Sync to CRM

Why teams switch from Surfe

Teams switch to LinkMatch for the workflow they actually need: direct in-browser sync, instant in-CRM status while browsing, and predictable flat-rate pricing.

01

Direct LinkedIn to CRM sync inside your browser

LinkMatch lives directly inside LinkedIn and Sales Navigator. View CRM data, update fields, and create leads or contacts without leaving the profile.

Native in-browser overlay on every profile

02

See who is already in your CRM before you click

Browse LinkedIn search results with live visual indicators showing whether each person is already in your CRM or new. Reps never waste time opening profiles they already reached out to.

Instant in-CRM status across search results

03

Predictable flat rate with zero credit traps

Every seat covers unlimited matching and saving. No credit balance to top up, no tier jump when a rep has a busy week, and no surprise overage invoices.

Unlimited sync on every plan

LinkMatch vs Surfe, line by line

Checked against publicly listed plans and documentation. Where a competitor partly covers a capability, we say so.

"We have a huge database and many duplicates. LinkMatch instantly shows if someone is already in our database, which makes it much easier to keep it clean. Saving conversations is one of my favorite features. We can always see who from our team reached out, what was discussed, and which opening it was for."

Anna
Founder, Indigo Tech Recruiters

"Before LinkMatch, I could spend two or three minutes, at least, per new contact on Zoho to get the details I need. With LinkMatch, it cuts that in two thirds: I save 66% of my time."

Steve Shimek
Founder and CEO, Shimek Strategic

"LinkMatch is a complete game-changer for my daily workflow. I am saving at least an hour a day that I used to spend copying LinkedIn profiles into our CRM by hand. Our CRM data has never been cleaner, and I can focus my time on actually selling."

Andrew Thomas
Sales Assistant, Verizon
