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 SalesQL?
SalesQL is shipping prospecting depth at a measured pace — saved searches, team seats, multilingual UI.
SalesQL focuses on contact enrichment and prospecting on top of LinkedIn data. The recent shipping cadence is sparse but coherent: saved searches and richer company filters in Prospector, extra seats for team subscriptions at $10/seat, Spanish UI as a first step toward multilingual support, expanded contact export fields, and earlier this year a Reverse Email Lookup capability inside CSV Enrichment. There's no visible move into AI-driven outreach or scoring — the product remains a data-extraction-and-enrichment tool, not a sequencing or signals platform.
Less Annoying CRM vs SalesQL: 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.
SalesQL
0.0CRM
SalesQL is shipping prospecting depth at a measured pace — saved searches, team seats, multilingual UI.
◆ Current state
SalesQL focuses on contact enrichment and prospecting on top of LinkedIn data. The recent shipping cadence is sparse but coherent: saved searches and richer company filters in Prospector, extra seats for team subscriptions at $10/seat, Spanish UI as a first step toward multilingual support, expanded contact export fields, and earlier this year a Reverse Email Lookup capability inside CSV Enrichment. There's no visible move into AI-driven outreach or scoring — the product remains a data-extraction-and-enrichment tool, not a sequencing or signals platform.
◆ Where it's heading
SalesQL is making the existing surface more useful for power users (saved filter sets, exportable enrichment fields) and starting to widen its addressable market through team plans and localization. Compared to the broader prospecting category — Apollo, Clay, Lusha, ZoomInfo — SalesQL's positioning looks deliberately narrower: a focused enrichment tool that doesn't try to become a workflow engine. That can be a defensible niche or it can be a slow squeeze depending on how much pricing pressure the larger tools apply.
◆ Prediction
The most likely next moves are more language additions to Prospector, deeper export/integration capabilities (Salesforce, HubSpot, CRM-native pushes), and possibly an enrichment-API tier that widens the developer-facing surface. AI-assisted outreach features would be a natural step but the cadence so far doesn't suggest urgency.
