Close is built for the phone.
Signal is built for the stack.

It depends entirely on how much of your selling happens on the phone. Close is a calling-first CRM with a Power Dialer and a Predictive Dialer, and Signal has no calling at all. If your team lives on the phone, Close is the better product and nothing here changes that. If your outbound is mostly email and you want the prospect data and proposals in the same system, Signal covers more of the job.

Read from close.com/pricing on 19 September 2026, in US dollars: Solo is $19 per user per month monthly or $9 annually and is capped at one user and 10,000 leads; Essentials is $49 or $35 annually; Growth is $109 or $99 annually; and Scale is $149 or $139 annually. Workflows and the Power Dialer start at Growth, and the Predictive Dialer and custom reporting are Scale only. Call minutes are not included in any of those figures.

Close’s $99 is per user per month on annual billing. Signal’s $99 is the whole workspace with unlimited users. At one person they are the same; at five, Close Growth is $495 a month and Signal is still $99. Close adds a Power Dialer that Signal does not have. Signal adds a prospect database, proposals and a booking link that Close does not have. Neither is a superset of the other.

No, and this is the most commonly missed part of the cost. Calling and SMS are enabled on every plan, but usage is billed separately at Twilio pay-as-you-go rates, with calls rounded up to the next minute, phone numbers rented monthly on top, and one-off A2P registration fees of $4 to $44 plus a recurring monthly fee for US senders. A team making a lot of calls should model that separately from the subscription.

No. Close has an Enrichment feature, which its own help centre describes as requesting AI-generated values for fields on Lead and Contact records you already hold. Close’s help centre gave two different billing models for it on the day this page was written: six AI credits per field from a shared pool in one article, and five cents per field in another. On the credit model, monthly allowances run from 500 to 2,000 credits per user depending on plan, and enrichment pauses when they run out. That is useful for reducing data entry, but it will not find you a company you have never heard of.

Neither natively. No proposal or quote capability was found anywhere in Close’s feature set. For scheduling, Close has calendar sync, meeting reminders and an AI notetaker, and lists Calendly under integrations for the booking link itself. Signal includes both on every plan, and a meeting booked through Signal writes back to the deal and stops the sequence.

For one or two people, yes. Close Solo is $9 per user per month on annual billing, though it is capped at one user and 10,000 leads, and Essentials is $35. Growth, the first plan with sequences and workflows, is $99 per user per month annually, which matches Signal Launch for one person and exceeds it for two. Add call usage on top of whichever plan you pick.

Yes. Companies, contacts and deals import, so the pipeline moves. What does not move is your call history and recordings in any useful form, and if those are part of your compliance or coaching process that is worth weighing carefully before switching.
