Nutshell

What is Nutshell?

Nutshell is a CRM built for SMBs and B2B sales teams that want serious pipeline and automation tools without the complexity of enterprise platforms like Salesforce. Its Power AI tier adds AI timeline summarization (condensing months of emails and calls into quick briefings), AI-assisted email reply drafting, Zoom call transcription and summaries, and lead scoring with explainable "next best action" recommendations, so reps understand why the system suggests a given follow-up. Core features across all plans include drag-and-drop pipeline management, unlimited contacts and storage, sales automation, and free live human support with data migration included at every tier — unusual for this price range. Add-ons like VisitorIQ (website visitor tracking) and ProspectorIQ (AI-powered prospecting) extend it further for teams that want lead generation built into the same platform. Nutshell has been named a G2 Leader in CRM every quarter since 2020, and it's best suited for small to mid-size B2B teams — particularly those managing longer-term account relationships — who want AI features included in the plan rather than sold as a separate expensive add-on.
