IronVail vs Close
Built for outbound — with a sharper edge on what's going cold.
Close is the closest thing to IronVail: an outbound-first CRM built for people who sell. Where we differ is emphasis and price. IronVail leads with the never-cold attention engine and rep-first reporting, at a lower entry point.
| IronVail | Close | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Outbound AEs & small teams | Outbound AEs & small teams |
| Attention engine | Never-cold queue is the core | Activity-driven, less central |
| Sequences | Included at $12 | Start at Essentials — $35/user/mo annual |
| Calling & dialer | None — we're email-outbound first | Excellent built-in calling; minutes & SMS billed as add-ons |
| Price to actually run outbound | $12 flat, no add-ons | $35-99+ per seat, plus usage credits on top |
| Forecasting | Weighted forecast + gap-to-quota | Reporting-focused |
Competitor prices and tier gating are list prices as of July 2026 and can change, so check their pricing page for current numbers. Ours is simpler: one plan, $12 through 2026 ($25 for new signups from 2027), and whatever you subscribe at is yours for life.
Choose IronVail if…
- You want the never-cold queue to drive your day, not just call logging.
- You want weighted forecasting and gap-to-quota built in.
- You want a lower founding price that locks in for life.
Choose Close if…
- You lean heavily on built-in calling/power-dialing today.
- You're already invested in Close's workflow and integrations.
Close is a genuinely good outbound CRM, and if you're happy there, stay. The difference is what sits at the center: they built around the phone, we built around the cold queue.
