Der wahre Unterschied
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Close stands out with Smart Views for filtering and Predictive dialer. Nutshell counters with Visual drag-and-drop sales pipeline and AI-powered timeline summaries.
Close's Achilles heel: no free plan and expensive entry point — $49/user/mo is steep for early-stage startups. Nutshell's: no free plan at all — and the lower tiers feel stripped compared to hubspot free or zoho crm free. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Fazit
If you value smart views for filtering and inside-sales-teams, die am telefon, go with Close. If kleine sales-teams unter 20 matters more, Nutshell is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
