Less Annoying CRM

CRM Software

4.8

Less Annoying CRM lives up to its name by offering a simple, affordable CRM with no confusing tiers, no upsells, and no long-term contracts. At a flat $15/user/month with all features included, it removes the pricing complexity that frustrates small business owners with other CRMs. The platform focuses on core CRM essentials — contact management, pipeline tracking, calendar integration, and task management — without the bloat of features most small teams never use. With free phone and email support and a setup process that takes just minutes, it's consistently rated as one of the easiest CRMs to adopt for businesses with 1–25 employees.

Linear is a streamlined issue tracking and project management tool built specifically for high-performance software teams that value speed and keyboard-driven workflows.

Linear's Cycles feature brings structure to sprint planning without the overhead of traditional Scrum tools, while Triage helps teams process incoming issues efficiently. Used by fast-growing companies like Vercel, Ramp, and Loom, Linear has become the tool of choice for engineering teams that find Jira too slow and complex.
