Where Less Annoying CRM still costs less, by the numbers

On monthly billing, one Less Annoying CRM user at $15 costs less than one Zoho CRM Standard user at $20. It is also below HubSpot Starter's $20 list price, but HubSpot's pages currently show new-customer offers at $15 or less, so do not count on a saving there. On annual billing Zoho Standard is $14, one dollar under. Bigin Express is lower on both billing bases.

Against the free tiers it cannot win on price: two people fit inside HubSpot's free CRM and three inside Zoho's free edition, within their limits.

Against Little Green Light's flat $45, Less Annoying CRM is lower with one or two users, equal with three and higher from four, assuming 2,500 constituents or fewer. Against Bloomerang CRM's $125 starting price it is lower up to eight users ($120). Our seat cost guide shows how to count the users you actually need.

General CRM alternatives: HubSpot, Zoho CRM and Bigin

HubSpot is the pick if a permanent free tier matters. One caution: HubSpot's own pages show different Starter prices. Its product catalog and Starter page give $20 per seat per month as the list price, its CRM page shows $15 as a new-customer discount, and the Starter page shows $7 on an annual commitment or $10 month to month for a limited time. Budget on the list price. See Less Annoying CRM vs HubSpot.

Zoho CRM suits a team that wants workflow rules and mass email inside the CRM. Bigin is Zoho's lighter product, built around a simple pipeline. The detail is in Less Annoying CRM vs Zoho CRM.

Nonprofit alternatives: Little Green Light, Bloomerang and POINT

Less Annoying CRM is a general contact manager. Its nonprofit template tracks donation opportunities in a pipeline, but its feature pages list no gift receipts, no donation forms that take payment and no volunteer hours log.

Little Green Light covers gifts, acknowledgment letters, memberships and volunteer hours by task, with every feature in every account. Bloomerang sells donor CRM, fundraising and volunteer products, each priced separately. POINT handles volunteer sign-ups and time tracking on its free plan, and does not try to be a donor database.

Which alternative fits which buyer

  • One or two people, no budget: HubSpot's free CRM, while you stay under 1,000 contacts.
  • A sales-style pipeline at the lowest paid price here: Bigin Express.
  • A nonprofit that records gifts and sends receipts: Little Green Light, or Bloomerang if you want its donor reporting and can commit to a year.
  • A volunteer coordinator who needs shifts and hours: POINT, or another tool from our volunteer management software page.
  • A small team that wants one price, phone support and no annual commitment: stay with Less Annoying CRM.

Before you move, export everything. In Less Annoying CRM that is Settings, then Export data, and the help center says only admins can run the full export.
