OnePageCRM does everything we verified about Close for $117.15 a month less at 3 users, $29.85 against $147. It is a price cut rather than an upgrade: on the two features checked against the vendors’ own pricing pages the two are level. The trade: Close is built for calling as the core and growing into a large sales team and OnePageCRM is not, so this is a swap with a cost.
Why people look for an alternative
Not for a one-person business watching cost once it grows: Solo is locked to one user and the next step is $49 a user a month, with calling and AI credits billed on top.
It runs $147 a month at 3 users with the add-ons it forces on you included. 16 of the 19 alternatives to Close cost less than that.

How to read the feature lines
Two features were checked against each vendor's own pricing page: a free plan and pricing per user. Those are the ones written above as does and does not. The other 14 are read out of each vendor's own pricing page, so an absence there means we did not find it listed, not that the product lacks it, and those lines say lists and does not list instead. How all of this gets checked.
Or let it pick for you
This page compares everything to Close. The shortlist asks 7 questions
about what you need it for and how many people need a login, and gives you four picks priced at your own team size, which is a better
question than “what is like the one I already have”.
