About
Attio gives venture-backed startups 80% off the annual Pro plan in year one and 30% off in year two, capped at 10 seats. It also bundles three months of Linear and six months of Notion.
The eligibility window is tight and catches people out: you must have signed up for Attio within the last 90 days, be incorporated less than 10 years ago, and be venture-backed. If you already have an older Attio account, you are outside the window.
At 80% off, this is the deepest first-year CRM discount we verified, and the strongest alternative to HubSpot for Startups for a team that wants something lighter than a full marketing suite.
