Close

Close is the best CRM for teams that live on the phone, and Chloe AI on every plan is genuinely generous. The built in calling works well, the 14 day trial needs no credit card, and the 30 day money back guarantee removes the risk of trying it. The honest catch is usage billing. Seats are cheap but calls and SMS cost extra, so call heavy teams pay more than the sticker price. The famous dialer features need Growth or Scale, not the cheaper tiers. If your team makes hundreds of calls a week, model the usage costs first. If it fits, nothing else matches this call centric workflow.

Close is a sales CRM designed for teams that sell by phone. It puts calling, SMS, email, and pipeline management inside one app, then adds Chloe, a built in AI teammate that calls leads, qualifies prospects, books meetings, and keeps records updated without human input. The platform works by removing every tab switch from the sales workflow. Reps call from the browser with no softphone, texts and emails land in the same inbox, and Smart Views build self updating work queues from lead behavior. Chloe handles the repetitive parts: batch calling down lists, enriching new leads, logging outcomes, and answering questions about the pipeline in plain language. Workflows on Growth and above automate the handoffs between steps. Close fits inside sales teams, outbound agencies, and startups where call volume drives revenue. Solo founders get the $9 Solo plan, growing teams land on Growth at $99 for the Power Dialer and workflows, and call centers run on Scale at $139 for predictive dialing and coaching.
