Closely review
A focused multichannel tool for teams coordinating LinkedIn and email follow-up.
Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Closely is a cloud-based sales engagement platform for sales teams, agencies, recruiters, founders, and marketers. Its core focus is coordinated LinkedIn prospecting and email outreach: campaigns can combine connection requests, LinkedIn follow-ups, and emails in conditional sequences. The platform also includes account warm-up, a shared inbox for LinkedIn and email replies, data enrichment, AI personalization, analytics, CRM synchronization, and workflow automation. It suits teams that want social and email follow-up managed in one workspace rather than a tool centered on calling.
The published plans show a 7-day free trial and paid access after that. Starter costs $49 per month with monthly billing or $29 per month with annual billing, and includes 1 LinkedIn account plus unlimited email accounts; the monthly version also lists 1 sender with 1 LinkedIn account and 1 email inbox. Growth costs $127 monthly or $87 monthly billed annually, with 3 LinkedIn accounts, unlimited email accounts, and 3,000 bonus credits per month. Essential costs $205 monthly or $145 monthly billed annually, with 5 LinkedIn accounts, unlimited email accounts, and 5,000 bonus credits per month. Growth and Essential also include credits allocated to emails, phones, or AI personalizations. Custom offers custom LinkedIn account quantity and monthly bonus credits.
Closely fits teams working across HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, GoHighLevel, or Zoho CRM, with additional Webhooks, Gmail, and Outlook integrations. It runs on the web and through a Chrome extension, while the shared inbox keeps LinkedIn and email replies together. The main boundary is channel depth: phone credits are for finding phone numbers, not documented native calling, so teams needing calling inside their engagement platform should choose a different option. Closely is a strong match for structured LinkedIn-and-email workflows, especially where CRM synchronization and AI-assisted personalization matter; it is less suitable for phone-first sales programs.
