Best for a CRM that builds itself from your email
Cloze is a relationship CRM that pulls contacts and history from your email, calls and calendar. Plans start at $17 a month on annual billing, nothing is free past the 14-day trial, the main site is now written for real estate brokerages, and the pricing grid doesn't say which feature is on which plan.
Who Cloze is for
- Fits if your work is relationships and you want contacts logged without typing them in
- Works for small teams that want shared work and assigned follow-ups
Who Cloze is not for
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as it's a 14-day trial then $17 a month at least
- Skip it if you aren't in real estate and want a general tool, as the main site is now aimed at brokerages
- Pricey if you add the Concierge Service, which is $20 a user a month with a $500 monthly minimum
- Watch out: the pricing grid doesn't say in text which features sit on which plan
- Watch out: past team-member archives beyond the 5 on Platinum are $5 each a month
Why Cloze gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyPro is $17 a month on annual billing ($19.99 monthly), and teams pay $21 to $42 a seat. That's the dearer side of email tools, where the middle is about $8.
- CFree plan and trial14 days free on every plan with no card. There's no free plan after that.
- CFeaturesEmail, calendar, reminders and a CRM that needs no data entry, plus team features. But the grid doesn't say which feature sits on which plan.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You connect your email and calendar, then set up how contacts are tracked.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone, Android and a browser extension, with Slack and Canva listed. No desktop app is named.

Keep Cloze, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Cloze you would be making an email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 69 of the 122 other email apps grade higher. It costs $204 a year.
What you could make
- Sales pipeline and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- An email client: sending, receiving, threading and searching years of mail.
- Newsletters sent to thousands of people that still reach the inbox.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Cloze’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
