Close CRM

Close is the inside-sales CRM purpose-built for high-velocity sales teams that need calling, SMS, email, and pipeline management in a single tool, without the enterprise complexity of Salesforce or the marketing-first focus of HubSpot. Founded in 2013, Close has grown into a defining brand for SMB and mid-market inside sales teams, with particular strength in B2B startups, SaaS companies, and remote-first sales orgs that prioritize simple, fast workflows over deep customizability. Pricing is transparent and tiered per seat. Solo at $9/month is for individual founders and freelancers, limited to 1 user and 10,000 leads with no automated workflows. Essentials at $35/seat/month covers small teams with unlimited contacts, multiple pipelines, advanced filters, built-in forms, email, calling, SMS, centralized inbox, and Chloe AI included free in beta. Growth at $99/seat/month adds automated workflows, Power Dialer, AI Email Assistant, and custom activities. Scale at $139/seat/month adds advanced security, custom permissions, and dedicated CSM. Monthly billing adds approximately 25%. All tiers include built-in calling. Close's differentiation versus Salesforce and HubSpot is its inside-sales-first design with native communications. Rather than treating phone, email, and SMS as separate integrations, Close includes them natively with one-click dialer, automated email sequences, SMS conversation threading, and unified activity history. Sales reps regularly make 50-100 calls per day in Close without context switching between tools. Chloe AI, in beta as of 2025, is Close's AI sales teammate built directly into the platform. She handles inbound lead calls end-to-end: answering instantly, qualifying leads, booking meetings, and updating CRM automatically. Beta access is limited and English-only. The platform integrates with Mailchimp, Zapier, Slack, Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, and 50+ other tools. Close has raised $40M+ and is profitable, prioritizing sustainable growth.
