Hear from businesses that switch to Salesmate

After trying Close.io, I switched to Salesmate, and never looked back. The interface is intuitive, packed with features but still easy to use. Adding contacts and deals is a breeze, the mobile app is fantastic, and the support team responds lightning fast. For the price, nothing else comes close.

REVIEWS

Why people love Salesmate over Close?

Don't just take our word for it – see what real customers are saying!

Isaiah F.

They don’t answer calls or reply to emails. How can a CRM company ignore its own leads?

Zac Lancaster.

No transparency in pricing. Close suddenly hiked my price by 2.5x, even though I didn’t use some core features. Totally unfair.

Stephen O'Carroll

Too much manual admin work and limited automation slow us down, especially with lead creation.
