Streak vs Close

How to migrate?

Close is designed for sales teams that prioritize calling. Its workflows are optimized around outbound dialing, call tracking, and high-volume sales activity. For teams where email is secondary, that focus makes sense.

But for email-first teams, Close can feel misaligned. Email exists, but it’s not the center of the experience. Conversations often feel detached from the broader workflow, and managing deals from the inbox isn’t the primary design goal.

Streak flips that emphasis. Email is the foundation, not an afterthought. Deals are tied directly to conversations, pipelines update from your inbox, and collaboration happens where communication already lives. For teams that sell and build relationships primarily through email, Streak keeps CRM aligned with reality rather than forcing a call-centric model.
