CRM with built-in calling, SMS and email plus an AI sales agent named Chloe that calls, enriches and updates records.
Overview
Close is a CRM for small, outbound-heavy sales teams that combines the contact database with a built-in power dialer, SMS and email sequences so reps do not need separate tools. Its AI agent, Chloe, is included on every plan and can batch-call leads, enrich contact and company records, summarize leads, suggest actions on stalled deals and rewrite emails; a separate Call Assistant add-on records, transcribes and summarizes calls for $50 per month per organization plus per-minute fees. Small businesses typically use it to run inbound lead follow-up and outbound call blocks from a single screen with activity automatically logged. It integrates with Zapier, Gmail, Microsoft 365, Slack, Calendly, Stripe, Zoom and HubSpot, and offers an API and webhooks. Each plan includes a monthly AI credit allowance that can be topped up. A real caveat is that calling and SMS are usage-billed on top of the seat price, so phone-heavy teams should model total cost before committing.
