BigContacts remembers your contacts. Fasrad works them.

Fasrad as a BigContacts alternative

BigContacts is a tidy place to keep contacts, deals, and a few automated email steps. The catch is that everything still routes through you. You open the record, you decide who's gone quiet, you write the email, you set the reminder, you mark the stage. The CRM is a filing cabinet that occasionally pings you.

Fasrad starts from the other end. Your agent has its own email inbox, your calendar, and a CRM it can read and write. When a reply lands, it triages it, updates the contact's stage, drafts the response in your voice, and asks before sending. When a deal hasn't moved in two weeks, it tells you in the morning check-in instead of waiting for you to notice. The data and the doing live in the same place.

Where Fasrad pulls ahead:

• It reads and answers its own inbox, then logs the thread to the contact automatically — no manual interaction entry.
• It runs personalized outreach from a Google Sheet, staggered so you don't trip spam filters, and routes replies back into the pipeline.
• It books meetings against your real Google Calendar and writes a prep brief from prior email before the call.
• It checks in proactively — stale deals, today's meetings, who owes you a reply — instead of sitting there until you log in.

Honest version: BigContacts is cheaper at the low end and its drip sequences are a known quantity. Fasrad is an agent you direct in plain language, not a rules builder you configure. If you want a CRM that does the chasing, that trade is the point.

Frequently asked questions

Can I move my BigContacts data into Fasrad?

Yes. Export your contacts, companies, and notes from BigContacts as CSV, then tell the agent to import them into the CRM from a Google Sheet. Contacts, groups, and notes map across. Open deals you'll want to recreate as stages, since the structures differ.

Does Fasrad have a sales pipeline like BigContacts?

It has contacts, groups, and interactions, and you describe your stages in plain language. The difference is the agent moves deals through stages based on what it reads in email, rather than you dragging cards. If you want a visual kanban board you click through manually, BigContacts gives you that out of the box.

What does BigContacts still do better?

Its drip email sequences are a mature, set-and-forget feature with reporting, and its per-record automation rules are predictable. Fasrad's outreach is agent-driven and conversational, which is more flexible but newer. If you rely on rigid multi-step sequences with conversion dashboards today, that's a real gap to weigh.

Will it send emails without my say-so?

No. It drafts in your voice and asks before sending by default. You can tell it to auto-send specific low-risk things — like a meeting confirmation — but the default is approve-first. Outreach from a sheet is staggered and capped so you stay off spam lists.

Where does the agent run?

On the web at fasrad.com/chat, as a private Telegram bot, over email, and as an embeddable chatbot on your website. The same agent and the same CRM data are behind all four, so a lead captured by the website bot shows up in the same pipeline you manage from Telegram.

What does it cost?

$49/month or $490/year — cancel anytime Fasrad is in public beta, and setup is about four minutes. BigContacts undercuts it on the entry tier — the bet here is that an agent doing the follow-up work is worth more than a cheaper place to store contacts.
