Nimble built its name on social and contact insights gathered from around the web. The limit is that it surfaces information without doing much with it. Orbit is an all-in-one relationship CRM with one AI assistant, Hiro, that drafts follow-ups and invoice reminders you approve. Free to start, no credit card.
Nimble made its reputation by pulling social profiles and contact details from across the web and laying them over your relationships. For people who network heavily, that context felt magical. The pitch was always insight: know more about the person before you reach out.
The trouble is that insight is only half the job. Nimble can tell you a contact just posted, changed roles, or went quiet, but it does not write the message or chase the proposal. You still carry the follow-through. And as the social-data features aged, the rest of the CRM started to feel dated next to newer tools.
So people look for a CRM that keeps the relationship context but adds the muscle: something that turns "this contact went quiet" into a drafted bump sitting in your approval queue.
Orbit keeps relationships at the center and puts one AI assistant, Hiro, to work on them. Hiro hands you drafts to approve, edit, or dismiss.
Nimble's social and contact-insight gathering has years of polish, and its browser tools for grabbing people from around the web are well worn. If your daily habit is built around Nimble's specific social enrichment as it works today, that muscle memory is a real cost to give up.
Orbit saves people from LinkedIn and other sites with its own Chrome extension on any paid plan, but its focus is a full CRM plus an assistant that acts, not deep social enrichment. Stay on Nimble if social-insight gathering is the entire job. Move to Orbit when you want a real CRM with an assistant that drafts the follow-up.

Yes. Export your contacts and deals from Nimble as CSV files, then import the contacts into Orbit and map your fields and tags. Rebuilding pipeline stages takes a few minutes, so the full move fits in an afternoon.
