A while ago I used Hubspot CRM for a bit. I think it's slow and quirky, and to me it's a big red flag how hard they make it to get the data out (or, well, 2 years ago at least). But Hubspot gets one thing right that I never understood other CRMs can't do. If Hubspot sees an email from name@company.com, they automatically make a new contact for that name, and a new organization for that company (derived from the @comp…

I'm clearly biased (co-founder), but I'd suggest having a look at Nudge.ai for exactly that.

As someone who evaluates CRMs pretty much for a living I'm sad to report there's nothing new here. Great UI - Kudos. But, this is way more expensive than Pipedrive whose UI is arguably as user friendly. I think you've got potential here... but you're priced same as close.io with far fewer features and a similar UI.

Hey!

Thanks for your feedback! I just want to mention that Wobaka is $49 for all of your team, not per user. So if you're more than 3 users it's not more expensive :).

Earlier quoted context omitted.

You evaluate CRMs for a living? If I may, an off-topic question. I am completely unsatisfied with any addressbook software and have been looking at a ton of CRMs for personal use. I would prefer something open source, but anything self-hosted would do. The one feature that most CRMs are missing is CardDav and CalDav syncing. I need my contacts on my phone. Do you know of any opens source or otherwise self-hosted CRM…

Check out https://www.monicahq.com/ for a self-hosted CRM (personal).

Thank you, I have looked at Monica in the past but it was rather rough then. I see now that CardDav support is now in the "alpha" phase for the project. I will take a renewed look.

Thank you!

What would you recommend for a mom and pop ecommerce? Trying to find something for a couple of friends, but everything is bloated and complex.

What would you be looking for in a less bloated CRM? I have considered writing one as a starter for clients but not sure what features to include.

Why the name? To those who know a little bit of Japanese, the name is rather amusing.

I know a bit of Japanese and it didn't strike me at all. Is it just the "baka"? :-)

Wo = The

Baka = Fool

Src: Typed "wo in Japanese" and "baka in Japanese" into Google.

For me, the biggest pain points I face with CRMs are in integrations and customizations. Even Zendesk Sell+Support was awful when integrating to our ecom app. Does this CRM offer anything better in this area?

Not really atm. I will publish documentation for the API and will also make it work with Zapier. But if you're after lot's of integrations maybe Pipedrive is better :).
