Capsule CRM review 2026

Image
Capsule CRM is an intuitive and affordable customer relationship management (CRM) solution designed for small to medium-sized businesses. Its user-friendly interface and gentle learning curve make it approachable even for non-technical users. Despite its competitive pricing, Capsule provides a robust set of core features for managing contacts, identifying opportunities, tracking communications, and overseeing sales pipelines. Standout capabilities include the ability to store up to 30,000 contacts for just $18/month, a simple "projects" feature that can function as a basic helpdesk, and useful integrations with popular apps like Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Mailchimp, and Xero. In my experience, Capsule excels at delivering the best CRM platform performance in a streamlined package. The well-designed layouts and intuitive workflows can help small teams quickly get up to speed. Howe...

Agile CRM review 2026

Image
Launched in 2013, Agile CRM is a comprehensive platform built for small and medium-sized businesses. By combining sales, marketing, and customer service into one integrated system, it aims to simplify operations and boost efficiency across various business processes. When I first looked at Agile CRM, I was struck by its affordability and the range of features it offers. The CRM platform provides a free plan that supports up to 10 users, which is more generous than many of its competitors in the small business space. However, as I dug deeper into Agile CRM's capabilities, I found that its user interface and overall user experience could be seriously improved. While the platform offers a lot of features, it's not always easy to find what you need, and the experience can feel a bit clunky compared to established CRMs. Agile CRM core capabilities (Image credit: Agile CRM ) Agile CRM offers a...

I watched Supergirl starring Milly Alcock and Jason Momoa — and the DC comic-book movie isn't the terrific Woman of Tomorrow adaptation I'd hoped for

Image
Light spoilers follow for Supergirl . Supergirl marks the eponymous character's return to the limelight after 42 years. Okay, the DC superhero has starred and/or appeared in numerous TV shows and small-screen movies in the decades since; however, her only previous big-screen outing came in the form of the much-maligned 1984 Supergirl film featuring Helen Slater, so another cinematic adventure is long overdue. Unfortunately, as incredibly excited as I've been for the second DC Universe ( DCU ) flick's arrival, it gives me no satisfaction to say that Kara Zor-El's latest silver-screen project is DC Studios' first misfire. It's not terrible by any means, but I left my screening with a tangible pang of what could have been if the movie had actually done right by its source material. Kar...

Oura Ring 5 review: a luxury smart ring for discreet everyday wellness tracking that’s (almost) easy to forget you’re wearing

Image
Oura Ring 5: Two minute review I've been going around in circles writing this Oura Ring 5 review. On the one hand, I find the health insights equally fascinating and motivating just like the best smart rings , and its discreet design is without a doubt comfortable to wear all day long. But it's worth noting that Oura has been facing increasing backlash after deepening its partnership with the Department of Defense in the US last year, which is something ethically-conscious buyers may want to look into before purchasing. That said, its ability to track more than 50 health and wellness metrics, such as sleep quality and stress levels, is undeniably enticing for anyone wanting to be more aware of their body — and the launch of this newest model brought a whole host of new insights. What I will say is that the Oura app does try to include a lot of context about how these measurements can be i...
