What Dex is
Dex is a personal CRM for keeping relationship details and follow-ups together. It brings LinkedIn, email and other daily tools into contact records that can capture how you met someone, their education and work, important dates, family, gift ideas and past events. Reminders can prompt you to reconnect or flag upcoming birthdays. Dex’s browser extension syncs LinkedIn connections, with limits of 2,500 on Premium and 9,000 on Professional and Enterprise. Contacts can also come from Facebook, Gmail Contacts, Google Contacts, iCloud Contacts, Outlook, phone contacts and CSV files. Integrations include Gmail, Outlook, Google Calendar, messaging services, Superhuman, Granola and Zapier, among others. Dex also lets users connect Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or other MCP-compatible tools to their account and relationship data. Mobile apps support quick notes and meeting preparation; desktop downloads are available for Mac and Windows. Dex positions the product for personal relationships rather than sales pipelines, with use cases including founders, investors, job seekers, creators, real estate agents and recruiters. Premium is $12 a month and Professional is $20 a month; a 7-day trial is available, but there is no free plan.
