noCRM.io is a deliberately stripped-down lead-management tool: it tracks leads and next steps without the bloat of a full CRM, priced per seat. Orbit is a simple all-in-one CRM with an AI assistant, Hiro, that drafts follow-ups, writes proposals, and manages tasks on your approval. noCRM keeps lead tracking dead simple. Orbit keeps it simple and drafts the outreach for you.
noCRM.io is honest about what it is not. It avoids the heavy fields and reporting of a full CRM and focuses on one thing: never lose a lead and always have a next step. Leads move through a simple pipeline, each one always has a follow-up reminder, and the interface is fast and uncluttered, perfect for outbound sellers who want to act, not administrate.
For small sales teams and solo sellers who found traditional CRMs bloated, noCRM.io is refreshing. It is quick to learn, hard to neglect, and built so a lead never sits without a defined next action. If your problem is overcomplicated software, noCRM.io is the deliberate cure. Check their site for current per-seat plans.
Both stay simple. One of them also drafts the outreach.

noCRM.io makes sure a lead always has a next step. Orbit makes sure the next step gets drafted. That is the line between the two. In noCRM.io, the reminder is the product, and you do the emailing yourself. In Orbit, one assistant drafts much of it: ask Hiro to write the follow-up email, draft a proposal, or send an invoice reminder once the deal closes, and it returns a draft you approve.
If you are a high-volume outbound seller who lives in the action and prefers to write every touch yourself, noCRM.io may be all you want, and that is a fair call. But if you are a one-person business juggling delivery and sales, the touches pile up, and Orbit's assistant drafts them. Pairing simple lead tracking with AI outreach means a lead never waits on you to find a free hour to write.
Everything stays under approval, and Orbit does not make phone calls. The free plan covers 250 contacts, one pipeline, unlimited tasks, a calendar, notes, a built-in email inbox (100 sends a month), and basic Tables, plus 10 invoices and 10 proposals. Hiro runs on free monthly AI credits, included on every plan, no API key to paste.
noCRM.io makes sure a lead has a next step. Orbit drafts that next step and waits for your yes.
It depends on your volume. If you prefer writing every touch yourself and want a dead-simple lead tracker, noCRM.io fits. If the touches pile up because you also deliver the work, Orbit's assistant, Hiro, drafts the outreach and follow-up for your approval, which clears the backlog a solo seller cannot.
noCRM.io is sold per seat with a free trial rather than a permanent free tier. Check their site for current pricing. Orbit has a free CRM plan with no credit card: 250 contacts, one pipeline, unlimited tasks, and a built-in email inbox. Pro is $14/mo or $112/yr, with an optional 30-day free trial (card required).
The core is just as simple: clean contacts, a pipeline, and GTD-style tasks. The difference is that Orbit's assistant sits on top and offers to draft the outreach for you. You can ignore it entirely or use it when you want, so it stays as light as you like.
It drafts it, with approval. Ask Hiro for a follow-up email, a proposal, or a pitch page, and it returns a draft, but nothing sends until you approve it. noCRM.io leaves the writing entirely to you. Orbit does not make phone calls or run automated prospecting.
AI credits are included free every month on every plan, with no API key to paste and nothing to configure. You can top up with credit packs, and paid plans can bring their own AI key when credits run out.
Orbit's CRM is free, no credit card. Start a 30-day Pro trial (card required), let Hiro draft with the AI credits already included, and approve every draft before it sends.
Free forever plan. No credit card. No spam.
