Close Review (2026)

The built-in calling is the draw, but call and SMS credits stack on top of the seat price — a '$99' plan can effectively cost ~$160/user once a rep dials 50+ times a day. Great for call-heavy teams, pricey if you barely dial. Throughout this review we weigh it against Salesforce.

Pricing (2026)

✓ Pricing re-verified 12 Sep 2026

Per-seat: Solo $19, Essentials $49, Growth $109 and Scale $149 per user/mo, or $9, $35, $99 and $139 billed annually — the same twelve amounts we have now read on 23 July, 3, 11 and 14 August and 12 September 2026. No free plan; the trial runs 14 days and close.com states no credit card is required, with $5 of calling and enrichment credits included, and the page carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. AI credits are pooled per tier (500 a month on Solo, then 1,000, 1,500 and 2,000 per user up to 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000).

Frequently asked questions

What does Close actually cost per rep?

The seat is the smaller half of it. Read on their pricing page on 12 September 2026: Solo $19, Essentials $49, Growth $109 and Scale $149 per user per month, or $9, $35, $99 and $139 on annual billing. On top of every one of those sit metered costs the plan does not cover — outbound calls at about $0.02 a minute, phone lines from about $1 a month, the Call Assistant add-on at $50 a month per organisation plus $0.02 a minute, and $50 a month for each extra organisation beyond the one free secondary org Growth and Scale include. Chloe, the AI agent, costs nothing to switch on and then draws on your AI credits and telephony as she runs. If your team dials all day, budget the usage first and the seat second.

Has Close's price changed recently?

Not in the window we can prove. We hold monthly captures of close.com/pricing from July and August 2026 and read it again by hand on 14 August: the page was edited between the two captures — it is a different document, 20,260 characters against 20,388 — and every amount is the same in both. If you priced Close a month ago, that quote still stands.

Is there a free plan, and can I try it without a card?

There is no free plan. There is a 14-day trial and close.com states no credit card is required, with $5 of calling and enrichment credits included so you can test the dialer rather than only the pipeline. After you buy, the page carries a 30-day money-back guarantee. Read 14 August 2026.

What should I weigh before buying Growth & Revenue software?

It depends on whether you have the bottleneck it solves. Small teams get the most out of this category when one clear problem is already costing real hours or revenue; buying ahead of that just adds cost and another login. Price it against the hours or lost deals it removes, not against its feature list, and start on the smallest plan that covers the job.
