Dex

Dex is a personal CRM that acts as a digital rolodex to help you keep track of your relationships. It syncs with LinkedIn, Gmail, and other sources to remind you when to reach out and lets you add notes about what you last spoke about. The company states it is built for people who want to impress with thoughtfulness rather than using heavy sales pipelines.

The Premium plan costs $12 per month and includes features like mobile and desktop access, LinkedIn sync for up to 2,500 connections, and 10 research credits per month. The Professional plan is $20 per month and adds 20 research credits and Outlook integration. The Team plan is $40 per user per month and includes SAML SSO and team billing.

New users can start with a 7-day free trial on both the Premium and Professional plans. A credit card is required to begin the trial, but you are not charged until the trial ends and can cancel at any time before then.

Dex integrates with over 15 different sources including Facebook, Instagram, X, WhatsApp, and Google Calendar to build a private database of the people you know. It also offers a browser extension and a mobile app to manage relationships anywhere.

The company offers a 50% discount for students for one year and a 50% discount for MBA students for two years. Non-profit organizations can also reach out to support for discounts, and switching to annual billing saves up to 40%.

Dex provides a feature called 'Dex Research' that builds a briefing on a contact, including their background, current role, and what has changed since you last talked. Premium users get 10 credits a month, Professional users get 20, and Team users get 50.

The company was founded in 2019 and is built by DanaHQ, Inc. It is located in San Francisco with a distributed team that includes members from Guadalajara, India, Norway, the Philippines, and Spain.

Some reviewers on Trustburn praise the team for being highly professional, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist. They also note that the website is user-friendly and easy to navigate, with excellent customer support.

Dex is designed for MBA students, founders, investors, job seekers, and real estate agents who need to organize their networks without the complexity of a sales CRM. It is particularly useful for those who want to remember context from past conversations and avoid manual spreadsheets.

The company emphasizes that it will never sell or share your data to third parties, as it is supported by subscriptions rather than ads. Users have full control to export or delete their data at any time.

Dex speaks MCP, the open standard for connecting AI clients to real data, allowing tools like Claude, ChatGPT, and Gemini to understand your contacts and notes. It also offers a voice mode and notetaker integrations for the Professional plan.

The company compares itself to Google Contacts by noting that while Google Contacts is great for storing names and syncing across devices, it lacks a reminder system and context tracking for professional relationships. Dex fills this gap by flagging when relationships are going cold.

Some users on Reddit mention that Dex helps them remember details from their MBA coffee chats and networking events, which would otherwise blend together over time. They appreciate the ability to see who they haven't reached out to in a while.

The company offers a dedicated support email at [email protected] for general inquiries and team setup. They also provide guides and documentation to help users get started quickly.
