  • Why are we offering Nutshell CRM for free?

    Free sometimes feels scammy or desperate. We get it.
    But we know that we have a great CRM (and other features) and we’re betting that you’ll agree.

    Additionally, while everyone is currently raising their prices, we feel like some businesses could use a break. Even if it’s just for 6 months.

    Haven’t heard of Nutshell before?
    Well, we could pay a celebrity millions of dollars to be our spokesperson and say our name during a Super Bowl commercial. But we’d rather spend that money on providing you 6 months of CRM for free.

    Changing CRMs can be costly. We get that.
    We’ve been around for 17 years and have developed white glove services to help you get your data imported and your processes set up fast and pain free. You’ll know if Nutshell will work for you within a few weeks. And you won’t have to sweat about paying for two systems at once.

    Take us up on the offer.
    You’ve got nothing to lose. If Nutshell won’t work for you, you’ve lost a couple of hours at most.

    If you end up liking Nutshell more than your current solution, then not only do you get the first six months free, but you also get a great CRM for a great value every month after.

    Sign up today to get started.

If we’re not a fit for your business, just cancel your account before the end of your sixth month. No sweat, no surprise payments.

No credit card required during free trial. Must provide payment method to access 6-month free promotion. Businesses and individuals taking advantage of this promotion will not have access to the following features and deliverables typically available on Nutshell Business and Nutshell Enterprise: scheduled phone support, API support, enterprise SSO, enterprise directory sync, read-only SQL access.  Customers on Nutshell Business and Nutshell Enterprise will have access to these features, as stated in our plan comparison table at the completion of their sixth month, when the promotional pricing expires.

I have been using Nutshell for 6 years now, and I like that it is very easy to navigate. I have always had outstanding customer support if I had questions or needed urgent assistance. . . I have [used] a few different CRM's over the past 20 years, and this one is the best!
