Close is excellent for inside sales — the built-in dialer is genuinely best-in-class. But if your sales motion isn't primarily phone-based, you're paying a premium for features you don't use. And as your team scales past 20 seats, the per-seat costs start to rival Salesforce without the Salesforce feature depth.
Close is excellent for inside sales — the built-in dialer is genuinely best-in-class. But if your sales motion isn't primarily phone-based, you're paying a premium for features you don't use.

Close was designed for a specific workflow: high-volume outbound calling with email follow-ups. If that describes your team, it's hard to beat. But most modern sales teams use a mix of channels — social selling, inbound, partnerships, events — and Close doesn't handle those well. The lack of custom objects means you can't model complex deal structures. The reporting is adequate but not deep. And at $139/seat for Enterprise, a 20-person team is paying $2,780/month for what is ultimately a specialized tool.
Broader CRM capabilities than Close with flat pricing. Your 20-person team costs $299/mo instead of $1,980/mo. If calling isn't your #1 feature, Conduyt gives you more for less.
Simpler and cheaper than Close. No built-in calling, but if you're not making 50+ calls/day, you won't miss it.
Close does sales. HubSpot does sales + marketing. If you need both, HubSpot's integration is tighter than bolting marketing tools onto Close.
Beautiful UI with a flexible data model. No calling, but excellent for teams who communicate primarily through email and Slack.
Built-in calling like Close, but at a fraction of the price. AI lead scoring is a nice bonus. Trade-off: the calling features aren't as polished.
