The short answer

Consultants, real estate and financial professionals, and small teams that sell through relationships.

Skip it if: managers who need forecasting, quotas and detailed activity reporting.

Nimble is a contact manager with a memory for relationships. Consultants, brokers and small firms that win business through networking will find it more natural than a pipeline-first CRM.

$24.90 per userFull review

Small and midsize teams that want marketing and sales on one system and value a gentle learning curve over deep customization.

Skip it if: teams that need advanced automation for many users on a tight budget, since those features sit in the Professional tier.

If you are starting from a spreadsheet, HubSpot is the safest first CRM: free to adopt, easy to learn and hard to outgrow quickly. Budget for the jump to Professional if you will need advanced automation within a year.
