Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Cloze

  • Four paid tiers run from $17 to $42 per user per month, and each withholds a different set of features rather than simply adding capacity
  • Campaign automation, marketing mail and generative AI require the Business Platinum plan at $42 per user per month
  • Lead routing, sub team hierarchies and enterprise controls are Platinum only
  • Even the Business Gold plan at $29 per user excludes the matching engine and lead capture
  • The concierge service is an add on at $20 per user per month with a $500 monthly minimum
  • Every published rate assumes annual billing

Homebase

  • Free Basic plan is capped at 10 employees and a single location
  • Paid plans are billed per location per month ($30, $70 or $120), so a multi-location business pays the rate again for each site
  • Payroll is a separate add-on at $39 per month plus $6 per month per employee paid
  • Tip Manager and Task Manager are further add-ons billed per location per month on top of the base plan
