Official site link, not an affiliate link. We do not have an approved referral link for Close.
Close helps you run marketing and follow-ups by starting with a sales CRM with built-in calling, email, SMS and Chloe, an AI agent that calls and qualifies leads. It is best for founders and outbound sales teams that make a lot of calls and want calling, email and SMS inside the CRM. People also use it to automate repetitive work.
What it does
Close keeps leads, contacts, opportunities and every call, email and text in one timeline. You can call and text from the browser or the mobile app, with usage-based calling that Close says is passed through at cost. Chloe is available on every plan and uses monthly AI credits; she can call down a list of leads, answer questions about your pipeline and run inside workflows on Growth and Scale. Close also has importers for HubSpot, Pipedrive and HighLevel, integrations with Zapier, Calendly, Zoom, Claude and ChatGPT, and an API.
