Detailed Review
Closely is a LinkedIn and email outreach tool with AI personalisation, data enrichment, AI sales agents and job change signals. Campaigns combine connection requests, profile visits, follow-ups and email steps, with automatic pausing on replies and limits meant to mimic human behaviour.
Integrations cover Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and GoHighLevel, and white label is included on every plan. One sender in its pricing is defined as one LinkedIn account plus one email inbox. Credits are used for emails, phone numbers and AI personalisations, so heavy enrichment users should model the monthly allowance carefully.
The terms name Esterson Limited as the contracting party, with Cyprus law and the courts of Nicosia, and the privacy policy gives its registered address as 75 Prodromou Avenue in Nicosia. The Cyprus company register was not checked, so the entity is taken from the vendor documents.
The same privacy policy states that its servers are in the USA and that data is generally processed and hosted outside the EU, which is the weakest residency position in this list. A buyer who needs European residency should therefore treat Closely as a contracting-entity choice only, and ask whether an EU region is on the roadmap.
Pricing is published in US dollars with a 40% annual discount. Starter costs USD 65 per month, or USD 39 billed annually, for one LinkedIn account. Growth costs USD 159, or USD 95, for three accounts and 3,000 bonus credits.
Essential costs USD 259, or USD 155, for five accounts and 5,000 credits. Every plan includes unlimited email accounts. A free trial is offered on paid plans but the pricing page does not state its length, and promotional codes appear on the page without end dates.
