Switching from Close.

What actually moves, what changes, and what to export first. Grounded in Close's published plan details (checked 2026-09-29).

Close is the CRM and the dialer in one; DialBreeze is not a CRM, so your pipeline, email and SMS sequences stay in another tool and lists move by CSV.
Close's dialer starts on Growth at $109/user; DialBreeze Pro is $49/seat, but factor in the CRM you will still need.
Dispositions flow out of DialBreeze through a signed CRM webhook; point it at your replacement CRM and verify delivery with a test event during setup.
