Which Start Closing alternative should I choose?

It depends on your size. Laguna is the closest match on what Start Closing actually does. If you need something more established, sort the table by team size — larger teams generally mean more support and a longer track record. If budget is the constraint, the earlier-batch companies are usually the ones still competing on price.

Is Start Closing still active?

Start Closing is no longer listed as active, so anyone still relying on it should plan a migration to one of the alternatives above.

How was this list put together?

Every company here is Y Combinator-backed and was matched to Start Closing on what it actually does — its own description of its product — rather than on a broad category label. Batch, team size and operating status come from the YC directory and are shown as-is. We do not rank by payment.
