Close vs. Salesloft
Have you ever seen a comparison page where the “challenger” comes out better than the company writing the comparison?
Exactly. Neither have we. So when we set about comparing our CRM to others we wanted to take a different approach.

A quick summary
When comparing Close and Salesloft, your decisions will likely come down to price. Close and Salesloft both have inside sales-friendly calling features, including Power Dialer, SMS, and call coaching options. However, Salesloft is a far more expensive CRM focused on enterprise users. Close, on the other hand, is far more affordable (with a Professional plan around $99/seat per month).
Salesloft requires additional purchases for crucial team adoption tactics like training and implementation, and also scores lower on third-party sites like GetApp for ease of use.
