When you integrate your CRM and meeting scheduling software, keeping track of lead and customer interactions is easy. Nutshell Scheduler offers you this and more, giving you access to a host of tools to boost business revenue and growth. The best part is that Nutshell Scheduler is native to the Nutshell CRM platform, so there’s no need for third-party integrations.
Nutshell Scheduler outshines SimplyBook.me in the following ways:
SimplyBook.Me is an online event and appointment booking tool that offers various custom scheduling-related features as add-ons at different pricing tiers. Some of the custom add-ons on offer include calendar syncing, custom form fields, and group bookings.
Nutshell Scheduler is an innovative meeting scheduler built into Nutshell, the leading all-in-one CRM solution created to help teams improve efficiency and close more deals. With Nutshell Scheduler, you have direct access to Nutshell’s wealth of CRM tools and customer contact information. That means engaging with your leads and customers is easier than ever, regardless of where they are in your sales funnel.
Use Nutshell Scheduler to book product demos, customer sales calls, team meetings, and more straight from your Nutshell interface. Embed the scheduler on your website or a landing page, or share the link via email or social media to invite attendees. You can also attach a custom form to gather more information about your prospects and send attendees automated emails and reminders.
With Nutshell Scheduler, you can look forward to hassle-free scheduling and turn meetings and appointments into opportunities to grow your business.
Your search for the best online scheduling tool may have revealed several options, including SimplyBook.me. However, the need to add custom feature add-ons for optimal functionality and the lack of integration with your sales platform may make SimplyBook.me less than ideal.
These are just some of the reasons why Nutshell Scheduler makes a great SimplyBook.me alternative. It offers advanced sales integration and all the appointment management features you need to schedule events in an easy-to-use tool. Plus, you’ll only need to pay one low flat rate for your entire team to use Nutshell Scheduler, with no additional costs, making it an affordable alternative.
Let’s examine the Nutshell Scheduler and SimplyBook.me features head to head and see how they compare.
As a tool native to the Nutshell platform, Nutshell Scheduler gives you access to a complete overview of the relationships you’ve built with leads and customers through appointments and events. When you embed your scheduler into Nutshell Forms through your CRM, you can capture crucial information about your prospects to understand their needs.
All contact information gathered via your web form will be sent to Nutshell to automatically create a Person or Company record. Each contact record includes detailed information about the contact and a timeline showing every interaction with the contact. You can also instruct Nutshell to add new contacts that meet specific criteria to a sales pipeline for nurturing.
Nutshell Scheduler lets you assign a standard or custom activity type to your event, so you can track these activities in your Nutshell activity report. It’s the perfect way to track meeting and call targets and monitor team productivity.
If you choose SimplyBook.me as your meeting scheduler and want to pair it with your CRM software for sales integration, you’ll need a third-party app like Zapier to make that happen. Bear in mind, though, that you’d need a Zapier and CRM subscription to achieve an effective integration.
When searching for the best online meeting scheduler, there are certain features you expect as a standard. Some of these essential features include calendar syncing, adding forms for data collection, co-hosting functionality, and the ability to facilitate group bookings.
When you select Nutshell Scheduler as your online meeting scheduler, you can enjoy all these features and many more. You’ll also have access to powerful email marketing tools, allowing you to set up email drip sequence campaigns to engage with attendees and nurture long-term relationships.
Best of all, you’ll get these features at no additional cost—all you need is the Nutshell CRM with your Nutshell Scheduler tool built in, and you’ll have a world of features and opportunities at your fingertips.
SimplyBook.me offers these features, too, but at an additional cost. They’re called custom add-ons, and each pricing tier, except for the most expensive plan, allows for a very limited number—anything beyond this, you’ll have to pay extra for. For instance, the Basic plan only gives you access to a maximum of three features, and the Standard plan allows you no more than eight.
At some point, every member of your organization will need to book a meeting or event with a customer, teammate, or vendor. The Nutshell team understands this, which is why the Nutshell Scheduler price is one flat rate of $37 per month for use by your whole company, not per user.
This cost includes all the meeting management features you might need. You won’t need to pay anything extra to access basic scheduling essentials, like multiple location support, activity reports, and embedding on your website.
With SimplyBook.me, you’ll have your pick of three paid plans and a free plan with very limited functionality. Pricing begins at $8.25 per month, billed annually, and includes a maximum of five users. For $24.90 per month, billed annually, you can opt for the next plan up, which gives you no more than 15 users.
That means you’re limited to a small number of users per plan and a restricted number of monthly attendees. In other words, the more team members you want to add, the more it will cost.
SimplyBook.me applies booking limits to each plan, meaning you’re limited to a certain number of monthly bookings or meeting attendees. For instance, those on the Basic plan are limited to 100 bookings per month, while Standard plan members have a maximum of 500 bookings available. In addition, bookings are limited to 99 attendees per user, and each plan has user limits.
These restrictions may not be ideal for large teams collaborating regularly or sales reps hosting daily live demos for multiple prospects at a time.
With Nutshell Scheduler, you’re not limited by the number of bookings you can create or attendees you can invite, so you can meet with everyone you want to engage with whenever you need to.
