What is CRM-service?
A steady, unflashy CRM grinding out monthly quality-of-life features across campaigns and billing.
This CRM ships disciplined monthly release notes, each a bundle of incremental feature and workflow improvements rather than headline launches. Recent work centers on campaign logic (AND/OR condition groups, relative date conditions), record management (inline related-entity editing, duplicate merging), and billing automation (invoice payment status).
What is Less Annoying CRM?
Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact
LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.

A steady, unflashy CRM grinding out monthly quality-of-life features across campaigns and billing.
◆ Current state
This CRM ships disciplined monthly release notes, each a bundle of incremental feature and workflow improvements rather than headline launches. Recent work centers on campaign logic (AND/OR condition groups, relative date conditions), record management (inline related-entity editing, duplicate merging), and billing automation (invoice payment status).
◆ Where it's heading
The product is maturing along predictable CRM lines: richer segmentation and campaign conditions, less context-switching in the record view, and automation of routine back-office tasks like invoicing and deduplication. There is no directional pivot here — it is consistent breadth-filling that closes gaps against larger CRMs one month at a time.
◆ Prediction
Expect continued campaign-logic depth and record-management convenience features, with more billing and data-hygiene automation following the invoice-status and duplicate-merge work.
Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact
◆ Current state
LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.
◆ Where it's heading
The work stays on the daily record view: making the current state of a client easier to see as history grows. No AI, pricing or integration moves appear in the entries.
◆ Prediction
More small record-view and search features, either one at a time or as another bundle, are the likely next step.
