How we score tools →

Close CRM is built for inside sales teams that live on the phone and email. It combines calling, SMS, and email in one interface with power dialling, call tracking, and automated follow-up sequences baked in. UK sales teams get real-time activity data — every call, email, and task logged automatically. Pricing starts at $49/user/month (no free tier). It integrates with Slack, Zapier, and accounting tools. GDPR compliance is solid, with EU data processing agreements available. Close is less suited to marketing-led organisations, but for outbound-focused UK startups it's the most efficient sales CRM on the market.
