Founder and Advocate Individual & Family Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Fantastic CRM Software 10/10" February 21, 2026 5.0 What I love most about Nutshell is the interface - it’s clean, intuitive, and genuinely easy to use. From the moment I logged in, everything felt logical and straightforward, without the overwhelm that comes with many other CRMs. I was able to get fully set up in less than a day, which says a lot about how well it’s designed. There’s no steep learning curve, no endless tutorials required - just a system that makes sense straight away. It allows me to focus on running my business rather than figuring out software, and that simplicity is what really sets it apart. Pros Nutshell is adding AI in a way that truly makes sense - especially with automatic transcripts and call logging. It’s not just a gimmick; it’s practical, accurate, and incredibly helpful. Being able to search transcripts, review summaries, and see calls automatically logged gives me confidence that every interaction is documented properly. It’s modern CRM done right. Cons If I was being a bit picky, I’d say I sometimes wish I could customise the transcript formatting just a little more - maybe adjust spacing or highlight sections differently. But that’s genuinely nit-picking, because the feature itself works flawlessly.

Nutshell was easy and I have found it to be the best CRM for my niche business Switched from [Less Annoying CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/118921/Less-Annoying-CRM/) Because I needed a CRM that fitted in with Dialpad - as I had already purchased this. Review Source Daniel N. SVP of Business Development Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Wish we had found Nutshell sooner" December 17, 2025 5.0 Nutshell has been a significant upgrade from our previous CRM. We can use the features without constantly feeling nickel-and-dimed. Yes there are features you have to pay extra for, but the base plans include more than their competitors. Pros I love all the automation that we have been able to incorporate into the CRM, Pipeline, and back office operations team. Nutshell has allowed us to streamline processes. Nutshell includes many features at no additional charge, saving us money because we do not need to purchase them from other companies. Customer Support is USA-based and usually prompt. We manage newsletters, drip campaigns, follow-up sales emails, as well as pipeline and CRM, all in one tool. Cons It lacks a feature to create your own workflow from scratch. Nutshell would be better if it had a more user friendly mobile app. Alternatives considered [HubSpot Marketing Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/171840/HubSpot-Marketing/)[HubSpot Sales Hub](https://www.capterra.com/p/214215/HubSpot-SalesHub/)[HubSpot CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/152373/HubSpot-CRM/) Reason for choosing Nutshell The cost was more attractive and we got more users without having to pay user by user. Switched from [Constant Contact](https://www.capterra.com/p/31898/Constant-Contact/) Features, benefits and cost. Nutshell offered more value. Review Source KM Kymberly M. Director Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "In a nutshell, literally" April 10, 2026 5.0 I love the experience I am having with nutshell. It was easy to load my contact, organize and begin using. Ive used other platforms and this is the best one by far. Pros Email management feature, customer support consistency, user friendly, value for my money. Im obsessed with the board feature where I am able to see all of my contacts and keep organized on follow ups and communication. Cons So far, I have not run into anything I have not liked about nutshell. I am amazed at how well I became accustomed to using the platform and how easy the transition was from other CRM tools. Switched from [Jira](https://www.capterra.com/p/19319/JIRA/)[monday.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/147657/monday-com/)[Asana](https://www.capterra.com/p/184581/Asana-PM/) The other platforms were too complicated, not user friendly. It was stressful just to set up. The complexities of the platform and set up felt like another job role within itself. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Marketing Director Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for retail, not for service companies" December 18, 2025 3.0 Overall, it has worked for what we have needed it these last few years. We have outgrown the capabilities and have explored other options as this is not built for a service company (as told to us by our support team at Nutshell). This is built for retail, and any solution we have asked to have implemented has been met with "Nutshell isn't built for that, why would you want to do that" and it just doesn't fit our needs anymore. Pros All in one platform for leads and email management. It is nice to be able to contact people directly from the lead pages. Cons UI, support (lack of), reporting limitations and inaccurate data, minimal options for customizing email sequences simply Review Source Brittany S. Senior Technical Editor Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Highly Recommended!!" December 17, 2025 5.0 Good from beginning to present! The support options are fantastic, and the value for what we're paying annually is excellent. We're a small business, and I don't ever feel that the service we receive differs from big companies or those with large portfolios. I highly recommend Nutshell. Pros Ease of use. Nutshell has been easy to use from day one. Reports are easy to run and Leads are easy to create and close/Win. It's easy to sort through many contacts and groups and the onboarding process was fantastic. My employer moved from an in-house CRM to Nutshell earlier this year. The transition team was supportive and helpful. No question was out of the question. We felt comfortable getting to know the program. The trial provided before our decision purchase was perfect, and all the items we added during the trial carried over into the live program. Cons My only complaint is that sometimes features change. This seems to be announced beforehand, and feedback is requested afterward. But I do wish some changes were optional rather than mandatory.

And the cost. Review Source Patrick G. Chief Drinking Officer Food & Beverages Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Best bang for your buck CRM for small businesses!" December 18, 2025 5.0 I chose Nutshell after exploring more than a dozen CRM platforms when HubSpot priced me out of their market. Nutshell was the only platform that provided me with all the features I needed, without the bloat, at a price point that seemed too good to be true. Setup and implementation were simple, and it has become an integral part of my sales and contact management workflow. Nutshell is also committed to improving the platform with new features, a better UI, and excellent customer support. Whenever I have an issue, they respond promptly and work until the issue is resolved. But I rarely have a problem with it. It's fantastic. Pros I love that it has all the features my small business needs without the exorbitant price tag of platforms like HubSpot. More importantly, I'm not stuck paying for extra features and functionality that I don't need. Cons Limited options to use Zapier to create automations across software tools. I would love to see them expose more of the fields and functions of Nutshell so that I can build more useful automations to support my workflow.

Switched from [HubSpot CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/152373/HubSpot-CRM/) Hubspot was too expensive and bloated with features I didn't need. Review Source Samantha C. Marketing Specialist Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "SonarMD x Nutshell" December 21, 2025 4.0 Overall, we have had a good experience with Nutshell and appreciate the efforts to solve problems in a timely fashion when they arrive and adapt functions if we have a product improvement suggestion. Pros Nutshell is fairly easy to use, even for people who are not familiar with CRM services. I like that there has been an uptick in customization features which has helped us adapt the pipeline in the most efficient way for the sales team. Cons Sometimes it is difficult to pull reporting information and then to have that be cross functional with Excel. I also wish we would get a weekly activity summary. Alternatives considered [Salesforce Sales Cloud](https://www.capterra.com/p/61368/Salesforce/) Reason for choosing Nutshell Pricing was the most critical factor as we are a smaller company. Review Source RB Roderick B. Director Owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Roderick Review" February 9, 2026 5.0 Fabulous. Great service and superb product. Happy to recommend this anywhere I go in the future to my clients and colleagues. Pros Great service from \[sensitive content hidden\] and the team at nutshell who were patient and very friendly and helped resolve my issues. Cons The fact I cannot use the WhatsApp integration in the UK - at the moment the section which allows marketing via WhatsApp is not yet available in the UK. Alternatives considered [HubSpot CRM](https://www.capterra.com/p/152373/HubSpot-CRM/) Reason for choosing Nutshell Easier to use and very flexible and helpful Switched from [Microsoft Excel](https://www.capterra.com/p/176574/Excel/) Better call rate. Lead tracking software and overall flexibility Review Source VA Victoria A. Director of Marketing and Sales Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Thrilled with Nutshell" January 31, 2026 5.0 Has been enjoyable from the start, responsive and effective team that listens and presents solutions for our business. Pros Clean interface, user friendly, easy for my team to import data, excellent support, fast to respond, cost effective. Cons Only positives to report, everyone is happy with the functionality and care of the support team, it's great. Alternatives considered [ClickUp](https://www.capterra.com/p/158833/ClickUp/) Reason for choosing Nutshell Best solution from a variety of different perspectives Switched from [Pipedrive](https://www.capterra.com/p/132666/Pipedrive/) Underserved in client support, inefficient team Review Source AA Alex A. Peer support specialist, drug and alcohol counselor Mental Health Care Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Nutshell review " April 4, 2026 4.0 Had a really good overall experience with nutshell, I would highly recommend to a friend or fellow colleague Pros Was a big fan of the team collaboration lead management email management customer support and security. This was worth every penny. Cons Had really no issues with everything if I had to pinpoint one thing I disliked about everything would probably be the user interface other than that, it was top-notch Review Source VR Verified Reviewer VP Of Investments Real Estate Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nutshell has grate customer service, product is easy to understand, and it is price very well- very flexible terms" December 17, 2025 4.0 Overall, we don't regret choosing to be with Nutshell as our CRM. Data management and sales performance monitoring is reliable. We were more focused on what really matters Pros Great Customer Service Experience- easy to reach out and very friendly. App is really easy to understand so despite the complex business process, we were able to tweak it and make it fit to our needs. It is also not overly price- i'd say it's on our sweet spot. Cons We are somehow bothered by how data redundancy is approached, detected or managed especially when you are uploading by batch- it is tough. Data filtering and Sorting is quite limited so im hoping that they will improve that.

Digital Media Systems Lead Leisure, Travel & Tourism Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Nutshell is a huge part of our business productivity!" May 14, 2025 4.0 Everyone on the team has been super helpful. The support is incredibly prompt for a fairly small company and they are always open to feedback. Pros Super intuitive platform. Fairly customizable platform for our B2C business. As a small business its important to us to have an affordable platform that suits as many needs as possible. Cons A lot of the features that would be super beneficial to our company are behind a pay wall and are charged in USD which isn't your fault but as a Canadian it's difficult to justify.

Review Source MV Madeline V. Director of Business Development Hospital & Health Care Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Fits our needs, with a few unnecessary steps" May 7, 2025 4.0 Overall, it is better than another solution we beta tested. It isn't my preferred email platform, however, it does have good tracking for CRM, which email platforms largely lack. I would love if the email platform could catch up with other software! Pros It is pretty easy to use. The interface is detailed but clear. It covers the bases for what we need for a CRM and the way we do business. Cons There are a few extra steps that I would personally remove for the tasks I use Nutshell for, including sending newsletters and regular communications. Also, the email builder is a bit clunky. For example, I have to add a new block to put a bulleted list in. I don't see why that can't exist within the text box. When I add content, I have to cut and paste and edit in a way that pulls out lists. The lists are also not very editable, meaning I can't adjust how they appear, indent, etc. the way I can in a marketing email platform. Switched from [Copper](https://www.capterra.com/p/141642/Copper/) Copper did not meet our needs. It was harder to use, more expensive, and didn't integrate the way we wanted with Outlook. Review Source Response from Nutshell May 9, 2025 Thank you for sharing your review of Nutshell, Madeline! We're glad to hear how Nutshell is helping you track customers and leads! I've shared your feedback about our email marketing features with our product team, as we're always striving to make Nutshell the best CRM for our customers.

Senior Business Consultant Telecommunications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Excellent CRM" May 14, 2025 5.0 Pros Nutshel is a strong contender in the productivity and AI-assistance space, particularly for users who need to process information quickly and efficiently. It’s not perfect, but its speed, accuracy, and ease of use make it a valuable tool—especially if you frequently deal with dense or repetitive content. Cons Overall, its perfect but if your team make some changes in dashboard and make it to be more simplified dashboard it will be awsome. Review Source DC Dan C. COO Wholesale Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great Program!" May 9, 2025 5.0 Love it. Its nice to see not only all the support but monthly webinars and other helpful tools to help me maximize the use of the tools Pros I enjoy the ease of use for a non tech person. The layout is very user friendly. Support is great and very helpful! Cons This might be more on me than the program but it wasn't easy to figure out how to do repeat sales in the pipeline. Alternatives considered [Mailchimp](https://www.capterra.com/p/110228/MailChimp/) Reason for choosing Nutshell It had more functionality for about the same price point. Review Source Andrew A. Associate Director of Operations Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use, user-friendly, great customizations!" December 17, 2025 5.0 I’ve been using Nutshell for a couple years now, first as a general user and now an admin too. It gets daily use from me and not having it would make my life so much more needlessly difficult. It truly solves a lot of minor problems and makes managing the larger issues much simpler. Having it interface with our existing system is amazing and saves a ton of time and expense for not having to migrate things from a legacy system. Pros How easy to use and onboard new employees, the overall level of customization available especially for integrating with our existing systems, and the short overall learning curve to use and customize it for our needs. Cons There’s really nothing to dislike from my end, it’s really easy to use and more importantly really easy to customize so that we rarely run into issues with it and when we do, it’s a user issue and not a platform issue. I honestly wish every other software was this well thought out! Review Source SL Stefan L. Sales Manager Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great tool for lead and customer management for small business" December 17, 2025 4.0 As part of the sales staff at a small business I enjoy working with Nutshell, it is straightforward to onboard and operate and performs its job as a CRM admirably. I would like to deepen our company\`s use of Nutshell\`s different tools internally and hope to bring the b2b marketing function over to Nutshell as an example. We also value it for lead management. Pros The ease of setup and use, the facility in onboarding new team members and the ability to go deeper with their tools. Cons In the basic plan more premium features are teased unnecessarily and ideally sales pipeline email follow ups would be part of the basic plan. It can be difficult to convince other parts of the business like Marketing to move away from their tools to Review Source LE Logan E. Digital Marketing Manager Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple, Effective CRM That Delivers" December 24, 2025 5.0 Overall, we’ve been very happy with Nutshell. It’s easy to use, widely adopted by our sales team, and supports consistent execution without unnecessary complexity. The platform does exactly what we need it to do and provides strong value for the business. Pros Nutshell is easy to use, quick to adopt, and well suited for teams that want a CRM to support selling rather than become a project to manage. Pipelines are clear and customizable, activity tracking is straightforward, and managers get solid visibility into performance without heavy reporting or admin work. Cons Because Nutshell is intentionally simple, it may not offer the depth of customization or advanced reporting found in larger enterprise CRMs. Organizations with highly complex workflows or heavy automation requirements may eventually outgrow it, even though that same simplicity is what makes it effective for day-to-day sales execution. Review Source BC Brook C. Partner Financial Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### ""Intuitive UI, Clever Features, a CRM I don't hate"" December 19, 2025 5.0 We're big fans of the product and rely on it to run many parts of our business. The mobile app allows for on-the-go solutions, email integrations are powerful for historical context, and it's highly intuitive to use versus legacy competitors. We can see in real-time across devices which opportunities are advancing and where others were left behind. Pros I think Nutshell's highlights include its UX/UI, efficiency of workflows, strong email and other integrations, and mobile app quality. It is soooo much more intuitive than the "leading" CRMs. Cons It's still a a CRM, I wish the search function was more comprehensive, and I'd love to be able to sync with other MSFT products like OneNote and Teams. Review Source MM Maggie M. Business Development Coordinator Airlines/Aviation Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great overall!" December 17, 2025 4.0 Overall it's pretty positive, with some bugs and small room for improvement (I'd love to see a way to label and describe different phone numbers, websites, etc on the right side of a company account) Pros I like the duplicate feature that lets you know if you have similar/same names in the system! It's also a lot easier to support customers when you can read the interactions from previous employees. Cons I wish there was less wait time- it takes a while to load sometimes and other times does not load at all (does not happen with other websites) Review Source CT Carrie T. Customer Relations Specialist Construction Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A Game-Changer for Business Growth" December 19, 2025 5.0 Nutshell has been nothing short of exceptional. Since partnering with them a few years ago, our business has experienced significant growth. Every team member we’ve worked with has been knowledgeable, professional, and consistently helpful. Nutshell stays up to date with the latest tools and innovations, which has made a noticeable impact on our success. If you’re looking to grow your business even further, I highly recommend Nutshell. Pros They stay up to date with the newest technology, providing innovative tools and strategies designed to help your business grow and succeed. Cons There is really nothing that I do not like about nutshell, my business has grown by a lot since using them. Review Source KL Kate L.

It has been a reliable, easy-to-use platform that helps keep our sales process organized and efficient without unnecessary complexity. Pros What I liked most about Nutshell CRM is how simple and user-friendly it is while still offering all the tools we need as a small company. The layout is clean and easy to navigate, which made onboarding quick and stress-free. Cons I wish they had more “bundle” packages instead of paying per user. I think this would help a smaller company. Review Source RL Ryan L. Sales Manager Machinery Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use CRM" December 18, 2025 4.0 I enjoy the ease of use of the platform. The help and support you receive with the nutshell team has been really pleasant. Pros I like the flexibility of the platform. The customer service support has been a pleasure to work with as well. Cons Some features do not integrate with our high level of cyber security. The nutshell team looked at creative ways to help accomplish what we were desiring. Review Source SB Susan B. CEO Professional Training & Coaching Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy and intuitive CRM for a small business owner" May 7, 2025 5.0 Positive, invigorating, easy. It's been smooth and customer support is great. Pros It's very easy and intuitive for a small business owner! I was intimidated by some of the CRMs for large enterprise, like Salesforce and HubSpot. Nutshell works the way my mind does. Especially love that we can run campaigns so easily. Cons Wish it had an easier follow up system than me always generating the next step, but that still works. Review Source Response from Nutshell May 9, 2025 Thank you for sharing your positive review of Nutshell, Susan! We're glad to hear how Nutshell is helping you run email campaigns!
