What are the Best (free) CRM tools that integrate with Google Apps?

1.Salesflare

Salesflare has been built for seamless integration with Gmail and all Google Apps, along with other email platforms and apps. In fact, aside from the web and mobile app, you can easily access Salesflare from inside your Gmail inbox, as it sits right next to your emails.
It’s not free, I’ll have to disappoint you on that. Though I understand that you look to spend the least possible on your tools, free CRMs have little more functionality than Google Sheets and/or Contacts, which are actual Google Apps. They’ll charge you for any real CRM-like feature. So be careful around ‘free’ CRMs.
You do get value for money: Salesflare will integrate with email, calendar, phone, social, web, company databases etc. and combine all that data to generate automated customer info and timelines. The idea is for you to never have to manually input data again so you can fully focus on your customers.
The whole CRM is built for efficiency, compatibility and convenience.
This web-view of the app gives an idea of what the automated timeline looks like:




Pipeline-view allows you to efficiently keep track of all your leads:


On top of Gmail and Google Apps, you can connect Salesflare to 750+ other apps with Zapier. Or you can easily build on the API yourself.


2. ProsperWorks

I'd say it's the best CRM if you are looking for something that closely integrates with Google Apps. 

Here are some of the feature benefits: 
  • SIMPLICITY & EASE.
    Literally takes less than 10 minutes to set up. As easy to use as Gmail!
  • AUTOMATION
    ProsperWorks automates most of the manual data entry - a huge time saver and productivity improvement!
  • GOOGLE INTEGRATION
    Integration with Gmail, Google Calendar, and Drive. You update, ProsperWorks syncs!
  • AND MORE..
     - Reports: Sales pipeline management made easy with its intuitive reporting feature.
     - Auto reminders: set reminders so you never miss a thing!
     - Mobility: iOS and Android mobile apps.
     - Integration: Zapier integration allows you to connect with 300+ apps like Evernote, Dropbox, MailChimp, etc.
     - Work from your inbox: Gmail plugin allows you to work right from your inbox.

    AND MUCH MORE..

3. Google Contacts

Depending on what you need from a CRM, Google Contacts itself might be enough of a CRM for you. It has fields to track anything you want about a contact, a notes section to save extra data about your communications and more, and a button to let you pull up all of your conversations with that contact. Here's more info about using Google Contacts as a free CRM: Google Contacts as a Free CRM
