For current customers, Zendesk Sell has some strengths and some shortcomings reported by users. As you search for a new solution to your CRM needs, it may be helpful to look for a new CRM with many of the same features as Zendesk Sell to minimize friction during the transition process—but with additional features that will take your company through your next phase of growth.

As Zendesk Sell approaches retirement while the company focuses on its service and support offerings, many businesses are searching for Zendesk CRM alternatives. If you’ve found yourself in this boat, know that Nutshell is here to help. We offer the same essential features as Zendesk with an emphasis on improved automation functions, omnichannel customer engagement and communicative support.
Many organizations chose Zendesk Sell in the first place because its impressive scalable platform is ready to grow with you as your business needs evolve. Its built-in reporting functions help you keep track of all your most important communications, sales, and other data. Zendesk’s site also boasts a responsive support team, which is crucial to brands like yours that are dedicated to constant success and growth.
Despite its great features, Zendesk Sell will soon no longer be available—and many users now have an opportunity to switch to a CRM that offers even greater functionality at an equally affordable price.
Some top concerns customers have had with Zendesk Sell include:
When looking for a Zendesk Sell alternative, Nutshell should be on your radar because, while its core functionality is similar to Zendesk Sell, it goes above and beyond with:

When making CRM comparisons with Zendesk Sell, Nutshell should be at the top of your list. That’s because we offer:
Yes, Nutshell is an excellent fit for Zendesk Sell users. It serves the same types of businesses—B2B sales teams across industries like professional services, manufacturing, tech, and construction. Nutshell offers all the core features you’re used to in Zendesk Sell (pipeline management, contact management, sales automation, reporting) with similar workflows, so your team won’t need to relearn everything from scratch. It supports teams from 5 to 5000+ users, making it scalable for growing businesses just like Zendesk Sell.
Migrating is simple. During your Nutshell trial, navigate to Settings > Import and select “Another CRM” > Zendesk Sell. Nutshell’s one-click importer pulls in your contacts, deals, and activity history automatically. If you’d prefer hands-off help, the Nutshell team offers free white-glove migration services—they’ll handle the entire data transfer for you at no additional cost, ensuring everything is organized correctly before you go live.
Most teams are fully up and running within 24 to 48 hours. The actual data import typically completes in a few hours, and the Nutshell onboarding team helps you configure pipelines, set up integrations, and train your team quickly. For larger or more complex migrations, Nutshell works on your timeline at no extra cost. It starts with a sample import to verify accuracy, then completes the full migration—so you’re not stuck doing tedious manual work.
Start planning now. While Zendesk Sell doesn’t shut down until August 31, 2027, waiting until the last minute creates unnecessary stress and limits your options. Beginning your migration at least 6-12 months before the deadline gives you time to evaluate alternatives, test new systems, and ensure a smooth transition without disrupting your sales process.
Nutshell offers all the same core features as Zendesk Sell—plus additional capabilities like built-in email marketing, landing pages, and web forms—at competitive pricing starting at $13/user/month. Unlike Zendesk Sell, Nutshell doesn’t limit your data storage or charge extra for essential features. You get unlimited contacts, companies, and leads, free live chat support for all customers, and no contracts. We’re transparent about pricing with no hidden fees.
