Close

Close is excellent for small businesses with inside sales teams that rely heavily on phone calls and email outreach. The Startup plan at $49/user/month is more expensive than basic CRMs, but it includes built-in calling, email tracking, and pipeline management that would otherwise require separate tools costing $30-50/user/month each. For a sales team of 3-10 reps making 30+ calls per day, Close eliminates app-switching and dramatically increases productivity. The ROI becomes clear when you factor in the saved subscription costs and the additional sales conversations enabled by the power dialer and integrated workflow.

Close offers a 14-day free trial with full access to all features but no permanent free plan. The trial lets you test the built-in dialer, email sequencing, and pipeline management with your actual sales workflow. The Startup plan starts at $49/user/month, which includes built-in calling with call recording, email integration and tracking, pipeline management, and reporting. While this is higher than free CRM options like HubSpot, the included communication tools replace separate phone and outreach subscriptions, often making the total cost of ownership comparable or lower.

Close's Startup plan costs $49 per user per month (billed annually) and includes 3 active pipelines, built-in calling with call recording, email integration, and activity tracking. The Professional plan at $99/user/month adds unlimited pipelines, SMS messaging, advanced automation workflows, custom activities, and the predictive dialer for high-volume outbound teams. The Enterprise plan at $139/user/month unlocks power dialer, call coaching, custom onboarding, and dedicated support. All plans include the core calling and email capabilities that make Close unique among CRMs.
