FirstDistro

FirstDistro is an account-intelligence tool for customer success managers and account executives who need to prioritize a portfolio. It suits teams that want product activity and CRM context to inform account follow-up, but its 50-account free cap and lack of custom scoring make fit depend on both portfolio size and scoring needs.

Overview

FirstDistro builds account health scores from activity, engagement, milestones, and recency; connecting HubSpot or Attio adds CRM health. Automated updates and health-score segments help teams keep a changing book organized. The trade-off is that teams cannot define custom scoring models, so its scoring approach may not match organizations with tightly tailored risk criteria.

Ask FirstDistro answers questions using workspace account and portfolio data, while flagging thin recent signals or incomplete data. That qualification is useful when account owners use AI prep notes to guide conversations: it distinguishes a tentative answer from one supported by stronger signals. Product-usage data, support data, and outcome data can all contribute to the account picture.

Key features

Signals, alerts, and workflow

After setup, the SDK captures page navigation by default, and teams can track custom product events to inform health scores. Risk and quiet-account alerts can be sent by email or Slack. These features give account owners multiple ways to spot accounts that need attention, though the absence of custom scoring means they cannot tune the score itself to their own definitions.

Available integrations include HubSpot, Attio, Slack, Stripe, email, and MCP access from Claude or Cursor. The maker describes Attio sync as bidirectional: health data flows to Attio, while company, contact, and meeting signals come back for scoring. Salesforce and Pipedrive are on the roadmap, so teams dependent on either should not assume a current integration.

Security and data handling

FirstDistro states that data is encrypted in transit with TLS 1.3 and at rest with AES-256, and that row-level security separates tenants. It describes its controls as SOC 2 aligned; enterprise customers can request a signed Data Processing Agreement. Account data remains until deletion is requested or the account is closed, and self-service deletion permanently removes associated data. The maker lists [email protected] for help and security inquiries.

Pricing

FirstDistro has a Free plan billed at $0/ month, capped at 50 customer accounts. It includes health scores, AI prep notes and email drafts, HubSpot and Attio CRM sync, API keys, and SDK access. That is a practical starting point for a small portfolio, but teams over the cap must move to Pro.

Pro costs $49 a month (billed $49/ month). It removes the account ceiling and per-account overage, and adds quiet-account alerts, prioritized recommendations, and 365-day data retention alongside health scores, AI prep notes, and email drafts. The unlimited-account structure is attractive for larger books, while the free plan gives up those Pro-specific alerts and recommendations and has a shorter account limit. No per-seat quota is stated in either plan.

Platforms

FirstDistro is available on web and through an API. The SDK supports product-event collection after setup, making the API option relevant to teams that want product usage to inform account health.

Who it's for

The product is aimed at teams that own a book of accounts and need to triage, prepare, and act. Its stated industries include B2B SaaS, fintech SaaS, and healthtech or vertical SaaS. It is a stronger fit for teams comfortable with its built-in scoring approach than for organizations that require custom health-score rules or an integration that is still on the roadmap.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Health scores combine product and account signals, with HubSpot or Attio CRM health added when connected.
• Pros: Free includes API and SDK access as well as CRM sync, useful for evaluating the workflow on up to 50 accounts.
• Pros: Pro removes the account cap and per-account overage for $49 a month.
• Cons: Custom scoring models are not supported, limiting teams that need their own risk definitions.
• Cons: Salesforce and Pipedrive are not current integrations; they are on the roadmap.

Verdict

FirstDistro is a sound choice for account-owning teams that want product and CRM signals, AI preparation, and risk alerts in one portfolio workflow, especially when an uncapped account count at $49 a month is useful. Look elsewhere if custom health-score models or a current Salesforce or Pipedrive integration is essential.
