If you do not upgrade, the account pauses and your data stays available for a limited period before deletion. Close lists no free plan. Plans start at $9 or $19 per user per month.

Close CRM has a free 14-day trial, with no credit card and no contracts, and the trial includes $5 of calling and enrichment credits. It does not have a free plan: the pricing page lists Solo, Essentials, Growth and Scale only. This page puts the trial terms and plan prices in one place. Everything is from Close’s pricing page, checked on October 22, 2026.
Does Close CRM have a free trial?
Yes: 14 days, no credit card, no contracts. The page says to start your free 14-day trial and adds the $5 of credits for calling and enrichment. If you do not upgrade, the account pauses, and your data stays available for a limited period before deletion. The page does not give that period, so plan to export before you let a trial lapse. Our guide to exporting data from Close shows how.

How much does Close cost after the free trial?
Two prices are listed per plan, and the page text does not label them. Annual plans are discounted, so the lower number is most likely the annual rate. That is our inference.
| Plan | Listed prices per user per month | AI credits per user per month | Key limits and features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo | $19 / $9 | 500 | 1 user, up to 10,000 leads, 3 connected email accounts, 30-day call recording, no workflows |
| Essentials | $49 / $35 | 1,000 (pool up to 10,000) | Unlimited contacts and leads, team collaboration, forms, email, calling and SMS, 3 email accounts, no workflows |
| Growth | $109 / $99 | 1,500 (pool up to 15,000) | Automated workflows, power dialer, custom activities, bulk email, 10 email accounts, 90-day call recording |
| Scale | $149 / $139 | 2,000 (pool up to 20,000) | Role-based access, lead visibility rules, predictive dialer, live call coaching, unlimited recording retention |

Seats are only part of the bill. Calling and SMS are usage-based and passed through at cost, with calls about $0.02 per minute and phone numbers from about $1 per month. US texting needs A2P 10DLC registration, covered in how much Close CRM SMS costs. Additional organizations are $50 per organization per month, and Growth and Scale include one free secondary organization. Call Assistant is a $50 per month add-on per organization plus $0.02 per minute.
Does Close CRM have a free plan?
No free plan appears on the pricing page. The lowest tier is Solo, for one user, and it still costs money. If a permanent free tier is a requirement, look at platforms that publish one, such as Pipedrive, and weigh it against the cost of moving later with our guide to choosing a CRM.
What can you do in the 14 days?
The page does not say which plan the trial matches, so test the features you plan to buy for. The documented plan differences worth checking are workflows (Growth and above), the power dialer (Growth), predictive dialer and live call coaching (Scale), connected email accounts (3 on Solo and Essentials, 10 on Growth) and call recording retention (30 days, 90 days, unlimited). Two numbers to test against your data: Solo caps leads at 10,000, and every plan caps opportunities at 300 per lead.
What are the cancellation and refund terms?
Monthly plans can be upgraded, downgraded or canceled at any time. Downgrades and cancellations on annual plans take effect at the end of the billing term. A 30-day money-back guarantee gives a full refund, no questions asked, after purchase. The page does not describe the trial-to-paid refund process in more detail.

When to get help
A trial answers whether the screens feel right. It does not answer whether Close fits your pipeline, your data and your automations. Get help when you are comparing it with a CRM you would rather standardize on, or when you need an import plan before the trial ends. aibrevo implements Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics 365, Zoho CRM, Pipedrive, monday.com, Airtable and GoHighLevel, and Close work is quoted per project. Book a short call or send a message. The HubSpot service page and the CRM migration guide are a good start.
