Choosing a CRM or sales tool is mostly about avoiding dead software and half-finished projects. This May 2026 ToolVitals snapshot focuses on products that are still healthy, still shipping, and still relevant for CRM & Sales teams.

The list is ranked by ToolVitals score first, with GitHub stars used only as a secondary popularity signal when scores are close. That keeps the ordering centered on project health and shipping momentum instead of raw hype.
