Clara AI SDR vs. Close

Clara is a face-to-face AI SDR that appears as a lifelike video presence on your website not a text chatbot. Clara engages website visitors in live video conversations, shares her screen to present product demos, navigates live web pages during the call, qualifies leads through natural dialogue, handles objections, and books meetings directly into your sales team's calendar. Clara operates 24/7 across every time zone, powered by TruGen.ai's real-time avatar technology.

Close is a sales CRM with built-in calling, SMS, email, automation, and AI, designed for founders, startups, agencies, and growing sales teams. The platform helps businesses manage leads, communicate with prospects, track opportunities, and automate follow-up from a single system. Close is commonly used by teams that want their CRM to support sales execution, not just store customer data. Users can call, email, text, manage pipelines, assign tasks, create workflows, run outreach sequences, and track sales activity directly inside the platform.
