Bigin vs Nimble

No, it does not. Nimble offers a 14-day trial with no credit card required, and after that, it is $24.90 per seat. Bigin offers a free plan for 1 user with 500 records and 1 pipeline. It has no fixed expiry date, though Bigin removes free accounts that remain unused for more than 120 days.

It depends on the platform, and both products are well-liked. Bigin scores higher on Capterra (4.7 from 744 reviews against 4.4 from 1,868), TrustRadius (8.8 against 7.5), and G2 overall (4.6 against 4.5). Nimble scores higher than Bigin on three of G2's six sub-scores: ease of setup, ease of admin, and quality of support. Bigin leads the other three. The largest single gap is in the Android app ratings, where Bigin scores 4.5 from about 2,530 reviews and Nimble scores 3.3 from 178 reviews.

You might, and it is the fairest question on this page. Bigin caps custom fields at 10 per team pipeline on Express, 25 on Premier, and 50 on Bigin 360, and reporting depth is its most common criticism on G2. Teams that need advanced forecasting, custom modules or complex territory management usually move to Zoho CRM, and your data carries over. If you already know you need those things, start there instead.

Yes, you can. Export your data from Nimble as a spreadsheet file, then import it into Bigin, which matches your columns to the right fields. Contacts, companies, deals, tasks, meetings, calls, and notes all come across this way. Bigin's support team helps with the import at no extra cost, and if anything goes wrong, you can undo an import for 30 days. Two things need to be redone by hand: files attached to individual records need to be re-uploaded, and any automations you built need to be reconfigured in Bigin.

Email marketing is $15 per company per month. Web forms and live chat are $12 per team per month. Contacts beyond 25,000 are $10 per 10,000 a month. Storage beyond 2 GB per seat is $10 per 10 GB a month. Extra enrichment credits are $10 per 100 a month. The plan includes 1,000 group sends per license a month, and pricing for more than that is not published.

Yes, both are built in. Bigin connects to more than 100 cloud telephony providers, with click-to-call and call recording on every plan, including the free one. Call charges are billed separately from your Bigin plan through Zoho's telephony billing. WhatsApp Business comes with paid plans, and Bigin adds no per-message charge, though Meta charges for conversations your business initiates. Nimble documents a power dialer via its PhoneBurner integration and call logging, but it has no built-in phone system, and its own support pages say it does not work with WhatsApp.

We make Bigin, so read it with that in mind. What we can promise is the method: every price, limit, and rating on this page comes from a source you can check, with a date, all linked. Where the tables show Nimble ahead, we say so. Where a number is not published, we say that too, rather than guessing.
