The short answer

Independent professionals and small offices such as insurance agents, realtors and consultants.

Skip it if: teams that want automation, native mobile apps or integrated marketing.

Less Annoying CRM does exactly what its name promises. It will never run your marketing or forecast your quarter, and for a five-person business that just needs to stop losing track of people, that is the point.

$15 per userFull review

Small and midsize teams that want marketing and sales on one system and value a gentle learning curve over deep customization.

Skip it if: teams that need advanced automation for many users on a tight budget, since those features sit in the Professional tier.

If you are starting from a spreadsheet, HubSpot is the safest first CRM: free to adopt, easy to learn and hard to outgrow quickly. Budget for the jump to Professional if you will need advanced automation within a year.
