Editorial Face-off
The Case for Breakcold
“Breakcold stands out as a genuinely innovative AI-native CRM that automates the tedious parts of pipeline management. Perfect for small teams, agencies, and founders who sell through LinkedIn and social channels. Not yet ready for enterprise but excellent value for its target market.”
The Case for Close
“Close is the best CRM for small sales teams that prioritize speed and simplicity. The built-in multichannel communication (call, email, SMS) is a genuine differentiator. AI features are practical and well-integrated. If you're a small team that mostly does outbound, Close should be your first CRM.”
