Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Capsule

  • The free plan is capped at 2 users, 250 contacts, 5 custom fields and a single pipeline
  • Contact ceilings gate every tier, from 30,000 on Starter to 120,000 on Advanced
  • Per-user prices are not shown as figures on the pricing page, only as tier names
  • Ultimate is quote-only

Less Annoying CRM

  • There is no free tier, only a single $15 per user per month price
  • File storage is capped at 25 GB per user
  • The vendor advises staying below 50,000 total contacts, so very large databases sit outside the intended use even though no hard limit is enforced
