Veteran customer service

The average CRM Coach has been working with LACRM customers for over 5 years — this means no matter who you talk to, you're talking to a seasoned pro.

That's because we pay every employee a thriving wage. When we hire someone, they stay long enough to become an actual expert. No chatbots ever.

One low price, and no upcharges

We have no investors demanding that we squeeze every dollar out of our users, so we'll always price LACRM as low as we can afford to.

We've only raised our price once in the past 14 years (thanks a lot, inflation), and we gave existing customers an extra four years on the original price — because loyalty matters.

Utter commitment to small businesses

Less Annoying CRM isn't a neglected spin-off of another big CRM, nor are we the "lite" version of a more expensive system.

Our goal 14 years ago was to build the best CRM for small businesses, and today we're still the #1 easiest-to-use CRM for small businesses. We have no plans to change course.

Our story

If a software engineer can't set up a CRM, we have a problem

Tyler, an experienced software engineer, struggled to get “A Very Popular CRM” 👀 set up for his boss. It ended up being so difficult to use that he built his own app instead.

Yep, that app became Less Annoying CRM, and Tyler, our CEO.
‍
That was over a decade ago, so why are CRMs still so hard to use for small businesses?

About once a month, I come away shaking my head saying, “what were they thinking?”

Not only do they upcharge you for every little thing, but for that price you’d expect to be able to have some tech support beyond an online Q&A repository. Ridiculous.

I come from a background of CRMs that end up being binned after two months because you need a degree to work it. And a masters to keep in the loop and stay on top of it.

Actual reviews of other CRMs

The (usual) investor method

Build features that everyone can use, start with a low price everyone can afford, and get as many customers as possible!

With locked-in customers, time to increase prices! Build features for enterprises since they have more cash to spend and cut expenses (like customer service)

Profit! Investors are happy
‍(and you’re not)

This happens because most CRMs are still funded by investors

An investor's only goal is to make more money than last year, and you do that by attracting high-value customers.

Unfortunately, small businesses ≠ high-value customers.

👉 This means that for most investor-funded CRM companies, it makes no financial sense to serve small businesses.

That's why so many CRMs that start off as "small business CRMs" end up becoming, well, those CRMs.

Less Annoying CRM is completely self-funded

This lets us do things that most investors would balk at, just because that’s how we want to do business.

That's why we’ve been running the small business playbook since 2009. 💙

Never raising any money from investors has meant that LACRM has had a much longer, slower journey to growth, and no one here is going to become a billionaire.

That’s just fine with us.

This means freedom to:

Price our software as low as we can

Have a name like “Less Annoying CRM”

Let every customer sign up and cancel whenever they want

Offer great customer service for free

Pay our employees well

(Happy teammates make great software)

Build features for small businesses with no pressure to target big companies

How we do it

This is what that Less Annoying playbook looks like:

Funded by investors

Investors, not customers, get to decide how the product develops

Goal is to make a lot of money each year; not to keep building a better product

Funded by customers

No pressure to screw over our customers to turn a profit (we're already profitable!)

Freedom to build only features small businesses need

Family-owned since 2009 — we're in it for the long haul

Meet our customers

Predatory pricing

Ever-increasing prices

Forced to "upgrade" just to use the same features you had before

Honest pricing

One single price tier with no contracts

No upgrade fees or hidden costs

Our lowest price while still providing a thriving wage to all employees.

See full pricing details

Frustrating Support

Chatbot that gives you the wrong answers

Must pay extra to speak to real person

Empowered support

Coaches collaborate with you for long-term success; not just answer one-off tickets

Every teammate discusses your feedback with the entire product team every week

We hire the best people, who stay with us for a very long time

Ask us anything

Enterprise focused

Complicated features designed to appeal to large companies with deep pockets

Pricing models that offer discounts only to enterprises that can afford to pay a lot upfront

Small biz-focused

The average LACRM account has 2.5 users, and that's how we like it

Every new feature is designed with ease-of-use for the solo user in mind

You will never need to hire a consultant to set up your CRM
