2 reasons why Pipedrive is the best Nimble CRM alternative

Data, contacts and custom field features

Pipedrive offers no hidden costs or nasty surprises that kill your sales momentum. When it comes to data, contacts and custom fields, you’ll have access to these deluxe features on all plans. Nimble CRM, however, has a limited amount of data storage, contacts and custom fields across all plans. There is no unlimited option, which means you’ll be constantly tied to additional costs as your business grows.

We have seen dozens of fast-growing teams get caught off guard by contact and custom field caps. When your CRM starts charging extra fees every time you expand your database, reps end up hoarding leads off the platform.

Customizable reports

Analysing your sales performance and tracking progress is critical to success. Like Pipedrive, Nimble CRM allows you to report on deal history and performance across pipelines, but it lacks the customization needed for in-depth analysis. With Pipedrive, you’ll be able to build bespoke reports using custom fields unique to your business, providing you with a true understanding of bottlenecks and winning patterns. Unlike Nimble CRM, Pipedrive also offers recurring revenue reports, so if your industry is focused on recurring billing or subscriptions, Pipedrive can produce reports to help track and project your earnings over time.
