Close
CRM with the power dialer built in.
From $9/user/mo Free trial MCP server API
Bottom line
Sales CRM with a built-in power dialer. Solo is $9/user/mo billed annually ($19 monthly); trial with $5 calling credits.
Stands out for: Calling inside the CRM (not a bolted-on dialer), plus WhatsApp, Calendly, HubSpot, and a first-party MCP.
Watch out for: Phone lines are $1/line/month, which is not the CRM seat. Solo annual is $9/user. Calling is usage-based on top.
Overview
Close is a sales CRM with the power dialer built in. Outbound teams call, email, and SMS from the same record. WhatsApp, Calendly, Google Calendar, HubSpot, and LinkedIn are named on the integrations page. There is a first-party MCP and API.
Pricing: Solo $19/user/mo or $9 billed annually; Essentials $49 / $35; Growth $109 / $99; Scale $149 / $139. Try-for-free includes $5 of calling and enrichment credits and a 30-day money-back guarantee. Phone lines start at $1/line/month; that is not the CRM price.
