Nutshell — Free Trial for Startups

Deal Highlights

Nutshell — CRM That Does Not Feel Like a CRM

Nutshell is a CRM and email marketing platform built for small businesses that want powerful sales tools without the complexity of Salesforce or the limitations of spreadsheets. With an unusually intuitive interface, built-in email sequences, and pipeline automation, Nutshell helps sales teams close more deals with less admin work.

Why Most CRMs Get Abandoned

82% of small businesses that buy a CRM stop using it within 6 months. The reason: data entry friction. Nutshell reduces this with automatic lead capture from web forms, email syncing that logs conversations without manual entry, and one-click actions that update deals without navigating through menus.

Sales Pipeline Management

Multiple pipeline views — board, list, map, and chart — let you see your deals the way that makes sense for your process. Pipeline automation moves deals forward based on activities, automatically assigns leads based on territory or round-robin, and sends alerts when deals go stale.

Email Marketing Built In

Unlike most CRMs that require separate email tools, Nutshell includes email drip sequences, broadcast campaigns, and newsletter tools. Design emails with the drag-and-drop builder, segment your audience by CRM data, and track opens, clicks, and conversions — all without leaving Nutshell.

Nutshell vs Pipedrive

Pipedrive is pipeline-focused with a clean kanban interface. Nutshell is broader — combining CRM, email marketing, and web forms in one platform. Pipedrive requires Mailchimp or similar for email campaigns. Nutshell handles everything natively.

Nutshell vs HubSpot

HubSpot Free CRM is powerful but limited — you need paid Marketing Hub ($800+/month) for email automation. Nutshell includes email marketing, sequences, and drip campaigns starting at $16/user/month. For startups that need CRM + email in one affordable tool, Nutshell wins.
