Close vs REsimpli (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Close if

• Fits if your team spends the day calling, texting and emailing leads
• Works for a solo seller with under 10,000 leads who wants calling in a $9 CRM

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you need automated workflows or the power dialer, which start on Growth at $99 a user
• Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's a 14-day trial and then a paid subscription
• Not for you if you want a fixed bill, because calls, texts and numbers are charged by usage
• Tight if you're on Solo: 1 user, 10,000 leads, no workflows and no email open tracking
• Watch out: call transcripts are a $50 a month add-on, and the dialers don't run on the phone app

Pick REsimpli if

• Fits if you buy and sell houses and want lead lists, calling and deals together
• Works for investor teams that grow past one person

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you're outside real estate investing, as most of it goes unused
• Pricey if you're a solo user, at $249 a month billed annually
• Watch out: extra users cost $99 a month on annual billing, up to each plan's cap
• Watch out: AI calling is $0.50 a minute and AI SMS $0.03 a message on top of the plan
• Tight if you add phone numbers, at $5, $3 or $2 a month each by plan

Close

• There is no free plan; the 14-day trial is followed by a paid subscription.
• Calling, SMS and phone numbers are billed by usage on top of the per-user price.
• Workflows and the power dialer need Growth; the predictive dialer and role-based permissions need Scale.
• Solo is limited to 1 user and 10,000 leads, and does not include email open tracking.

REsimpli

• Extra users cost $99 a month on annual billing or $125 on monthly billing, up to each plan's user cap.
• AI calling is $0.50 per minute and AI SMS $0.03 per message, on top of the plan price.
• Extra phone numbers are $5, $3 or $2 a month by plan, and extra websites are $29 a month.
• It is built for real estate investing, so other kinds of sales teams will find much of it unused.

Close

Built-in calling and SMS

Calls and texts are made from the CRM and logged on the lead. Usage is billed at cost on top of the plan: most outbound calls are about $0.02 a minute and phone numbers start at about $1 a month.

Chloe, the AI teammate

Chloe calls and qualifies leads, books meetings and drafts follow-ups. Each plan includes monthly AI credits, from 500 on Solo to 2,000 per user on Scale, which do not roll over.

Email and automated workflows

Email is sent and tracked from Close alongside calls and texts. Growth and Scale add automated workflows, which Chloe can take part in, and bulk email sending.

Power and predictive dialers

Growth includes a power dialer and Scale a predictive dialer for working through call lists. Both need the desktop version; the mobile app cannot run them.

Pipelines and reporting

Opportunities are tracked through pipelines next to the calls, emails and texts behind them, with reports on leads and activity. Not every report is available in the mobile app.

Call Assistant add-on

Transcribes and summarizes voicemails and recorded calls longer than 30 seconds. It costs $50 a month per organization plus $0.02 per transcribed minute.

REsimpli

Lead data tools

List stacking, skip tracing, driving for dollars and cash buyer searches; monthly skip tracing credits grow with the plan.

Triple-line dialer and texting

Unlimited standard calling minutes and SMS under a fair use policy; AI calling is billed separately per use.

Marketing

Automations and drip campaigns, direct mail, a seller website and unlimited email.

Pipelines and e-sign

Custom pipelines, speed-to-lead alerts and unlimited e-signature for contracts.

KPI dashboard and accounting

A KPI dashboard and full accounting are included, which the vendor says replaces several separate tools.

AI agents and open API

AI agents are listed as free on every plan, and API access carries no usage fees.
