When we talk about CRM software, we first think of the Salesforce and Hubspot of this world. But not only are these solutions often too cumbersome to install & maintain, they are also generally quite poorly translated, and with a rough customer support (when it exists!). Fortunately, there is also CRM software made in France, by French people, and in French. 🐓
In this article, we present the main French CRM software.
Sommaire
#1 NoCRM
Founded in 2014, NoCRM is growing exponentially and already equips nearly 10,000 sales people (mainly SMEs). NoCRM’s success is international: the French start-up generates 70% of its turnover abroad and has made its solution available in 7 languages!
The tool aims to allow salespeople to focus their efforts on prospecting and to gain in efficiency. Very easy to use, the lead management interface is similar to an Excel spreadsheet, which has been considerably improved to allow the input of actions and the monitoring of the evolution of leads via a Kanban view.
NoCRM’s offer is based on two formulas:
- The “Starter Edition” dedicated to micro-businesses, at €10 per user per month, which includes all the opportunity tracking features.
- The Expert Edition, at €16 per user per month, which allows you to go further in team management, outbound actions and after-sales follow-up.

The Axonaut adventure started in 2017 in Toulouse and under the name of Rocket ERP with the desire to simplify the management of French SMEs. Since then, the company has grown rapidly and has celebrated its 20,000th user, its next challenge is to conquer new international markets!
Axonaut is defined as an all-in-one ERP for SMEs: Sales management, estimates & invoices, cash flow and accounting, everything is there! The idea of the tool is to preserve an intuitive ergonomics in order to guarantee a high adoption rate. The CRM module and the customer support are more than convincing, with a small limitation on the still limited prospecting campaigns.
Axonaut’s positioning corresponds to its target and remains affordable for SMEs by offering a quality tool.

#9 Simple CRM
Simple CRM wants to bring novelty around CRM through the extensive use of Artificial Intelligence across its tools. Since 2015, the Simple CRM team has been developing an AI solution called HaPPi, which can be found in several aspects of the software:
- Voice recognition,
- Detection of potential customers,
- Gamification and strategic advice
All these elements are optimised by HaPPi in order to allow commercial organisations to pass a milestone in terms of productivity and to better structure themselves.

#10 Youday
Unlike the American giants such as Salesforce or Oracle, which are long and difficult to deploy, Youday is adapted to human-sized structures: easy to set up and use! From opportunity management to expense reports and after-sales service follow-up, the tool is very complete and can handle all your customer management needs.
The same applies to the offers proposed: no module-based operation, all the features highlighted are available in your subscription. You will have to count between 40 € HT/month/users and 60 € HT/month/users according to the number of users concerned.
Here is what we can share with you about the 10 best (in our opinion) French CRM software. We are fortunate to see some very nice tools being developed in our country, it would be a shame not to give them a fair shake and prefer the American giants without hesitation!
