Frequently asked
Is Autocloz a Nutshell alternative?
Yes for teams whose bottleneck is outbound rather than pipeline hygiene. You keep a full CRM — deals, tasks, custom fields — and add sequences across five channels, a dialer and deliverability tooling, without a per-seat bill.
What does Nutshell genuinely do better?
Simplicity and reporting polish. It is designed to be set up in an afternoon and understood by a non-technical team, with sales reporting that answers manager questions out of the box. A platform carrying five channels and a compliance engine is inherently a larger surface to learn.
Do I have to move my pipeline to use the outbound side?
No. Running one channel in Autocloz while your CRM of record stays where it is a common way to evaluate it. The consolidation argument only pays off later, when every touch and reply is already on the same timeline as the deal.
What does upgrading buy?
Higher daily send limits, more contacts, unlimited mailboxes and governance features. It never unlocks a channel — all five are on every plan, including the free one.
