Close CRM vs Proposify
A side-by-side editorial comparison of Close CRM and Proposify — release velocity, themes, recent moves, and the top alternatives to consider.
Close CRM vs Proposify: at a glance
What is Close CRM?
Close takes Chloe Chat out of beta for every customer, a month after OIDC SSO.
Close is shipping on three tracks. Its assistant Chloe is now generally available as Chloe Chat, answering pipeline questions, preparing a rep's day, analyzing data and taking actions from any page. Voice agents run on the rebuilt telephony layer with skills like Schedule Meeting, and the October 13 release added a central Security page with OIDC single sign-on alongside update-only Workflow triggers.
What is Proposify?
Proposify 3 launches after 2.5 years of development—the platform's first complete architectural reset.
Proposify shipped its v3 platform in May 2025, a ground-up rebuild that reframes the product as a proposal experience layer rather than a document editor. The Q1 2026 update indicates steady post-launch iteration, with the team shipping new integrations and incremental improvements now that the architectural work is done.
Close CRM vs Proposify: editorial side-by-side
Close CRM
5.0CRM
Close takes Chloe Chat out of beta for every customer, a month after OIDC SSO.
◆ Current state
Close is shipping on three tracks. Its assistant Chloe is now generally available as Chloe Chat, answering pipeline questions, preparing a rep's day, analyzing data and taking actions from any page. Voice agents run on the rebuilt telephony layer with skills like Schedule Meeting, and the October 13 release added a central Security page with OIDC single sign-on alongside update-only Workflow triggers.
◆ Where it's heading
Chloe has moved from a beta chat to the default way into the app: a command-palette fallback in September, notification threads, and now GA for all accounts. Paired with voice agents that act on phone numbers and Workflows that react to record updates, Close is building a CRM where assistants and automation do more of the work, with SSO and a security page arriving as the governance layer that buyers ask for.
◆ Prediction
Expect Chloe to gain more write actions and to connect with Workflows or voice-agent skills now that it is GA; the truncated entry doesn't list which actions it can take today.
Proposify
0.0CRM
Proposify 3 launches after 2.5 years of development—the platform's first complete architectural reset.
◆ Current state
Proposify shipped its v3 platform in May 2025, a ground-up rebuild that reframes the product as a proposal experience layer rather than a document editor. The Q1 2026 update indicates steady post-launch iteration, with the team shipping new integrations and incremental improvements now that the architectural work is done.
◆ Where it's heading
The 2.5-year development cycle means v3 is a fundamental platform rewrite. With the foundation in place, Proposify is expanding through vertical-specific integrations (Aspire for field services), broadening the seat model (Collaborator seats for non-sales stakeholders), and building the automation layer that underpins future AI capabilities. The 2024 public API positions Proposify to be embedded in custom sales stacks.
◆ Prediction
The next phase is AI-assisted proposal drafting—the 2024 automation engine is a natural foundation for AI-generated content components. Competitors PandaDoc and GetAccept shipped AI features during the 2.5-year v3 development window; Proposify needs to close that gap in 2026.
