Nutshell Campaigns stands above ConvertKit for its:
ConvertKit is an email marketing platform primarily made for individual creators, such as bloggers, podcasters, YouTubers, and course creators.
Nutshell Campaigns is the email marketing add-on for Nutshell, the all-in-one CRM that helps businesses close more deals. Nutshell Campaigns connects seamlessly to your CRM data to help you connect with customers at every stage of your marketing funnel.
With essential email marketing features like a drag-and-drop email editor, powerful audience segmentation, and multi-email drip sequences, plus advanced solutions like an AI writing assistant, Nutshell Campaigns is built to help you turn subscribers into buyers.
Want to get more of your marketing team in your CRM and email marketing platform but don’t want to pay for an entire CRM seat? If you have Nutshell Pro or above, you get three marketing-only seats in Nutshell—for absolutely free!
If you’re looking for a good email marketing platform, you may be considering ConvertKit. However, since ConvertKit was made with solopreneurs in mind, it lacks features that can help connect a larger team—and boost your company’s growth.
Nutshell is the ConvertKit alternative that offers a one-stop shop for your customer relationship management, sales, and email marketing operations. Plus, Nutshell Campaigns is priced for your entire company.
Take a look at these email marketing platforms side by side to see for yourself why Nutshell Campaigns comes out on top.
Knowing what messaging to use to push your email subscribers toward a sale is incredibly important for optimizing your marketing strategy. And your messaging depends on where that subscriber is in your sales funnel.
Nutshell Campaigns works seamlessly with Nutshell, so you can easily create marketing audiences from your CRM contacts based on any combination of attributes. Send automated email drip sequences to reach out to new leads, target lost customers with a win-back campaign, and more—then let Nutshell Campaigns handle the sending.
Need to see how your marketing emails impact leads? Since Nutshell Campaigns is built directly into Nutshell, you can go to your Lead timelines to see who opened an email and how many times, plus what links they clicked, so you see exactly how your marketing efforts help drive sales.
ConvertKit won’t provide the same level of sales integration. Sure, you could connect it to a CRM (using third-party integration only available on the Pro plan and above). But then you’re just juggling another subscription.
Getting your entire marketing team on your email marketing platform is critical for maximizing your success. However, since ConvertKit was mainly created for solopreneurs, it has a limit on the number of users who can access the platform. The paid Creator plan allows you to add only one extra user, and if you want to add more users, it comes at double the cost for the Creator Pro plan.
Nutshell Campaigns lets you add as many marketing seats as you want. So you can give everyone access to the marketing and sales data that will improve decision-making and help you convert subscribers into buyers.
Email click notifications let you know when a user clicks a link in your email newsletter, broadcast, or drip campaign. The feature helps your team identify the most interested contacts right away so you can get in touch with them as soon as possible.
In Nutshell Campaigns, you can set up email click notifications to send to different teammates when specific links are clicked. For example, enable notifications to your marketing director when someone clicks on a webinar signup link and to your social media marketer when they click on your social links—so you can seize the opportunity to reach out.
But with ConvertKit, even basic reporting functionality is hidden behind a paywall on the most expensive plan, Creator Pro.
AI has immense power to make your team more efficient. And Nutshell Campaigns customers can harness its ability to accomplish more in less time.
Use the AI writing assistant in Nutshell Campaigns to correct grammar mistakes in your email campaigns, automatically change the tone, use active voice, and even translate your content to another language—all with a single click.

Some email providers will force you to add their logo to your emails unless you are over a certain monthly spend—not Nutshell Campaigns.
