Nutshell IQ vs. ZoomInfo Sales comparison

Many salespeople have turned to ZoomInfo Sales for help generating leads and filling their company’s pipeline. But, with a lack of seamless sales integration, confusing features, and impossibly high pricing, the platform may not be the best solution for every business.

To take your audience 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 matching 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 ZoomInfo Sales side by side to see which platform really delivers the value your team needs.

Sales integration—so you can start building relationships

With ZoomInfo, integrating your CRM will cost you, both to set up and maintain. That makes it that much harder to seamlessly use the insights you uncover in ZoomInfo and turn contact information into real relationships. And isn’t that the point of lead generation software?

Nutshell IQ integrates seamlessly with Nutshell CRM, so once you’ve uncovered the contacts that fit your ideal customer profile, you can unlock and add them to the right sales pipeline in just a few clicks.

From there, contacts will be sent through the sales automation steps you’ve already configured—so you can start sending personal email sequences and nurturing the relationship into a sale. And with Nutshell’s all-in-one platform, you can leverage email marketing, landing pages, and forms to complete the customer journey.

Easy-to-understand plans and features—so you can get back to the important things

ZoomInfo plans are complicated to understand. Plans limit the number of users you can have, contacts each user can unlock, and contact records you can view, copy, and export. Limits on views and exports make it difficult to track how much you’ve spent on a single prospect.

When your sales team has to spend time and energy tracking contact views and exports, it could result in missed sales opportunities.

Nutshell IQ simplifies all of that, so your team can do more selling. Credits can be used across all the prospecting tools included in Nutshell IQ, whether you want to reveal the identity of a website visitor, the contact information of a point of contact, or a prospect. One credit allows you to unlock one contact, add them to Nutshell, and funnel them into the right pipeline—so you don’t have to keep track of views, exports, or other limitations.

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

ZoomInfo doesn’t share their pricing—That’s understandable since Reddit users report base pricing of around $10,000 (or more) for only a few seats. ZoomInfo makes it impossible for you to see whether their product fits into your budget unless you agree to meet with salespeople.

Such a high cost just isn’t feasible for many businesses.

At Nutshell, we make pricing for all our solutions transparent, so you know exactly what you’re going to get. There are no hidden costs or penalties, and you can see for yourself how much our plans and add-ons cost.

All-in-one prospecting 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.

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.
