About Nutshell

Nutshell is a sales CRM for small and mid-sized B2B teams. It covers contacts, companies, pipelines with stage guidance, automated lead assignment, email sync and sequences, a built-in calling tool and reporting, with optional add-ons for email marketing and form-based lead capture. The company emphasises approachability: plans include live support from real people, and there are no hidden setup fees. Compared with HubSpot or Salesforce, it is quicker to learn and cheaper at small team sizes, while offering more structure and automation than the simplest CRMs. Its integration catalogue is smaller than the big players', and marketing features cost extra, so teams wanting advanced marketing will hit limits. Pricing is per user per month across several plans, with discounts for annual billing and a 14-day free trial; there is no free plan. It runs in the browser with iOS and Android apps. It suits small sales teams that want a capable CRM without the complexity of enterprise tools.

Best for: Small B2B sales teams that want structure without enterprise complexity.
