Der wahre Unterschied
Salesforce has a free plan; Close doesn't. Budget-conscious? That's your answer.
Close stands out with Built-in calling and SMS and Email sequences. Salesforce counters with Lead and opportunity management and Einstein AI analytics.
Close's Achilles heel: no free plan and expensive entry point — $49/user/mo is steep for early-stage startups. Salesforce's: requires a dedicated admin — configuration is a full-time job and the ui feels dated without heavy customization. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Fazit
If you value built-in calling and sms and inside-sales-teams, die am telefon, go with Close. If enterprise-sales-teams, die unendliche anpassbarkeit matters more, Salesforce is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
