9 Best Gong Alternatives in 2026 (and Who Each One Fits)

Short answer

If you are leaving Gong because of price, the alternatives with published entry points are Avoma (from $19 per seat), Jiminny (from $83 per recording seat) and Airspeed (from $5K per year). If you are leaving because Gong only analyzes calls after they end, Clari Copilot, Salesloft Conversations, Attention and Observe.AI all offer real-time in-call guidance. If you are already standardized on ZoomInfo or Salesloft, Chorus and Salesloft Conversations bring conversation intelligence into that stack. And if you run a call center rather than a sales team — every call scored against your own criteria, in whichever languages your customers speak, priced by call volume instead of per seat — Nivision is the alternative built for that, with the honest caveat that live guidance is on its roadmap, not live.

Every claim about Gong and the nine alternatives below comes from a public page checked on 25 August 2026, cited at the end; third-party price estimates are labelled as such. Nivision is listed with the same "what you give up" column as everyone else.

What Gong is — and why teams look for an alternative

Gong describes itself as the "#1 AI OS for Revenue Teams": it captures calls, meetings and emails, transcribes them in 70+ languages, and runs AI agents for briefs, deal risk, forecasting and coaching. Founded by Amit Bendov and Eilon Reshef, headquartered in San Francisco with a large office in Ramat Gan, it reports 5,000+ customers and, in May 2026, ARR above $500 million with 55% year-over-year growth. It is the category benchmark for a reason.

The reasons teams still look elsewhere are specific and documented:

1. Price structure. Gong's own pricing page says licenses "are priced per user" and "there is a platform fee based on the number of users supported" — no list price. Third-party procurement data puts the median contract at about $54,900 a year, with $1,200–2,400 per seat per year and platform fees of $5,000–50,000 (Vendr, March 2026; MarketBetter, August 2026).
2. Post-call, not real-time. None of Gong's 17 listed AI agents provides in-call guidance; a competitor measures 5–15 minutes of processing for a 30-minute call. If agents need prompts during the conversation, Gong is not that product.
3. English-first AI features. Gong lists Hebrew (Israel) and 70+ other transcription languages, but its language page marks email labels, red-flag alerts, recommended to-dos and example-based smart trackers as English-only, and the UI ships in English and French.
4. Built for sales, not service. Scorecards, deal monitors and forecasting are sales-team constructs; QA, compliance and agent scoring for a customer-service or insurance floor are a different job.
5. Enterprise scope. Reviewers describe Gong as "more platform than a small sales team needs"; a 10-agent team pays for a great deal it will not use.

How we chose

Nine alternatives, selected for how directly they answer one of those five reasons — not for being "Gong but cheaper" across the board, which none of them is. For each we checked, on the vendor's own pages: what it is built for; whether it scores 100% of conversations; real-time or post-call; the official language list (Hebrew as the hard test case); published pricing; and commonly reported trade-offs, cited. Order is by segment — sales-team alternatives first, then contact-center — not an overall ranking.

Quick comparison

Sales-team alternatives

1. Avoma

Avoma is an all-in-one platform for customer-facing teams at startups and scaleups — AI meeting assistant, scheduler and lead router, conversation intelligence and revenue intelligence — with fully published pricing. It is the alternative most third-party lists put first for small and mid-sized sales teams, and the only one here you can price without a sales call.

Why teams choose it over Gong: per-seat prices from $19 (Startup), $29 (Organization) and $39 (Enterprise) per recorder seat, plus a $29 Conversation Intelligence add-on that brings auto call scoring, custom AI scorecards (SPICED, Sandler, MEDDICC), keyword trackers and a real-time Answer Assistant with live battlecards — something Gong does not offer. Viewer seats are free; there is a 14-day trial; Hebrew is listed among its 60+ transcription languages.

Trade-off: the all-in-one breadth is shallower than Gong's deal analytics and forecasting for a large revenue org; the full CI feature set costs the add-on on top of the base plan; G2 reviewers report note-taker drop-offs and transcripts that need a manual check; its own pages cite 60+, 70+ and 75+ languages inconsistently.

Pricing (avoma.com/pricing, 25 Aug 2026): Startup $19 / Organization $29 / Enterprise $39 per recorder seat per month, billed annually (monthly $29 / $39; Enterprise annual only, 10-seat minimum); Conversation Intelligence add-on $29/seat/month annually ($35 monthly). G2: 4.6/5 (1,363 reviews).

2. Chorus by ZoomInfo

Chorus is the conversation-intelligence product ZoomInfo acquired in 2021 for about $575 million (founded 2015 by Roy Raanani, Russell Levy and Micha Breakstone, with development in Tel Aviv). In 2026 it is marketed as "ZoomInfo Chorus AI" and sold as a module of the ZoomInfo platform.

Why teams choose it over Gong: if you already pay for ZoomInfo's contact and account data, Chorus ties recording, transcription, "same room speaker separation", scorecarding, KPI benchmarking and the new Chorus AI Chat (May 2026) to that same data layer — one vendor instead of two.

Trade-off: it is not a cheaper Gong; it is a premium add-on to a ZoomInfo subscription and the only public price figures we found came from a competitor's blog, so we are not quoting them; the official transcription-language list is not published, and Hebrew appears in no source we checked; real-time in-call guidance is not documented; reviews cite integration complexity, a steep learning curve and sync glitches (competitor-authored).

Pricing: not published (contact sales; ZoomInfo's pricing page is gated). G2: not verified — G2 blocks automated retrieval.

3. Clari Copilot (formerly Wingman)

Clari Copilot is the conversation-intelligence module of Clari's revenue orchestration platform, the product acquired as Wingman in June 2022. Since December 2025, Clari and Salesloft are one company.

Why teams choose it over Gong: live battlecards and real-time transcription during calls, playbooks and "gametapes" for coaching, and buyer signals that feed Clari Forecast and pipeline inspection — real-time guidance plus forecasting in one system, where Gong stays post-call. Integrations cover Zoom, Teams, Meet, Webex, dialers such as Aircall, Dialpad and RingCentral, and Salesforce, HubSpot and Pipedrive.

Trade-off: no public pricing — the third-party estimates we found ($120–160 per user per month standalone, $60–110 as an add-on, $15,000–75,000 implementations) come from vendors selling against Clari, so treat them as indicative only; the official language article does not load, and Hebrew appears in no source we checked; the merger left the combined company with two CI products (Copilot and Salesloft Conversations) and an open roadmap question.

Pricing: not published ("Get a quote"). G2: not verified — G2 blocks automated retrieval.

4. Salesloft Conversations

Salesloft folds conversation intelligence into its sales engagement platform: "you don't need a separate Conversation Intelligence solution — it's part of our all-in-one platform." Atlanta-based, 4,000+ customers, merged with Clari in December 2025.

Why teams choose it over Gong: if cadences already run in Salesloft, Conversations adds recording, transcription, AI-assisted scorecards, key moments, tracker trends, a coaching dashboard and — since the Summer 2026 release — live transcription and real-time battlecards, without a second contract.

Trade-off: Conversations is bundled into higher tiers (included in Advanced and Premier, an add-on for Essentials; per-tier list prices are reported by third-party procurement sites at roughly $75–200 per user per month — Vendr, 2026); the official transcription-language article does not load, so Hebrew is unconfirmed; reviewers cite bugs and sync issues with integrations and inconsistent support, and the company disclosed a Drift-related OAuth data-exfiltration incident affecting customers' Salesforce instances in August 2025.

Pricing: not published (request a call). G2: not verified — G2 blocks automated retrieval; GetApp 4.3/5 (232 reviews, Aug 2026).

5. Jiminny

Jiminny is a conversation-intelligence platform for revenue leaders that "captures and analyzes every email, phone and video call", with offices in London and Sofia and a steady 2025–2026 AI release cadence (AI exec reports, automatic CRM filling, multi-call Panorama analysis, AI call scoring for managers since April 2026).

Why teams choose it over Gong: a published entry point (Recording Seat from $83/month, Insights Seat from $42, Listener Seat free), 60+ transcription languages with Hebrew listed, AI call scoring and deal alerts, and dialer integrations that include 8x8, Aircall, CloudTalk, Dialpad, Five9, RingCentral and Amazon Connect — Gong-style coverage of email, phone and video at a mid-market price.

Trade-off: no AI real-time guidance — Jiminny's "live coaching" is a human manager joining a video call incognito; 12-month minimum contract; G2 reviewers mention transcription accuracy dropping with accents and background noise; Zoom support and in-person capture are not confirmed on Jiminny's own pages.

Pricing (jiminny.com/faq, 25 Aug 2026): Recording Seat from $83/month, Insights Seat from $42/month, Listener Seat $0; 12-month minimum; 14-day trial. G2: 4.6/5 (930 reviews).

6. Attention

Attention sells "AI agents that learn from your best sales conversations": it records meetings, calls and emails, then automates follow-ups, CRM field updates and coaching scorecards, with battlecards during live calls. New York-based.

Why teams choose it over Gong: the agentic layer — one-click CRM updates, follow-up emails "in less than 60 seconds", AI scorecards — plus in-call battlecards, which Gong lacks; transcription "across 100+ different languages" with "over 90% accuracy on average"; integrations with Zoom, Meet, Teams, Salesforce, HubSpot, Gmail, Outlook, Slack, Aircall and Dialpad.

Trade-off: pricing is not public (the pricing page returns 404) and the third-party figures we found range from $59 per user per month to "$25K–$200K+/year" — too wide and too poorly sourced to quote, so we don't; reviewers note no free plan and a smaller installed base than Gong or Chorus; Hebrew is not named on its language pages.

Pricing: not published. G2: not verified — third-party sources report 4.6/5 (67 reviews) and "4.9 stars" for the same product.

7. Airspeed (formerly Glyphic)

Airspeed — the May 2026 rebrand of Glyphic, teams in London and New York, $20M Series A led by DN Capital — positions itself as "the commercial brain for revenue teams": AI agents that turn every customer conversation into CRM updates, deal intelligence, follow-ups and coaching.

Why teams choose it over Gong: a stated entry price ("Plans start at $5K per year"), every rep scored on every call with cited transcript moments, write-back to any Salesforce or HubSpot field including picklists, structured summaries within about five minutes of a call, and Hebrew explicitly listed among 130+ supported languages. Its own positioning targets mid-market B2B teams of 20–200 reps.

Trade-off: post-call only — no real-time in-call guidance; the 95% accuracy claim is stated for English ("performance will vary by language"); reviewers note occasional over-summarising and coaching that is "still in its infancy"; no public tiers beyond the $5K entry point.

Pricing (goairspeed.com, 25 Aug 2026): "Plans start at $5K per year". G2: 4.9/5 from 45 reviews, as reported by Airspeed itself — not verified on G2.

Contact-center alternative

8. Observe.AI

Observe.AI is not a sales tool — it is an "Agentic CX Platform" for enterprise customer-service contact centers: Auto QA, conversation intelligence, real-time agent assist, coaching and insights copilots, screen recording and VoiceAI agents. It belongs on a Gong-alternatives list because many "Gong alternative" searches come from service floors that discover Gong is built for sales.

Why teams choose it over Gong: "Accurately automate 100% of QA evaluations with AI-powered scoring", real-time checklists, alerts and dynamic prompts for agents with a supervisor view of live conversations, and AI agents that resolve calls outright; 250+ integrations including 8x8, Aircall, Amazon Connect and Avaya; a 19,000-agent DoorDash deployment announced in July 2026.

Trade-off: enterprise-only — pricing is sales-led (a competitor claims a 100-seat minimum, which Observe.AI does not confirm publicly; the vendor's AWS Marketplace listing prices real-time AI at $828 per agent per 12 months); the most common review complaint is transcription accuracy; the official platform-wide language list could not be found and Hebrew is not listed anywhere.

Pricing: not published. G2: 4.6/5 (264 reviews, via G2's widget).

The call-center alternative

9. Nivision

Nivision is a conversation-intelligence platform for sales, service and contact centers: it transcribes and analyzes 100% of a team's phone calls, video meetings and in-person conversations in 60+ languages, and scores every conversation against criteria the organization defines — agent scoring, compliance flags, objections, custom fields — with a live dashboard, alerts and reports. The engine is trained on telephone-grade audio rather than podcast-grade audio, which is why accents, cross-talk and 8kHz lines are where it is strongest.

Why teams choose it over Gong: pricing is by call volume and team size rather than per user plus a platform fee, so scoring every agent does not mean licensing every agent; it is built for call centers (QA, agent-performance reports, compliance) rather than deal forecasting; and its language coverage is tested on the hard end — Hebrew, Arabic and heavily accented English on telephone lines, not just clean English meetings; it connects to Israeli telephony (Voipe, PayCall, Voicenter, KavKom, Mvoice) and Israeli CRMs (Origami as strategic partner, Fireberry) as well as Salesforce, Zoho and Monday; a meeting bot covers Zoom, Teams and Google Meet; and there is no per-seat licensing at all — Nivision's pricing page says "no rigid per-seat licensing". Nivision states 4–6 weeks to operational value.

Trade-off: no real-time in-call guidance — analysis is post-call (transcripts within minutes of the call), and live agent guidance, AI role-play training and an in-call knowledge agent are on the roadmap, not live; no self-serve signup, no free tier and no published price; it is a configured deployment for teams of roughly ten agents and up, not a personal note-taker; and its integration depth is strongest with Israeli telephony and CRM vendors — teams on US-centric dialers should confirm their stack first. There is no G2 listing yet.

Pricing: not published — usage-based by call volume and team size; contact Nivision.

When Gong is still the right choice

Be honest with yourself before switching. Gong remains the better choice if you are an enterprise revenue team that needs forecasting and deal-level analytics across thousands of conversations, wants the widest integration ecosystem (432 listed integrations, 51 dialers, 15 conferencing platforms), and can absorb per-user licenses plus a platform fee. Its 2026 releases — AI Coach, AI Builder for scorecards, an MCP server, custom agents — show the roadmap is not standing still. If in-call guidance, Hebrew-first analysis or call-center QA are not your problems, most of the alternatives above are solving something you do not have.

If your reason is more specific

• You need real-time guidance in a contact center: Balto (real-time guidance is its founding product; G2 4.8/5 from 594 reviews; 20 languages, no Hebrew) and Cresta (enterprise agent assist and QM, typically 100+ agents, quote-based).
• You are Salesforce-only and want a dialer included: Revenue.io — Salesforce-native, real-time "Moments" coaching, 15-seat minimum, quote-based.
• You mostly need meeting notes with some coaching: Fathom (free unlimited recordings; Business $25/user), Grain (from $15/seat) and Fireflies (from $10/seat) — meeting note-takers, not call-center platforms; see our meeting transcription tools comparison.
• You want CI bundled with a new phone system: Aircall AI Assist Pro (€49 per license on top of a €30–50 plan; 24 languages, no Hebrew).

How to choose

1. Name the reason you are leaving Gong. Price → Avoma, Jiminny, Airspeed. Real-time → Clari Copilot, Salesloft, Attention, Observe.AI. Stack consolidation → Chorus or Salesloft. Language or call-center fit → Nivision, or Convin for other multilingual floors.
2. Check the language page, not the sales deck. Hebrew is listed by Gong, Avoma, Jiminny, Airspeed and Nivision; not listed by Chorus, Clari, Salesloft (unconfirmed), Attention or Observe.AI as of 25 August 2026.
3. Ask for the contract shape. Platform fee or not, seat minimums, 12-month minimums (Jiminny), annual-only tiers (Avoma Enterprise), or usage-based by call volume (Nivision).
4. Confirm the channels. Which dialers and PBXs feed the platform automatically — a meeting-first tool will not see phone calls, and an Israeli PBX will not appear in most US integration lists.
5. Pilot on your own recordings before an annual commitment.

Bottom line

• Choose Avoma if you want the most transparent all-in-one alternative for an SMB or mid-market sales team, with live answer cards included.
• Choose Chorus by ZoomInfo or Salesloft Conversations if you are consolidating on ZoomInfo or Salesloft.
• Choose Clari Copilot if real-time battlecards feeding a revenue-orchestration platform is the goal and you have enterprise budget.
• Choose Jiminny or Airspeed for Gong-style coverage with a published entry price and Hebrew in the language list; Attention if agentic CRM automation matters most.
• Choose Observe.AI if you run a customer-service contact center and need 100% QA plus real-time assist at enterprise scale.
• Choose Nivision if your call center works in Hebrew or across many languages and you want every call and meeting classified and reported on top of your existing PBX and CRM — and you can wait for real-time guidance.
• Stay on Gong if you are an enterprise revenue team and forecasting depth is the job.
