Mesh vs Nimble

Mesh

• Individuals who want a contact book that keeps itself up to date
• People who want a free personal CRM for up to 1,000 contacts
• Small teams that share contacts and look for warm introductions

Nimble

• Solo professionals and small teams that work from Gmail or Outlook
• People who prospect on LinkedIn and want contact details filled in automatically
• Buyers who want one plan with email marketing and web forms included

Mesh

• The free Personal plan stops at 1,000 contacts and still asks for a credit card at sign-up.
• Sign-up starts a 14-day Pro trial automatically; you have to downgrade to Personal to stay on the free plan.
• The Team plan allows up to 4 team members; larger teams and SAML SSO need Enterprise.
• Paying monthly doubles the Pro price: $20 a month against $10 a month on the annual plan.

Nimble

• There is no free plan; an expired trial account is locked, then deleted 60 days after the trial ends.
• An account is limited to 25,000 contacts and 2 GB of storage per seat; each extra 10,000 contacts or 10 GB costs $10 a month.
• Email sync needs Google, Microsoft 365 or IMAP; POP3 and hosted Exchange accounts are not supported.
• Nimble does not give refunds, and an annual plan can be switched to monthly only in its final month.
