I’m just starting my search and looking for a free CRM. Any recommendations?

I've been using ETA IQ and liking it: www.etaiq.com. Their CRM has a built-in financial model specifically for Search acquisitions. I initially tried Hubspot, but got annoyed with all the upfront configuration, bells & whistles I didn't need.

Hi Devony - I have a "stack" that works very well. I use the free version of HubSpot (although I do pay for one of their options that allows me to brand some things). It does everything I need. I have it integrated directly with Outlook, Calendly, Zoom, LinkedIn (via LinkMatch - paid), and Fathom notetaker. Anything and everything I do with contacts, Zoom calls, and more, is all within the free version of HubSpot.
