Danny CRM · Simple CRM
A simple, lightweight CRM without the bloat
Updated · by Vidagdhan Technologies
Short answer
If you need a CRM for keeping track of people, not for running a sales department, a lightweight app like Danny CRM covers the essentials: contacts, the full history of every call, WhatsApp and note, tags, custom fields and follow-up reminders, on your phone and productive in minutes without training. Free for up to 50 contacts; Pro is $6.99 a month or $49.99 a year (local prices in Google Play), with a 7-day free trial on yearly.
Big CRMs are built for sales teams with managers, pipelines, forecasts and automation. If you're a solo professional or a small team, most of that gets in the way: you spend more time configuring the tool than talking to customers.
Danny CRM does the few things a small business actually needs, and does them on the phone you already work from.
Danny CRM vs a large CRM

Large CRMs vary by plan and change over time; check each vendor for current details.
What a simple CRM should do (and Danny CRM does)
- Keep every contact with their details, tags and your own custom fields.
- Remember the history: calls, WhatsApps, texts, emails and notes, with dates.
- Let you call, WhatsApp, text or email in one tap, and log it.
- Remind you to follow up at the right time.
- Find anyone fast, by name, company, tag or part of a number.
- Keep your list safe: cloud backup, and export to a spreadsheet any time.
When a bigger CRM is the better choice
Choose a full CRM platform if you need deal pipelines with stages and forecasts, marketing email campaigns, a large team with roles and approvals, or integrations with many other tools. Danny CRM deliberately leaves those out to stay simple.
What Danny CRM doesn't do (yet)
- Android only for now; no iPhone app or web version yet.
- No deal pipelines, forecasting, email campaigns or third-party integrations.
- Built for one person today; shared team workspaces are on the waitlist.
Frequently asked questions
What is the simplest CRM for a small business?
For a solo professional or small team that mainly needs to track people and follow-ups, a phone-first CRM like Danny CRM is about as simple as it gets: contacts, their history, tags and reminders, with no setup project or training.
Is there a CRM I can use without training?
Yes. Danny CRM works like your phone's contacts with a memory: add a contact or import a sheet, tap to call or WhatsApp, and write a quick note. Most people are productive within minutes.
Do I need deal pipelines?
Many small businesses don't. If you mainly need to remember who you spoke to, what was said and when to follow up, contacts with tags and reminders are enough. If you manage many deals through stages, a pipeline CRM fits better.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Everything saves on your phone instantly, with or without signal. On Pro it backs up to the cloud when you're online.
How much does it cost?
Free for up to 50 contacts; Pro is $6.99 a month or $49.99 a year (local prices in Google Play), with a 7-day free trial on yearly.
