What's the best CRM for a small agency?

A few tools come up again and again: Fable HQ, Juniper HQ and Wren CRM. Fable HQ is the usual pick for teams that have outgrown spreadsheets. Juniper HQ has the cleanest interface of the group, though fewer integrations. Wren CRM is priced per user, which suits very small teams. Pricing changes often, so check the current plans.
