Der wahre Unterschied
Freshsales has a free plan; Close doesn't. Budget-conscious? That's your answer.
Close stands out with Smart Views for filtering and Predictive dialer. Freshsales counters with AI-powered lead scoring (Freddy AI) and Visual deal pipeline.
Close's Achilles heel: no free plan and expensive entry point — $49/user/mo is steep for early-stage startups. Freshsales's: reporting is limited compared to salesforce and hubspot — advanced analytics need enterprise tier. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Fazit
If you value smart views for filtering and inside-sales-teams, die am telefon, go with Close. If kleine bis mittelgroße sales-teams, matters more, Freshsales is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
