Close vs. HighLevel
Choose the higher-rated CRM with built-in sales workflow automations to help you grow.
Three big reasons to choose Close over HighLevel
Powerful sales automations to nurture every lead
Workflow automation tools are a non-negotiable in your CRM. Close's Power Dialer, Predictive Dialer, AI call transcription, and multi-channel workflows help you efficiently and smoothly nurture leads from start to finish.
HighLevel lacks the automated dialer and workflow automation, meaning your team moves (and sells) slower.

Close vs. HighLevel: Key differences
Communication tools you need to sell
Our CRM comes with all the built-in communication tools you need to qualify and nurture leads faster. Save time and money with Close's dialer, SMS, and email functionality—no third-party tools required. Plus, powerful business phone features like call routing, advanced phone menu, call coaching, and automatic call transcription will truly take your selling to the next level.
HighLevel lacks a complete built-in calling solution. You'll need to buy and manage a separate calling system and integrate the two. Fingers crossed your reps like working in multiple tools at the same time. 🤞
Powerful workflow automation
Close's workflows automate your follow-ups to keep your leads engaged and your pipeline flowing. Never let another lead slip through the cracks from a missed follow-up.
HighLevel lacks the powerful sales automation tools needed for multi-touch sales processes. HighLevel's communication tools are primarily manual—which can be a recipe for slow follow-up and lost sales opportunities.
Speed and reliability
Close is built for fast performance with streamlined UI designed specifically for the needs and workflows of sales reps. Customers who switch from HighLevel to Close report that our CRM is fast, smooth, and not "glitchy" by comparison. We're flattered!
HighLevel offers a wide variety of features, but users often tell us it's prone to freezing and glitches.
