Why do people switch from Close to Routine?

Close is a CRM designed for fast-moving sales teams. With built-in calling, email automation, pipeline tracking, and powerful activity reporting, it helps reps stay on top of deals and scale outreach efficiently. It’s purpose-built for closing, not planning.

Routine offers a broader canvas, connecting your contacts and conversations with everything else you need to built an efficient sales process: tasks, meetings, notes, customers, projects etc. Also Routine creates a unified workspace by synchronizing data from all the services from your stack in order to remove data silos and streamline workflows.

Routine combines tasks, calendar management, and documentation in a UI that enables optimal week-to-week planning. My favorite feature is the dashboard, where I can quickly capture things that otherwise would fall through the cracks.

I’ve tried about every app on the market over the past ten years, and for the first time, I have stuck to one after using Routine for the past two months. And I love the integration with Google Calendar and Google Tasks.
