The Fastest CRM on the Market. And It's Not Close.

Close is 50% faster than Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive in head-to-head speed tests — because it was built for selling, not data entry.

Close — The CRM built for closing, not data entry

Your sales reps spend 65% of their time not selling. They're logging calls. Updating fields. Switching between their CRM, their dialer, and their email. The tool that's supposed to help them sell is the thing slowing them down.

Close built the CRM that reps actually want to use. Calling, email, and SMS are built in — not integrations. Everything logs automatically. And they proved it's 50% faster than the big names in head-to-head tests.

The Problem

  • Your CRM requires so much data entry that reps avoid using it — which means your pipeline is always inaccurate.
  • Reps switch between their CRM, dialer, email client, and SMS tool 50+ times per day.
  • Salesforce costs more than some of your reps' monthly quotas. HubSpot hooks you with free, then charges $800/month for the features you actually need.
  • New reps take weeks to learn the CRM before they can start selling.

How Close Works

Built-In Communication

Calling, email, and SMS inside the CRM — no third-party dialers or plugins. Every interaction logs automatically.

AI Assistant

AI notetaker transcribes calls automatically. AI enrichment pulls real-time data into lead records. AI summaries save hours of manual logging.

Power Dialer

High-volume outbound calling that auto-dials through your lead list. Drop voicemails in one click. Available on Growth and Scale plans.

Common Concerns (Answered)

We already use Salesforce. If your team has 10+ reps and a dedicated Salesforce admin, stay. If they don't — and most small teams don't — Close gives you 80% of the functionality at 20% of the cost and complexity.

How does it compare to HubSpot? HubSpot is marketing-first and bolts on sales. Close is sales-first with calling, email, and SMS built in from day one. Speed test: Close is 50% faster for daily sales workflows.

Can a $9/month CRM be serious? The Solo plan at $9/month is for individual users. The Growth plan ($99/seat/month) includes Power Dialer, workflows, and advanced features. It's priced for small teams, not enterprise — and that's the point.
