While Close is a fantastic Sales CRM for an advanced sales team, it does set some limites to those looking to manage the entire client lifecycle under one roof. Some of the better Close alternatives to look into are Clientjoy, Hubspot, Pipedrive, Salesforce, etc. If you feel like you’re missing some important features such as Client Portal, Proposals, Invoices & Payments, Meeting Scheduler as well as a CRM that doesn’t burn a hole in your pockets, you might want to look into another CRM for managing your business. While both the CRM tools have their own pros and cons, you can know the answer to this question by trying both tools and see which is the best fit for your business. You should take into account that Close has a monthly pricing plan that can get costly if your team is large, while Clientjoy offers add-ons where any additional member is at a low cost of $5 per user, per month. Unlike Close, Clientjoy enables you to manage your client lifecycle under one roof - leads, proposals, invoices & payments, meeting scheduler, client portal, that too at a lower cost. Clientjoy is made for small agencies and freelancers that will not burn a whole in your pocket.
