Close.io Story

Close.io (now Close) was founded by Steli Efti in 2013. They are bootstrapped but they went to Y Combinator. Close.io early growth came from the portfolio of YC.

Since then, Close grew the team to more than 64 people and is now a well-known Sales CRM software often used as an alternative to Pipedrive. Close, like its name, is very sales driven, if cold calling is your thing, Close is for you.

However, if you believe that closing deals in 2024, not in 2013 is about building relationships via Email, Linkedin & Twitter, Breakcold is for you.

Is Breakcold an alternative to Close.io that's worth it?

Close.io was founded in 2013. They have tons of experience in the Sales CRM industry. They gave countless of sales tips on their youtube channel as well. But the world of sales is changing, we're not longer in the mid-2010°s.

At Breakcold, we're all about innovation and building the software with our users to help you close deals in 2024, not in 2013.

Close.io Pricing vs Breakcold Pricing

Compare to Close.io, Breakcold doesn't charge per user so you get unlimited users. Cold email sequences are also included in the base plan which is not the case of Close. However, for $29/month you can get close which is interesting if you're only looking for the sales CRM part. But bear in mind that you won't be able to do sales prospecting for that price.
