Switch
Switch from Monaco.
An AI-native revenue engine for early-stage startups with a pre-built market and sequences on autopilot. Belda does the work, and you decide with one key. Your Monaco export comes across as a file, deduplicated by domain, name and e-mail, the field map approved before anything is written.
What changes on Monday
On Monday the replies are read for you. Every reply is read into one of twelve classes and answered in its own language; a held reply waits with the answer drafted and the rule that held it, and you approve, edit or dismiss it with one key. In Monaco, a step's outcome is read into four classes, positive, negative, noncommittal and out of office, and a response on any channel stops all sequences. In Monaco, this was not read on 2 October 2026.
The meeting books itself from your calendar. Two genuinely free slots go inside the answer, under your own rules for lead time, hours and meetings a day; the slot ledger refuses a double booking and the invite leaves from you. In Monaco, a meeting booked off a sequence is stamped on it and a rule stops the sequence.
The deal moves when the work moves. A meeting the agent booked moves the deal on its own, with the reason on the timeline, and only you move it to Won. In Monaco, every interaction is captured, summarised and attached to the right account, contact and opportunity.
What you keep
Your record. Your Monaco export comes across as a file, deduplicated by domain, name and e-mail, the field map approved before anything is written. Nobody you imported gets a letter until you release their market.
Your mailbox, your calendar, your notetaker and your team's chat stay yours. Letters leave from your own mailbox through the send gate, the notetaker you already pay for connects in one press, and Slack or Teams carries the card to the channel you name, where you decide it with the same keys.
Your rules, market by market. A market card sets the default language and the rules for each market, with the reason for each, and the person's own language wins over the card.
What Belda does that Monaco only recorded: 12 of 19
- Answer every reply and book the meeting from my calendar. Monaco: partly. Belda: Every reply read, classified and answered in the prospect's own language, with two free slots from your calendar in the reply itself, not a booking link; a yes books the meeting and the invite goes out from your calendar.
- Guard every send with code, and let me decide with one key. Monaco: partly. Belda: The model drafts; the quote guard, the letter guard, the policy check and the slot ledger stand between every draft and the prospect; you decide with one key, and a reply goes out unattended only once that kind of reply has earned it on your own record; step in once, it is pulled back.
- Run one record from the first letter to the settled invoice, and keep what accumulates mine. Monaco: partly. Belda: One record from the first letter to the meeting, the recap, the quote, the signature and the invoice, yours to export with the source and the day behind every fact, with no other CRM under it.
- Read every reply. Monaco: partly. Belda: Twelve classes. A held reply waits with the answer drafted and the rule that held it. A approves, E edits, D dismisses.
- Answer in the prospect's language. Monaco: not read. Belda: The language is read off the reply itself and the answer is written in it within minutes; the market card sets the default and the person's own language wins.
- Book from my calendar. Monaco: partly. Belda: Two genuinely free slots from the seller's own calendar inside the reply, under the seller's own rules for lead time, hours and meetings a day; the slot ledger refuses a double booking; the invite goes from the seller with the right colleagues on it.
- Draft the proposal from the call, held for me. Monaco: not read. Belda: After a held meeting the agent proposes the quote from the transcript and your price book, and it waits for your yes.
- Quote and sign. Monaco: not read. Belda: Pick the product and the deal adds up; the quote leaves from the deal with TCV, MRR and ARR; it goes out for signature and the deal comes back Won on its own.
- Invoice. Monaco: not read. Belda: The first invoice is drafted where your money is counted; the invoice that went out sits on the deal with whether it was paid, and the agent never upsells a customer with an unpaid invoice.
- Live in Slack or Teams. Monaco: not read. Belda: Slack and Teams connect once for the team and route to the channel you name; the card lands there and you decide it there with the same keys.
- Reach LinkedIn and WhatsApp from the same desk, at human pace. Monaco: partly. Belda: LinkedIn and WhatsApp are paired from the seller's own signed-in tab, run as lanes of the same sequence at human pace within a budget you can read, and a reply in any channel stops the sequence and lands on the desk.
- Bring my old CRM across in one press. Monaco: partly. Belda: Pipedrive and HubSpot come across with one login; the field map is approved before anything is written, an import undoes, a second run adds only what is new, and nobody imported gets a letter until you release their market; any other CRM comes across by file with the columns mapped once.
What Monaco does well: 7 of 19
- Find the companies: The market is pre-built on day one from a world database and shaped by the ideal customer profile, the customers and the e-mail history.
- Write the first letter: Agents draft the e-mails from opinionated templates, with messages that adapt to the business context and the intent signals, content blocks that are manual or generated, fourteen template variables plus custom fields, and a reply trained on the seller's e-mail style.
- Send from my own mailbox: Every sequence names its sender, a user of the workspace, and a send fails when that person's mailbox is missing or its token has lapsed.
- Record itself: Every interaction is captured, summarised and attached to the right account, contact and opportunity.
- Join my calls: Its own recorder, or an imported transcript from two notetakers or a custom source.
- Tell me what to change: Prioritised actions, risk detection with reasons (ghosting, stalls, weak engagement), Ask Monaco chat for feedback and trends, proactive insights, an analytics tool for the agent, and MCP prompts for weekly cohort win rates, net new recurring revenue, a weighted forecast and loss reasons.
- The fifty words a CRM claims: Accounts with parent, owner, status, tags, notes and custom fields.
