Close

Overview

Close is a CRM built around outbound communication: calling, SMS and email sequences are native rather than integrated, and the interface is organised around a daily list of leads to contact. It is popular with inside-sales teams and start-ups that run high-volume outreach.

The pricing page lists Solo, Essentials, Growth and Scale plans per user per month, showing two figures for each: US$9 and US$19, US$35 and US$49, US$99 and US$109, and US$139 and US$149. The page does not label which figure applies to annual and which to monthly billing; the lower figure is presumably the annual rate. A Custom plan is quoted after a demo, and a 14-day trial with US$5 of calling and enrichment credit requires no card.^[17]

Close’s limitations are the corollary of its focus: marketing automation, service ticketing and complex account hierarchies are outside its scope, and calling minutes and enrichment are usage-billed.
