Which CRM software is best for small businesses?

If it's specifically for a small business I'd recommend LACRM (it literally stands for "Less Annoying CRM") because it is pretty simple to use and it doesn't come with all the bells and whistles. I tend to prefer more basic software like this because I don't need something playing a chime sound on my phone every time we have an update to the system, since there's a fair chance that I'm directly involved in updating it I really don't need the notifications. It's $15 per month but you get a free 30 day trial I believe

I started using Bigin not too long ago, it works very well with Google Workspace (which I can confirm) and it says it also works for MailChimp, Microsoft, and so on but I don't have any firsthand experience with that. It's less expensive than other CRMs and there's even a free version if you only have one person using the service, which is great if you don't feel like committing to it before getting a feel for if it would work for you or not

Not Hubspot. I find it too expensive even for some mid-sized companies.

SalesForce is great because of the flexibility. As a small business, you can pick and choose what features you need. However, the CRM is extremely scalable so you can always modify as you grow.

Do any of these names ring a bell to you, and which ones would be the coolest for a signed helmet/jersey?
