Nutshell named a Finalist for Best Small Business CRMs by CRM.org
-
Nutshell was just named a Finalist for Best CRM for Small Business in CRM.org’s 2026 CRMmys awards.
The CRMmys aren’t an in-house editor’s pick or a pay-to-play banner. They’re scored by an independent panel of working CRM consultants — the people who configure these systems for real businesses every week — against fixed criteria: ease of use, pipeline management, integrations, SMB-friendly pricing, and automation.
Out of ten CRMs in the category, Nutshell landed in the Finalist tier, the second-highest recognition behind only the winner. We ranked ahead of every Selection-tier product, including HubSpot.
I care most about why the judges put us there. As panelist Robert DeSio of Capital S Consulting put it: “Strong recognition, focused on simplicity and exclusively on owner-led and lean teams.”

That’s the whole point of Nutshell. Small B2B teams don’t need enterprise complexity — they need a CRM their reps will actually use. So we built visual pipelines and sales automation you can set up in minutes and additional features that don’t take a PhD in CRM to use. We give every customer free live human support, migrate your data at no cost, and keep pricing transparent, starting at $13 per user per month.
A panel of people who implement CRMs for a living looked at all of that and said it works. That means more than anything we could say about ourselves.
