Nimble is a social-selling CRM that enriches contacts from social profiles and your inbox, priced per seat. Orbit is a simple all-in-one CRM for one person with an AI assistant, Hiro, that drafts follow-ups, writes proposals, and manages tasks on your approval. Nimble is great for relationship-led networkers who live on social. Orbit is for the solo operator who wants the whole business in one calm place.
Nimble built its name on enrichment. Connect your inbox and social accounts, and it stitches together a contact record with social profiles, company details, and recent activity, often with very little typing from you. Its browser widget lets you build a contact from a LinkedIn or web page in a click, which networkers and relationship sellers love.
It also keeps the unified inbox idea front and center: messages, social signals, and follow-up reminders in one place. For a consultant, recruiter, or networker whose pipeline is really a web of relationships nurtured across email and social, Nimble removes a lot of busywork. Check their site for current per-seat plans.
Both care about relationships. They fill the record differently.

Nimble is brilliant at filling the contact record from social and email. Orbit is built to run the whole business around it. Orbit does not scrape social profiles in the background, but once a contact is in, one assistant helps you act: ask Hiro to draft a follow-up, write a proposal, send an invoice, or turn a note into a task, and it returns a draft you approve.
If saving people from social in one click is what you love about Nimble, Orbit has that too on Pro: the Chrome extension saves anyone from LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, or any site straight into your CRM. The difference shows up after the save, when AI follow-up keeps drafts waiting for your yes instead of leaving the next move on your to-do list.
Every output is something you approve, edit, or dismiss. The free plan covers 250 contacts, one pipeline, unlimited tasks, a calendar, notes, a built-in email inbox (100 sends a month), and basic Tables, plus 10 invoices, 10 proposals, and a booking page. Hiro runs on free monthly AI credits, included on every plan, no API key to paste. The Chrome extension and the MCP server are part of Pro.
Nimble fills the contact record beautifully. Orbit runs the whole business around it, with one assistant on the busywork.
Yes. Orbit is a simple all-in-one CRM with one AI assistant, Hiro, that drafts follow-ups, writes proposals, and manages tasks, with you approving every output. Nimble is stronger if your main need is rich social and web enrichment of contacts. Orbit is stronger if you want to run the whole business in one place.
Nimble is sold per seat with a free trial rather than a permanent free tier. Check their site for current pricing. Orbit has a free CRM plan with no credit card: 250 contacts, one pipeline, unlimited tasks, and a built-in email inbox. Pro is $14/mo or $112/yr, with an optional 30-day free trial (card required).
Yes, on Pro. Orbit's Chrome extension saves anyone from LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, or any site into your CRM in one click. From there Hiro can draft outreach for your approval. Orbit does not run a background social sync the way Nimble enriches records automatically.
AI credits are included free every month on every plan, with no API key to paste and nothing to configure. You can top up with credit packs, and paid plans can bring their own AI key when credits run out. Orbit does not do phone calls, AI prospecting, or social monitoring.
No. Orbit is a CRM with one assistant that helps you act on contacts you add, not a social-listening or monitoring tool. If your work depends on scraping buying signals across social, Nimble's enrichment is closer. Orbit focuses on running the relationships and the back office in one place.
