- Built-in
- Calls, SMS, email
- Catch
- Price vs Pipedrive
Buy if The team is on the phone all day and you refuse a separate dialer.
Skip if You needed a free contact database. This is not that row.
If your pipeline dies without dials, Close is more CRM than Pipedrive plus a Frankenstein dialer. If you send a weekly newsletter, you are in the wrong aisle.
The $49 is the point. Do not buy it to feel like a sales org.
Pros
- Calling is native
- Fast sales UI
- Less cobbled than HubSpot + a dialer
Cons
- Seat cost
- Wrong tool for content marketers
