Streak shows you the pipeline. Fasrad moves it.

A pipeline you watch vs. a pipeline that works itself

Streak is a CRM that lives as boxes and pipelines inside your Gmail inbox. That's its real advantage: there's no second app, no syncing, no export. You see a deal where the email already is, and for people who hate leaving their inbox that proximity is the entire reason to use it. It's genuinely good at that.

The catch is that every stage move, every note, every "follow up Thursday" is still something you do by hand. Streak shows you the box is sitting in 'Awaiting reply' for nine days. It doesn't write the nudge. Fasrad starts where Streak stops: it reads the last message in the thread, drafts a reply that references what was actually said, logs the interaction, and moves the contact's stage the moment you send.

Where the line falls:

• If you want pipeline columns rendered directly on top of the Gmail UI with zero context-switch, Streak is purpose-built for that and Fasrad isn't a Gmail overlay.
• If you want the CRM to draft, send, and log the email itself, Fasrad acts; Streak waits for you.
• If you want staggered personalized outreach to a list from a Google Sheet, Fasrad runs the campaign; Streak's mail merge needs you to trigger and watch it.
• If you want scheduled and event-driven automations (a new reply auto-triages, a captured lead auto-enters the pipeline) in plain language, Fasrad does it natively.

Pick Streak if your one requirement is seeing deals inside the exact Gmail window you already have open. Pick Fasrad if you'd rather hand the inbox, the follow-ups, and the data entry to an agent and only step in when it matters.

Frequently asked questions

Is Fasrad a Gmail extension like Streak?

No, and that's the deliberate difference. Streak renders pipelines on top of your Gmail UI so you never leave the tab. Fasrad gives each agent its own connected inbox it reads, drafts, and sends from — it works the email instead of just displaying deals beside it. You talk to it on the web, in Telegram, or by email.

What does Streak still do better?

Visibility inside Gmail itself. If your workflow is built entirely around seeing deal boxes in the exact inbox window you keep open all day, Streak's in-Gmail pipeline view is purpose-built for that and Fasrad doesn't overlay the Gmail interface. Streak's mail merge and shared-inbox boxes are also mature and well-documented. Fasrad is the better pick when you want the CRM to act, not just to be visible.

How does it move deals through stages?

You describe the rule in plain language — "anyone who replied goes to Interested, draft a reply to the rest." The agent reads each thread, applies the move, and logs the interaction. Stages live in a private datastore it creates and can bulk-update, with undo.

Can it do the outreach, not just track it?

Yes. Point it at a Google Sheet of contacts and it sends staggered, personalized email up to ~100/day, then triages the replies as they come back — drafting responses and updating each contact's stage. Streak's mail merge sends; the follow-up and logging are still on you.

Can I migrate my Streak pipeline?

Export your Streak boxes to a Google Sheet or CSV, point Fasrad at it, and it builds contacts, groups, and a pipeline datastore from the rows. There's no one-click Streak importer, so expect to map your stage names once during setup — the agent can do that mapping for you if you describe it.

How much does it cost?

$49/month or $490/year — cancel anytime. Setup takes about four minutes — connect an inbox and a sheet, describe the pipeline, and the agent starts working it. Fasrad is in public beta.
