Why smart teams choose Twenty as their Nutshell CRM alternative
Not every CRM needs to be a SaaS tax on your sales team.
Cost predictability at scale
Nutshell's lowest tier is $13 per user per month. A 10-person team runs $1,560 annually. Twenty CRM Pro on Opsily is $9 per user, or $1,080 per year. For a 20-person team, Nutshell's growth tier costs $6,000 annually. Twenty is $2,160. The math gets worse the bigger your team grows.
Data stays in your hands
Twenty CRM is open-source under AGPL-3.0. You own the code, the data, and the deployment. Opsily hosts it on ISO 27001-certified German data centers. You have full export rights. No locked contract. No surprise price increases when a competitor buys Nutshell.
Build exactly what your team needs
Nutshell lets you add no-code fields. Twenty CRM lets you add features. REST API, GraphQL, webhooks, and custom workflows mean you're not waiting for Nutshell's product roadmap. Developers on your team (or contractors) can extend the CRM to fit your exact sales process.
Built for teams who need reliability
How much will you save by switching from Nutshell?
Nutshell's lowest tier (Foundation) costs $13 per user per month when billed monthly. Twenty CRM Pro on Opsily is $9 per user per month.
A 5-person sales team:
- Nutshell Foundation: $13 x 5 users x 12 months = $780/year
- Twenty CRM on Opsily: $9 x 5 users x 12 months = $540/year
- Annual savings: $240
A 10-person sales team:
- Nutshell Foundation: $13 x 10 users x 12 months = $1,560/year
- Twenty CRM on Opsily: $9 x 10 users x 12 months = $1,080/year
- Annual savings: $480
If your team grows to Nutshell's Growth tier ($25/user/month) to unlock more pipelines and AI outcomes:
A 10-person team in Growth tier:
- Nutshell Growth: $25 x 10 users x 12 months = $3,000/year
- Twenty CRM Organization: $39 x 10 users x 12 months = $4,680/year
- Twenty catches up at the higher tier, but you're still getting unlimited API access and data ownership
The real win? At Nutshell's Business tier ($59/user/month) for larger teams, Twenty's $39/user Organization plan saves $240/year per person. A 15-person team saves $3,600 annually while owning their data.
