Our verdict: Close takes it (9.3 vs 8.9). If your team lives on the phone, nothing beats Close. Calling that other CRMs charge extra for is standard here. That said, pick Nutshell if your priority is simple crm + email in one — crm that your team will actually use — pipelines, automation and email marketing together.
Choose Close if…
- Closing deals faster is your main goal
- Calling, SMS & email native — no add-ons
- Fastest workflow of any CRM we tested
Choose Nutshell if…
- Simple CRM + email in one is your main goal
- Very fast to learn
- Email marketing included
