What Close actually costs over a year
A monthly price is not the same thing as a monthly contract. These are the plans above resolved both ways, per seat or unit where the plan is charged that way. Where a vendor quotes only a yearly figure it is divided by twelve rather than left out, and the Quoted column says which figure the vendor actually publishes.
| Plan | Quoted | Monthly | Over 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|
| Soloper user | per month | $9 | $108 |
| Essentialsper user | per month | $35 | $420 |
| Growthper user | per month | $99 | $1,188 |
| Scaleper user | per month | $139 | $1,668 |

6 archived captures with no price we could read
The capture exists, but the figures on it could not be extracted - usually a page that renders prices in JavaScript, or a currency selector the archive did not record. Listed rather than dropped, because a gap in a price history reads as "nothing changed" and these are not that.
- 17 April 2019 - capture - no plan name sat next to a published figure in this capture

Compiled 18 September 2026 from the Internet Archive Wayback Machine. Plan names were matched against the archived page text and the first currency-anchored figure within 160 characters was recorded, rejecting any figure with a competing plan name standing between it and the name it was matched to. The currency and the unit were read from each capture rather than assumed: captures served in a currency other than $, and captures where no plan name sat beside a figure, are listed as unread rather than dropped. 2 plan series were read from these captures and then discarded, because the most recent capture did not reproduce the price we verified on the live page. Only plans the extraction demonstrably reads correctly are published here. Archived pages show the price as served to the archive's crawler, which may differ by region from the price you are shown.
Close pricing against its competitors
Compared on the smallest invoice each vendor will accept, not on the advertised per-seat rate. Where a product has a seat minimum, the figure below is the minimum times the rate, because that is the cheque you would actually write.
| Product | Cheapest paid entry | Free plan | Against Close |
|---|---|---|---|
| HubSpot | $7 a month | Yes | −$2 a month (−22%) |
| Close | $9 a month | No | This product |
| Pipedrive | $14 a month | No | +$5 a month (+56%) |
Which Close plan should you buy?
| Your situation | Recommended | Why |
|---|---|---|
| You are one person selling | Solo | $9 a user billed annually, or $19 monthly, with 500 AI credits a month. |
| You are a small team living in calls and email | Essentials | $35 a user billed annually. Calls, email and deals in one place, and the real starting point for a team. |
| You want the AI agent working leads | Growth | $99 a user billed annually, which is where Chloe and the higher credit pools arrive. |
| You dial at high volume and need advanced controls | Scale | $139 a user billed annually, with the fastest dialling and 2,000 credits a user. |
| You want to try before committing | Start on the trial, then use the refund window | The trial needs no card, and the published 30-day money-back guarantee is a real backstop that most rivals do not offer. |
| Your team does not make outbound calls | Consider Pipedrive or HubSpot instead | You would be paying for a dialler you never open. |
Verdict by who you are
Outbound sales teamYes
The dialler, sequences and inbox are the product rather than add-ons, which is what an outbound team actually needs.
Solo founder sellingYes
$9 a user billed annually with 500 AI credits is the cheapest serious calling CRM here.
Inbound or product-led companyNo
You would be buying calling machinery you will not use, at a premium over Pipedrive.
Team wanting a free tierNo
There is none. The refund window is the closest thing on offer.
Company needing custom objectsNo
Close has an opinion about your data model. Attio and Twenty do not.
Should you buy Close?
Buy Close if…
- Teams whose sales motion is calling and emailing at volume
- Solo operators and small outbound teams
- Buyers who want a refund window rather than a trial cliff
Do not buy Close if…
- Teams needing marketing automation or a customer database platform
- Anyone wanting a free tier
- Organisations that need custom objects or a bespoke data model
Best Close alternative for each job
Chosen by what you are trying to do rather than by which product is closest overall, because the right replacement depends on the job.
| If you mainly need to… | Use | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Run a simple pipeline cheaply | Pipedrive | $14 a seat billed annually, and nothing to configure. |
| Model an unusual sales process | Attio | Configurable objects, free for three seats. |
| Own the CRM | Twenty | Open source and self-hostable, from $9 a user with unlimited seats. |
| Put marketing and sales on one record | HubSpot | Free for two users, with marketing tooling Close does not attempt. |
What leaving Close would cost
moderate lock-in
Close scores on public API. Portability 5/10 ; lock-in is the inverse. How this is calculated.
Both prices, on every tier
Close publishes the monthly and annual rate side by side, which is rarer in this category than it should be:
| Plan | Billed annually | Paying monthly | AI credits per user |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo | $9/user | $19/user | 500 |
| Essentials | $35/user | $49/user | 1,000, pooled to 10,000 |
| Growth | $99/user | $109/user | 1,500, pooled to 15,000 |
| Scale | $139/user | $139 to $149/user | 2,000, pooled to 20,000 |
Two things follow. The annual discount is largest at the bottom - Solo halves, Scale barely moves - so the cheap headline is the one that depends most on committing for a year. And credits do not roll over, so the allowance is a monthly floor to plan work against rather than a budget to spend down.
Solo is for one person, so a team’s entry price is $35
The $9 figure is the one that will appear in comparisons, including ours, and it is described on Close’s own page as being “for founders and solo reps who need a real CRM, not a spreadsheet”.
A team of five is therefore an Essentials decision: $35 a user billed annually, or $2,100 a year. That is dearer than Pipedrive at $840 and Zoho CRM at $840, and the justification has to be the dialler.
The refund window is a real feature
A published 30-day money-back guarantee, described as a full refund with no questions asked, plus a trial that needs no card. In a category where the standard is a fourteen-day trial and an annual commitment, that is a materially better way to find out whether your reps will actually use the thing, which is the question that decides everything else about a CRM bill.
Use it properly: a month is long enough to see whether calls get logged without anyone being nagged.
Buy it for the phone, or do not buy it
Close is not a platform and does not pretend to be. No custom objects, no marketing automation, no configurable data model. What it has is the dialler, sequences and a shared inbox as the centre of the product rather than as add-ons.
If your team’s day is calls and emails at volume, that focus is the reason to pay more than Pipedrive costs. If it is not, you are buying machinery you will not open, and Pipedrive or Attio will serve you better for less.
Close questions, answered
- Is Close worth it?
- Close is the clearest example in this category of a CRM built around an activity rather than a database.
- How much does Close cost?
- Solo $9 per user/month billed annually ($19 monthly); Essentials $35 ($49 monthly). The cheapest paid tier we recorded is Solo, published at $9 a month, which works out at $9 a month or $108 over a year. Verified against the vendor's pricing page.
- Does Close have a free plan or free trial?
- Close has no free plan. A free trial is available: Free trial with no credit card, plus a 30-day money-back guarantee.
- What is the best Close alternative?
- It depends on the job. Pipedrive: Cheaper at $14 a seat and simpler, without the built-in dialler. HubSpot: Free tier for two users and marketing tooling; calling is an add-on rather than the point. Attio: Configurable data model rather than a calling machine, free for three seats.
- Can I self-host Close?
- No. Close is a hosted service only, so your data lives on the vendor's infrastructure.
