Quick Verdict

The product provides core CRM functions, customizable pipelines, reporting, integrations, mobile access, and an API. Public G2 and Capterra ratings are strong, while independent coverage notes fewer advanced automation features than larger CRM suites.

Overview

Less Annoying CRM is a cloud-based customer relationship management system designed for small businesses. It centralizes contacts, companies, notes, tasks, calendars, email history, files, and workflow records.

The company was started by brothers Tyler and Bracken King in 2009. Its headquarters are listed at 1017 Olive Street in St. Louis, Missouri. The product uses one subscription plan rather than feature-based tiers.

Less Annoying CRM is best suited to teams that want straightforward relationship tracking and customizable processes. It is less suitable for organizations needing complex marketing automation or extensive enterprise sales operations.

Key Features

Users can create contact and company records, add notes, upload files, define custom fields, and organize records with groups. The system also supports relationships between contacts and companies.

Customizable pipelines represent processes such as sales, client onboarding, recruiting, orders, or fundraising. Pipeline records can use custom statuses, fields, reports, filters, and follow-up tasks.

The calendar supports tasks, events, shared team calendars, sub-calendars, reminders, and synchronization with Google Calendar and Outlook Calendar. Email logging can associate sent and received messages with contact histories.

Additional capabilities include filtered reports, daily agenda emails, bulk data import, spreadsheet exports, user permissions, contact assignments, mobile browser access, and a public form builder.

Integrations include Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, Google Contacts, Mailchimp, Zapier, and other third-party connectors. Developers can use the Less Annoying CRM API to add contacts, create tasks, add leads, and connect external systems.

Pricing

Less Annoying CRM costs $15 per user per month, plus applicable taxes. The company offers one plan and does not list separate feature tiers, setup fees, or long-term contracts.

The subscription includes unlimited contacts and companies, unlimited pipelines, task management, email logging, mobile access, user permissions, unlimited custom fields, free upgrades, 25GB of file storage per user, and support.

A 30-day free trial provides full access to the CRM. No credit card is required to start, and the trial closes automatically if the user does not subscribe.
