Key differences
Where Inkris and Close diverge
How dialing is priced
Close includes calling on all plans but gates its Power Dialer behind higher tiers. Inkris puts power and parallel dialing in the $99 telephony licence — same price for every rep.
Parallel dialing
Close's multi-line Predictive Dialer sits on its top tier. Inkris's parallel dialer is included — no tier jump to dial multiple lines.
Total cost per rep
Close runs roughly $49–149+/user/mo depending on tier. Inkris is $55/seat + $99 telephony licence, flat, with every mode unlocked.
SMS
Both platforms do built-in SMS well. In Inkris, texts thread with calls and deals in one workspace timeline.
Beyond the sales team
Inkris includes projects, workforce management, and team structure — the operations layer small companies otherwise buy separately.
Who each is for
Close targets inside-sales teams, often US SaaS. Inkris targets small outbound teams — mortgage, insurance, investment outreach, agencies — with Canadian and US telephony.
