The Real Difference
Streak has a free plan; Nutshell doesn't. Budget-conscious? That's your answer.
Nutshell stands out with Visual drag-and-drop sales pipeline and Built-in email sequences and drip campaigns. Streak counters with Lives entirely inside Gmail and Shared pipelines.
Nutshell's Achilles heel: no free plan at all — and the lower tiers feel stripped compared to hubspot free or zoho crm free. Streak's: gmail-only means you’re locked in — plus the free plan is extremely limited on pipeline features. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Bottom Line
If you value visual drag-and-drop sales pipeline and small sales teams under, go with Nutshell. If solopreneurs and tiny teams matters more, Streak is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
