automation is limited. You can set up reminders and simple workflows, but if you want advanced automations or custom triggers, you’ll hit a wall.
- No real buyer journey mapping. It tracks activities but doesn’t visualize or analyze journeys the way some GTM tools claim to.
What To Ignore: - The “AI insights”—at least for now. They’re mostly glorified reminders and generic suggestions, not the magic bullet the marketing implies.
Integrations: Will Convrt Play Nice With Your Stack?
Convrt covers the basics: Salesforce, HubSpot, Slack, Google Workspace, and a handful of others. Here’s the reality:
- CRM Sync is fine for pipeline and account data. Don’t expect deep bidirectional sync—Convrt pulls in enough to connect campaigns to accounts, but you’ll still need to report out of your CRM.
- Slack integration is handy. Comments and updates show up in channels, which keeps people in the loop.
- No native product analytics or customer support tool integrations (yet). If you want to tie GTM to in-app metrics or support tickets, you’re out of luck for now.
If you’re using a lot of niche tools or have a heavily customized CRM, expect to spend some time with Zapier or manual exports.
Pricing: Is It Worth It for a Mid-Sized Team?
Convrt’s pricing is straightforward: per user, per month, with a discount for annual billing. There’s a free trial, but no free tier. For context, it’s roughly in line with other mid-market GTM tools—think $30–$60 per user/month, depending on features.
What You’re Paying For: - Centralized GTM planning and collaboration - Basic analytics and campaign tracking - Templates and project management
What You’re Not Getting: - Deep reporting or analytics - Custom automations - Advanced integrations
For a 15–50 person GTM team, it’s not cheap, but not outrageous. If you’re replacing a bunch of duct-taped spreadsheets, it could save time and frustration. If you already have strong processes and just need better reporting, this might feel like overkill.
What Convrt Gets Right (And What It Doesn’t)
Hits: - Fast setup—good for teams who want to get going, not get stuck in “implementation hell.” - Brings a scattered GTM process into one place. - Solid for cross-functional collaboration and project tracking.
Misses: - Reporting and analytics are shallow for data-driven teams. - Automation is basic—don’t expect it to replace your marketing automation tool. - Integrations cover the big names but lack depth.
Nice Touches: - Templates for launches and campaigns are practical, not just fluff. - Visual timelines keep folks honest about deadlines. - Commenting and @mentions help kill endless “where are we on this?” Slack pings.
Annoyances: - Importing existing data is tedious if you have years of legacy spreadsheets. - Activity feeds can get noisy with larger teams—filtering options are limited. - “AI” features aren’t a reason to buy (yet).
Who Is Convrt Actually For?
If you’re a mid-sized SaaS company (think: 15–100 people on the GTM side) and your launches, campaigns, and handoffs feel like herding cats, Convrt is worth a look. It’s not a magic fix, but it does get everyone working from the same playbook without a ton of setup. If you’re already running a tight process or need deep analytics, you’ll probably outgrow it (or get annoyed by its limits) pretty fast.
Skip Convrt if: - You want detailed attribution, journey analytics, or advanced automation. - Your team is tiny (under 10)—stick to Trello, Asana, or Notion. - You’re looking for a CRM replacement—it’s not that.
Bottom Line: Keep It Simple, Iterate Often
Don’t let GTM tools become the work. Convrt is a solid choice if your team is drowning in spreadsheets, lost in Slack, or constantly confused about who’s doing what. It’s not going to transform your business overnight, but it can make launches and campaigns less painful. Start with just one project, see where it helps (and where it doesn’t), and only roll it out further if it actually saves your team time or headaches.
The real win isn’t the tool—it’s getting your team on the same page and focused on the work that actually moves the needle. Don’t overthink it. Try, tweak, repeat.
