About Close
Close is a sales CRM made for teams that sell by phone and email. It brings calling, email and SMS into a single inbox together with pipeline management, reporting and automation, and its design focuses on helping reps act quickly on their data rather than update records manually.
Key parts of the platform include sales communication tools, workflow automation, lead and pipeline management, a built-in power dialer that logs calls automatically, native forms for capturing leads and reporting on pipeline, activity and forecasting. Chloe is an AI sales agent that calls leads, qualifies prospects and books meetings, and integrations cover ChatGPT, Claude, WhatsApp and many other tools.
Close is proprietary and delivered as a hosted service rather than software you run yourself. The homepage advertises a free trial with no credit card required, and plans are described on the vendor's pricing page.
