Salesflare’s whole pitch is that you shouldn’t have to type contact and company data into a CRM by hand. It pulls names, job titles, company details, and social profiles automatically from email signatures, LinkedIn, and public data sources, then keeps deals updated from your inbox and calendar with minimal manual entry. That’s a genuinely different starting point from Close, a CRM built around calling and email sequencing as the daily workflow, with an in-app power dialer and predictive dialer rather than autofill as the headline feature. This guide breaks down what Salesflare actually costs per seat, how its three tiers compare, and where Close fits (or doesn’t) if your team’s real problem is outbound volume rather than keeping records clean.

Salesflare pricing plans
n
Per Salesflare’s own pricing page as of August 2026, there are three tiers, billed per user per month, each cheaper when paid annually:
n
| Plan | Monthly (billed monthly) | Monthly (billed annually) | What it adds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Growth | $39/user | $29/user | Automated contact/company data capture, email and link tracking, LinkedIn and email sidebars, mobile app, personalized email campaigns, 5 lead credits/month. |
| Pro (most popular) | $64/user | $49/user | Everything in Growth, plus multi-step email workflows, user permission management, custom dashboards, 100 lead credits/month. |
| Enterprise | $124/user | $99/user | Everything in Pro, plus guided setup and training, data migration help, a dedicated account manager, 250 lead credits/month. Requires a minimum of 5 users. |

Salesflare offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required, across all three tiers. There’s no free-forever plan — every seat is paid from day one after the trial ends.

Salesflare cost per seat
n
The per-seat number that actually lands on your invoice depends entirely on billing cadence and headcount. Annual billing is the materially cheaper path at every tier — Growth drops from $39 to $29/user (a 26% discount), Pro from $64 to $49/user (23% off), and Enterprise from $124 to $99/user (20% off) — so a monthly-billed quote will look meaningfully worse than what most published comparisons cite. Enterprise also carries a real floor: it requires at least 5 seats, so a 2-3 person team can’t access dedicated onboarding or migration help at any price without buying seats it doesn’t need.
n
Lead credits are the other real per-seat cost variable. Growth includes only 5 lead credits per month — thin if your enrichment workflow needs more than a handful of new company/contact lookups — while Pro jumps to 100 and Enterprise to 250. Running out mid-cycle means buying add-on credit packs at $39 (250 credits), $69 (500), or $129 (1,000) per month, on top of the seat price. A team evaluating Salesflare purely on the $29 Growth headline number, without checking whether 5 lead credits will actually cover its enrichment volume, is likely to end up paying for Pro or add-on credits in practice.

Salesflare vs Close CRM
n
These two products are not really competing on the same axis. Salesflare’s value is minimizing manual data entry — it watches your inbox and calendar and fills the CRM in for you. Close’s value is running high-volume outbound — calling and email sequencing are core, native workflows, not add-ons.
n
| Dimension | Salesflare | Close |
|---|---|---|
| Core pitch | Automatic contact/company enrichment and data entry from email signatures and social profiles | Calling and sequencing-first outbound workflow |
| Entry price (annual) | $29/user/mo (Growth) | $9/user/mo (Solo, capped at 1 user) |
| Team-usable entry price (annual) | $29/user/mo (Growth, no seat minimum) | $35/user/mo (Essentials) |
| Built-in dialer | Not a core feature | Power dialer (Growth tier), predictive dialer (Scale tier) |
| Data entry automation | Core feature at every tier | Not a comparable focus — CRM fields are largely populated manually or via integrations |
| Free trial | 30 days, no card required | 14 days, no card required |
n
n
On price alone, Salesflare Growth ($29/user/mo annual) and Close Essentials ($35/user/mo annual) sit close together for a small team’s entry tier. The real decision isn’t the six-dollar gap — it’s which workflow your reps actually spend their day in. If they’re on the phone and sending sequenced outbound email most of the day, Close’s dialer and sequencing are built for that motion. If they’re spending real time updating contact records, chasing down company details, or re-entering data that arrived by email, Salesflare’s enrichment is solving an actual, different pain point that Close doesn’t attempt to solve at all.

Is Salesflare worth it?
n
It depends on what’s actually costing your team time today. Salesflare is worth it if manual CRM upkeep — typing in contacts, chasing job titles and company details, re-entering information that already exists in an email signature or LinkedIn profile — is the real drag on your pipeline, and your team isn’t running a high-volume calling operation. The automated enrichment genuinely reduces that specific kind of busywork, and Growth’s $29/user/mo annual price is competitive for a small team that doesn’t need Enterprise’s 5-seat minimum or dedicated onboarding.
n
It’s a weaker fit if outbound calling volume is your actual bottleneck. Salesflare doesn’t build its plans around a dialer the way Close does, so a team whose day is built around cold calls and call sequencing will find Close’s phone-first workflow does more of the daily job natively, without needing a separate dialer tool bolted on. Lead-credit ceilings on the lower tiers are also worth checking against your real enrichment volume before committing — 5 credits/month on Growth is easy to exceed.
nn
The honest tradeoff
n
We’re not going to pretend Close is the right buy for every team reading this page. If your team’s real pain point is CRM data hygiene and manual data entry — reps spending time on records instead of selling, or a pipeline full of incomplete/stale contact data — Salesflare’s autofill and enrichment focus is a genuinely better fit than Close, which is built around phone-first outbound and doesn’t automate data entry the same way. Close will not fix a data-hygiene problem; it isn’t trying to.
n
Close is the better buy when the bottleneck is the opposite one: your reps need to make and log a high volume of calls, run multi-step outbound sequences, and work a dialer as their primary daily tool, and typing a few extra fields into a CRM record isn’t the thing slowing them down. Buy Salesflare if your problem is dirty, incomplete, manually-maintained data. Buy Close if your problem is outbound call volume and sequencing. Buying based on which pain point your team actually has, not on price alone, is the honest way to make this call.

FAQ
n
What are Salesflare’s pricing plans?
n
Three tiers as of August 2026: Growth ($39/user/mo monthly, $29 annual), Pro ($64/user/mo monthly, $49 annual), and Enterprise ($124/user/mo monthly, $99 annual, 5-user minimum). All three include a 30-day free trial with no credit card required.
n
How much does Salesflare cost per seat?
n
Annual billing is the real number to plan around: $29/user/month on Growth, $49/user/month on Pro, and $99/user/month on Enterprise (minimum 5 seats). Monthly billing runs 20-26% higher per seat depending on tier, and lead-credit overages ($39-$129/month for add-on packs) are a real extra cost if your enrichment volume exceeds your tier’s included credits.
n
How does Salesflare compare to Close CRM?
n
They solve different problems. Salesflare automates contact/company data entry from email signatures and social profiles; Close is built around a native power/predictive dialer and email sequencing for high-volume outbound. Entry pricing is close (Salesflare Growth $29/user/mo vs Close Essentials $35/user/mo, both annual), so the deciding factor should be which workflow — data automation or calling volume — is actually your team’s bottleneck.
n
Is Salesflare worth it?
n
Yes, for a team whose real cost is manual CRM upkeep and incomplete contact records, and no, for a team whose real bottleneck is outbound call volume — Salesflare doesn’t build around a dialer the way a calling-first CRM does. Check your lead-credit needs against the tier you’re buying before committing, since Growth’s 5 credits/month is thin for an enrichment-heavy workflow.

The bottom line
n
- n
- Salesflare runs three tiers — Growth ($29/user/mo annual), Pro ($49), Enterprise ($99, 5-seat minimum) — each with a 30-day free trial.
- Lead credits (5/100/250 per month by tier) are a real ceiling; enrichment-heavy teams can exceed Growth’s allotment and need add-on credits or a higher tier.
- Salesflare’s core value is automated data entry from email signatures and social profiles; Close’s core value is a native calling/sequencing workflow — they’re not solving the same problem.
- Entry-tier pricing lands close together (Salesflare Growth $29 vs Close Essentials $35, both annual, both team-usable) — pick based on workflow fit, not the small price gap.
- Buy Salesflare if manual data entry and CRM hygiene are the real drag; buy Close if outbound calling volume is.
