Closely

LinkedIn and email outreach in one cloud platform

LinkedIn Automation

Overview

Closely is a cloud-based outreach platform that combines LinkedIn automation, email sequences, and a B2B lead database with an email finder. Teams build multichannel campaigns, save prospects through a Chrome extension, and run sequences across several LinkedIn accounts from a single workspace. Because it runs in the cloud with dedicated IPs and account warmup, it positions itself as a safer way to scale LinkedIn outreach without a browser plugin running locally.

The honest take

Where it breaks

Like all LinkedIn automation, Closely operates against LinkedIn's terms of service, so heavy automation can trigger account restrictions despite warmup and dedicated IPs. Its email and lead-database features are less polished than its LinkedIn core, and email extraction can be unreliable.

The verdict

Closely is a solid, affordable choice for solo operators, SMB teams, and agencies that want LinkedIn automation plus light email outreach in one cloud tool. Teams needing a serious email engine, a high-accuracy lead database, or deep CRM integrations will likely outgrow it and pair it with dedicated tools.

FAQ

Is Closely the same as Close the CRM?

No. Closely (closelyhq.com) is a LinkedIn automation and outreach platform. Close (close.com) is a separate sales CRM. They are unrelated products despite the similar name.

Does Closely automate LinkedIn safely?

It runs in the cloud with dedicated IPs and account warmup to reduce risk, but any LinkedIn automation carries account-restriction risk because it operates against LinkedIn's terms of service.

How does Closely pricing work?

Plans are seat-based on LinkedIn accounts, starting at $49/mo (or $29/mo billed annually). Higher tiers add monthly credits used for email sends, phone lookups, and AI personalization.

Does Closely include a lead database?

Yes, it includes a B2B contact database and email finder, consumed via credits. Some users report the email extraction is inconsistent and supplement it with a separate enrichment tool.

Can Closely run email campaigns too?

Yes, it supports email sequences with unlimited email accounts on paid plans, though reviewers note the email features are less mature than its LinkedIn automation.
