Close vs Zoho CRM — Qual vence?
Escolha Close se: Times de inside sales que vivem no telefone e querem ligações integradas direto no CRM
Escolha Zoho CRM se: Times conscientes do orçamento que já estão no ecossistema Zoho e querem um CRM completo pela metade do preço do Salesforce
Nossa opinião: Close is easier to pick up, but Zoho CRM is more powerful long-term.

A diferença real
Zoho CRM 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. Zoho CRM counters with Multichannel communication and Zia AI assistant.
Close's Achilles heel: no free plan and expensive entry point — $49/user/mo is steep for early-stage startups. Zoho CRM's: ui feels cluttered and dated — third-party integrations outside zoho are hit or miss. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value built-in calling and sms and times de inside sales, go with Close. If times conscientes do orçamento matters more, Zoho CRM is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
