Nutshell IQ vs. Leadfeeder

For companies looking for prospecting tools, Leadfeeder is a popular option. But with expensive pricing for unlocking contacts and a lack of easy CRM integration and automations, Leadfeeder can only take your company part of the way to achieving its goals.

To go from website visitor to loyal customer, you need an all-in-one prospecting and CRM solution. With Nutshell IQ, you can track the companies visiting your website, customize filters to narrow your search to your ideal buyers and enrich your CRM with contact information for the people and companies who match your search. Then add them to Nutshell in just a few clicks to fill your pipelines, trigger automations, and start closing more sales.

Compare Nutshell IQ and Leadfeeder side by side to determine which platform delivers the prospecting tools your team needs to drive growth.

Sales integration—so you can start building relationships

Finding a new person or business to reach out to is great—but if you can’t build a meaningful relationship, a contact may never become a customer.

With Leadfeeder, if you really want to turn unlocked contacts into customers, you’ll still need to juggle a CRM integration so you can manage customer relationships. But Nutshell IQ’s seamless sales integration makes it easy to start turning new leads into buyers as soon as they hit your pipeline.

All it takes is two clicks to unlock a new contact and add them to one of your custom Nutshell pipelines. From there your sales team can automatically send SMS messages, reach out through email, and start meeting other goals you’ve pre-configured to give leads the best possible experience with your company.

High-powered automation—so you can get back to the important things

Because Leadfeeder is a separate prospecting platform that requires an integration to send contact data to a CRM, the tasks you can automate are pretty limited. Essentially, you can send Leadfeeder data to your CRM and automatically create new leads, but that’s where your automation capabilities come to an end.

Nutshell IQ lets you do both of these things without having to manage an integration. And you can also automate other important sales tasks including:

  • Trigger an automated email drip sequence to send
  • Add new contacts to an email list and start sending them marketing campaigns
  • Share your meeting scheduler link to get a meeting on your contact’s calendar
  • Start tracking every touchpoint with your new lead through your Nutshell timelines
  • Assign a confidence level to your lead

Transparent, affordable pricing—so you know exactly what you’re getting

The pricing tier for the Leadfeeder paid plan is based on your company’s website traffic—not actual leads you identify and want to start reaching out to. That means if Leadfeeder identifies 1,000 visitors coming to your website, you’ll be charged for all 1,000, even if only 300 are actually qualified leads you can approach. That’s not even considering visitors that Leadfeeder could wrongly identify.

Since pricing is based on the total monthly website visitors identified, getting even one more visitor to your site could cause your bill to jump significantly, whether or not that visitor was actually a good fit. With the paid plan starting at $99 per month for 100 credits, it could be very costly to generate new leads that are truly ideal for your business.

With Nutshell IQ, the power of identifying potential customers for your company is in your hands. You get to set up powerful filters that sift through your website traffic and our ProspectorIQ database to identify only the opportunities that match your ideal customer profile, so you never have to pay for visitors or contacts who aren’t the right fit.

And when you find an opportunity that looks great, you can choose whether to unlock the contact and use one of your credits—we won’t do it for you. That way you’re in complete control of the new people and companies you’re adding to your pipelines, and how much you spend identifying them.

Nutshell IQ pricing starts out at $37 per month for up to 100 credits you can use however you want—to unlock new website visitors (using VisitorIQ), identify people working for the businesses you already know about (through PeopleIQ), or reveal new contacts from your prospecting efforts in Nutshell (with the help of ProspectorIQ).

All-in-one prospecting and sales solution—for simpler lead generation

Nutshell IQ is our complete suite of prospecting tools, giving you access to:

  • ProspectorIQ: Fill your pipelines with more ideal customers from our prospecting database of over 200 million contacts.
  • VisitorIQ: Uncover visitors to your website from companies you don’t yet have in Nutshell.
  • PeopleIQ: Discover the contact information of people you don’t know about who work for the companies you do.

Together, these three tools help you identify businesses that are already interested in your offerings, locate the people who work there, and unlock contact information so you can reach out and take advantage of new opportunities.

And because your prospecting toolkit is built right into your CRM, you can add new contacts to your sales pipeline in just a couple of clicks, with no need to export to a totally different platform or configure an integration. You can also easily track interactions with new contacts as soon as you add them to Nutshell.

Plus, Nutshell gives you additional solutions like email marketing, landing page creation, a meeting scheduler, and more to help you complete the customer journey.

Sales can be a hard game. With Nutshell IQ, you have the home-court advantage.
