HubSpot has a huge selection of tools, reports, integrations and supports that Less Annoying does not have.
It is not comparable in price or functionality - but I am comparing it because it was the last CRM I used before I used Less Annoying, and it made me realize that if you …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
Insightly turned out to be so rigid, it did not meet our needs. They were very hard to get in contact with, never by placing a call. And they have questionable business practices, forced us into paying for another year of service we had no intention of using. Their product …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
I stopped using Salesforce because it has way too much stuff in it that I would never use. I consider LACRM a client management tool as well as a CRM, I don't need it to follow trends, forecast, or mass email. I am sure it may have some capabilities of these features but I will …
Chose Less Annoying CRM
I used ACT! heavily in the 1990's to great success in my sales/account management job. It was a great tool at the time. But it seems ACT! hasn't kept up with the market and the current reviews reflect it - "clunky," "out of date," "cumbersome" were common in many of the …

I did not like Salesforce because it was over engineered for what a sales person. The cells were too small to read easily when entering contacts. There were lots of irrelevant cells in the contact form. Required fields (I know this was our administrator) were excessive and not …

Less Annoying CRM is easier to use than all of the CRMs that I listed here, but I’m sure all those other ones have a place for those companies and I’m sure that they optimize the data flow and all that other good stuff. Frankly, Less Annoying CRM is just so much easier and …

We just felt like ACT was being to feel archaic and simply for storage of information. I was tasked with finding an alternative, and found Less Annoying CRM while searching and comparing options. This will probably be my lasting legacy long after I retire from the company! …

Less Annoying CRM is far less expensive and not burdened with lots of useless (for me) features. It has exactly what I need and is very easy to use. Further, tech support is easily accessed and available.

It's much more easy to navigate. Better website. Better overall look. More organized.
Salesmate
Chose Salesmate
I haven't used any other CRM, but from what I've heard from other's that have, other CRM's are much more expensive and they don't offer the sale level of customer support that Salesmate does.
Chose Salesmate
Salesmate was a good trade-off in pricing, features and possibilites: we started with a very simple pipeline management and then we slowly added some new features that we were already paying for in the basic/pro level. No need to upgrade to higher cost solutions to have full …
Chose Salesmate
Salesmate is more individualised and significantly more impactful for the individual user whereas Salesforce is better at reporting and more applicable for upper management rather than daily use and workflow management.
Chose Salesmate
I did brief this at the start itself. Salesmate is a simple tool, which is easy to understand, easy to navigate, easy to automate your own process, easy to configure and execute things without manually feeding it everything with all details. The simple point is - Email Outlook …
Chose Salesmate
I was using the free version of Hubspot, which was extremely limiting. If I wanted to go ahead and unlock a simple feature, which every other CRM offered, my price would shoot up to hundreds of dollars a month for no reason, as they force you to unlock “all the features” not …
Chose Salesmate
Salesmate is head and shoulders above these other systems when you weigh the price to features. Salesmate is simple to navigate and is packed with useful everyday features; all included at the same price. The standard features in Salesmate are additional or nonexistent features …
Chose Salesmate
Salesmate is way better at keeping organized, creating call lists, and keeping track of won and lost deals. I spent years trying to organize blitz to no avail and that's why we made the move to Salesmate.
Chose Salesmate
I am fairly decent with computers but I don't like dealing with things that are overly complicated. I loved Salesmate because it had all of the features we needed to manage clients, but not a bunch of extra stuff you never use. Customization of the system was easy and it didn't …
Chose Salesmate
Salesmate is more user-friendly than the above. We enjoy the simplistic functions rather than too many moving parts that confuse our staff. Salesmate keeps all of the important features that you would look for in a CRM. However, if you are looking for more features you can …

Chose Salesmate
I can't even remember them all. It simply blows them out of the water. I'm not being paid for this. It's the best I've found for my business.
Chose Salesmate
Very similar in overall layout and user experience...but the features blow these others out of the water. Where alternative solutions had features either lacking or as an upgrade (ie having to spend an extra $10-$30/month/user) Salesmate has these features out-of-the-box.
Chose Salesmate
Every call, chat and email creates a support ticket which is usually 24-48 hours for a response. I accomplished more with Salesmate support than I did with a month of the entire Fresh Works Suite. Also - all components are separate with Freshworks i.e. contacts to not sync …
Chose Salesmate
We've only been using Salesmate as long as I've been employed.
Chose Salesmate
I have looked at trial versions of most of the major CRM's most of which did NOT have a VOIP component. The ones that did poorly worked and were buggy. I extensively looked at Bitrix24 (lacks certain functionality), worked with LessAnnoyingCRM integrated with SIMPLII VOIP …
Chose Salesmate
Compared to Hubspot, Salesmate just provides so much more for less. It misses some of the marketing stuff that Hubspot has but personally I never needed them because I use a different software for that anyway.

Likelihood to Recommend
Less Annoying CRM is an excellent system for us as we log everything we do with a customer and has easy access to the imfromation later. May sound "of course" but this is by far the easiest CRM I've ever worked with during my 30 years in sales. Follow-up and scheduling is easy managable as well as designing forms and fields our selves. Less Annoying CRM has a good list of plug'ins to other software for integrational puposes. Most important to us is support when needed. Less Annoying CRM excels in its support. Don't hesitate, it doesn't do everything, but get started and get surprised

Salesmate gives us everything we need as a small business, with a clear interface, and can adapt to any business. If I was being ultra picky, I would perhaps suggest the ability to remove or hide certain modules not applicable to our niche, e.g., we are a B2C business, so the company module is not really useable for us, but this is not a negative by any means.

Pros
  • Simple, intuitive usage
  • Daily agenda emails
  • Ease of moving calendar / action items around, closing out
  • Customer service is extremely responsive, they don't hide behind a "contact us" form on their website as so many companies seem to do. You can readily reach them by phone!

  • For each client, it tracks emails, text messages, activities, files, calendar events, phone calls, to-do items.
  • Customization is quite good -- you add fields you need. Like was discovery received, full payment, partial payment, etc. You can later run reports.
  • Integration with other apps is good; I use QuickBooks and DocuSign.
  • Customer service is very good.

Cons
  • The one thing I was looking for is a place to manage multiple businesses with one project. Like if I am selling a "summer camp guide," I would like to have info for sales in one place with multiple contacts and businesses. LACRM customer service provided a workaround for me by suggesting I set up a specific pipeline for each project and them put each business in there. It is working great and, actually, a much better way to manage the project than I have originally intended.
  • I really don't have anything else to add. LACRM is perfect for us.
Read full review
  • The search feature can be buggy and does not allow for highlighted text to be typed on. You must clear the box or hit backspace before typing. The only app in my life that does this.
  • The dashboard button is pointless if it still makes you choose between legacy or classic.

Usability
I knew nothing about CRMs, and within a day of purchasing Less Annoying CRM, I was able to set up my contacts list with custom fields. After a brief call to Customer Service, I was able to set up my first pipelines and understand how to use them. This CRM is so simple to use, and extremely versatile.

The platform is incredibly robust while maintaining a clean appearance. This allows you to see exactly what you need at any given time without being overwhelmed. The ability to customize your dashboard easily allows you to see the information that is most relevant to your operations and needs.

Support Rating
Customer support is fantastic with these guys, they’re always very prompt to answer, and the team is very personable and easy to work with. I can’t really say much more than that, my interactions have been fairly limited, but what interactions I had, I can see without a shadow of a doubt they were very enjoyable and swift in resolving my issues.
Read full review
Fantastic - always reply in a reasonable amount of time, usually with a simple fix. The support website is very handy, but often you will likely have 'niche' questions - to which the team are all to happy to help with. For larger issues, we have had to lodge tickets with tech, but to date, every issue we have had has been resolved. Very happy with the support and service.

If I wanted to go ahead and unlock a simple feature, which every other CRM offered, my price would shoot up to hundreds of dollars a month for no reason, as they force you to unlock “all the features” not just the ones you need.
