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.
What is Nimble?
Nimble is turning its CRM into a full outbound-email hub for small teams.
Nimble keeps its small-business CRM core but the recent shipping is dominated by email marketing and outreach: drag-and-drop templates, AI-generated emails, multi-sender campaigns, group messages with team collaboration and per-link click analytics, and category-based unsubscribe lists. CRM-side work is mostly polish — customizable list views, fresh navigation, an AI-revamped business card scanner. Forms get incremental design controls.
Less Annoying CRM vs Nimble: editorial side-by-side
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.
Nimble
0.0CRM
Nimble is turning its CRM into a full outbound-email hub for small teams.
◆ Current state
Nimble keeps its small-business CRM core but the recent shipping is dominated by email marketing and outreach: drag-and-drop templates, AI-generated emails, multi-sender campaigns, group messages with team collaboration and per-link click analytics, and category-based unsubscribe lists. CRM-side work is mostly polish — customizable list views, fresh navigation, an AI-revamped business card scanner. Forms get incremental design controls.
◆ Where it's heading
Nimble is repositioning from a relationship-tracking CRM into an integrated outreach platform — the kind of customer that previously stitched HubSpot Free with Mailchimp. The AI work shows up as assistive (email composition, business card OCR) rather than agentic, and the email-marketing primitives (lists, unsubscribes, multiple senders, template editor) are becoming first-class rather than add-ons.
◆ Prediction
Expect the email surface to keep widening — automation/sequencing logic across senders, deliverability tooling like warmup or domain authentication helpers, or AI-driven send-time and segment recommendations using the new per-link click data.
