SideKik
A CRM built for one-person and small businesses that pulls every customer message — email, WhatsApp, Facebook, LinkedIn, website form, text — into a single dashboard, so nothing falls through the cracks when you're the only one answering.

Description
When you're running a small business alone or with a couple of people, customer questions come in everywhere at once — a WhatsApp message here, a Facebook comment there, an email you meant to reply to yesterday. Most CRM software is built for sales teams with dedicated staff to manage it; SideKik is built for the opposite case, where one person needs a single place to see every enquiry and make sure none of them get missed.
SideKik centralizes customer enquiries from email, WhatsApp, Facebook, LinkedIn, website contact forms, and SMS text messages into one dashboard, automatically converting each incoming message into a tracked lead rather than requiring manual entry. It's aimed specifically at small business owners and sole traders — freelancers, tradespeople, solo consultants — rather than sales teams, with a free plan available to get started before any paid tiers apply.
💬 Our review
The short version: if you're a sole trader or very small business currently juggling five different inboxes to talk to customers, SideKik's whole value is collapsing that into one screen — worth trying on the free plan before deciding if a paid tier is needed.
Against a general CRM like HubSpot's free tier, SideKik's edge is being purpose-built around omnichannel enquiry capture (WhatsApp and Facebook specifically) rather than being a scaled-down version of an enterprise sales tool with features a solo operator will never use. The honest limitation is that detailed paid pricing isn't published anywhere accessible, which makes it hard to judge value versus alternatives without signing up first, and it's a young, narrowly-scoped product compared to more established small-business CRMs like Dubsado or Housecall Pro that also handle invoicing and scheduling. If all you need is enquiry capture and lead tracking across messaging channels, it does that one job cleanly; if you also need invoicing, scheduling, or contracts, you'll likely need a second tool alongside it.
