Integrating your meeting scheduler tool with your CRM is a customer relationship game-changer. Nutshell Scheduler does more than simplify client bookings—it helps you turn appointments into tangible business growth. And Nutshell Scheduler is built right into Nutshell, so you don’t have to rely on a third-party CRM integration.
Nutshell Scheduler wins over Zoho Bookings for its:
Zoho Bookings is Zoho’s scheduling software tool. Zoho Bookings includes features like appointment scheduling, availability management, and booking reminder emails.
Nutshell Scheduler is the native meeting scheduling tool for Nutshell, the all-in-one CRM that helps businesses close more deals. Nutshell Scheduler connects seamlessly to your CRM data and other Nutshell tools to help you connect with clients at every stage of the funnel.
Nutshell Scheduler lets you book team meetings, demos, sales calls, or any other type of appointment from right inside Nutshell. Share Scheduler links in email or embed them on your website, and include Nutshell forms in your bookings to collect important information about prospects.
With Nutshell Scheduler, say goodbye to scheduling headaches and hello to turning your bookings into real growth opportunities.
If you’re searching for the best online scheduling software, Zoho Bookings may be on your radar. But with its lack of sales integration, limited time zone management features, and restrictive plans, Acuity may not be the best option for your business.
Nutshell Scheduler is the Zoho Bookings alternative that offers all the appointment management, and sales integration features your team needs to optimize every meeting. Plus, Nutshell Scheduler is priced for your entire team.
See how these appointment scheduling tools stack up and learn why Nutshell Scheduler is the best meeting scheduler platform.
Nutshell Scheduler works natively with Nutshell CRM, so it’s easy to see the complete picture of every relationship! First, you can easily link Nutshell forms in your scheduler to gather information about your prospects before meeting with them.
Once someone submits a form, Nutshell will automatically create a new Person, Company, or Lead for them based on your preferences. Then, you can go to their page in Nutshell to see all your information about them, including a complete timeline of every interaction they’ve had with your team, from meetings and form submissions to email opens and clicks.
Nutshell also makes it easy to report on your bookings. Choose an activity type for each scheduler, whether a virtual meeting, phone call, demo, or a custom activity type you create. Once you log the booking as an activity, you can report on those activities in your Nutshell reports for seamless oversight into team productivity.
Although Zoho Bookings is part of the larger collection of Zoho software services, customers have to pay for the highest plan if they want seamless sales integration with Zoho CRM. And because Zoho Bookings is priced per seat, that can quickly become an expensive add-on.
When opening up your schedule to meet with prospects and customers, you need complete control over your availability.
To give you autonomy over your bookings, Nutshell Scheduler lets your team create unlimited scheduler appointments of unlimited types with no team or attendee restrictions. So whether your team works internationally or all in the same city, offers one product or multiple types of services, or needs to keep lots of stakeholders in the loop, you’re in charge of your scheduler appointment availability.
Zoho Bookings limits the number of virtual spaces you can create that are dedicated to specific types of meetings. What this means is that you have to register your team’s physical locations as different workspaces. And all your scheduling settings—from notifications to rescheduling and cancellations—have to be the same across a workspace. So Zoho Bookings customers have less control over how they organize their scheduled appointments.
Plus, Zoho Bookings imposes strict limits on the number of workspaces you can have in your account. The Free and Basic Zoho Bookings plans only allow one workspace, and the Premium plan is limited to three.
Zoho Bookings is priced per staff member. This forces you to pay more to allow all your team members to schedule meetings.
With Nutshell, it’s easy to enable everyone to schedule their appointments. Nutshell Scheduler is priced for your entire company. So, all the team members in your CRM can book meetings, whether it’s your sales reps, customer success team, marketers, or executives.
Zoho Bookings only allows higher-paying customers access to certain features, like multiple virtual appointment spaces, CRM and sales integration, and co-hosting virtual meetings.
Nutshell Scheduler customers get all of these features and more. Create co-hosted online meetings, an unlimited number of appointments and groupings, CRM integration, and get live chat support from our helpful support team.
