Shortlist
Gong alternatives
Current prices, honest strengths, and who each one is actually for.
The short answer
The main alternatives to Gong are Chorus by ZoomInfo, Clari Copilot (now Salesloft), Avoma, Fathom, Otter and Axelize. They split on one question: report on calls after they end, or change what gets said during them. Gong and Chorus own the first at roughly $1,300 to $1,800 per user per year, Avoma sells it in modules from $19 a seat, Fathom and Otter cover notes for less, and Axelize does only the second.
Every option, with what it costs
Prices checked on each vendor's own pricing page on 2026-09-23. This category reprices often, so treat anything older than a quarter as a starting point rather than a quote.

Axelize appears on this list because we make it. Every other row is here because a buyer comparing Gong would be wrong not to look at it.
Every option, and when to pick it
-
Chorus by ZoomInfo
Pick it if you already pay for ZoomInfo and want call recording and deal analytics on the same contract and the same contact data. Skip it if you are leaving Gong over cost. Chorus is sold on custom plans in the same price band, with a reported seat minimum.
-
Clari Copilot (now Salesloft)
Pick it if your team already runs Salesloft or Clari. Clari Copilot now lives inside Salesloft's conversation intelligence, which records and analyses every call and surfaces battlecards live. Skip it if you want a standalone call tool with a price on the page. It is one module of a larger engagement and forecasting platform, and nothing is published.
-
Avoma
Pick it if you want recording, scorecards and forecasting without an enterprise contract. Avoma sells conversation and revenue intelligence as add-ons on a $19 seat. Skip it if you expect the analytics in the headline price. Each of those add-ons is another $29 a seat, so a full seat costs about four times the $19.
-
Claap
Pick it if you want Gong's record, score and fill-the-CRM loop at a published price. Claap scores calls against MEDDPICC, BANT or SPICED and fills HubSpot or Salesforce. Skip it if you need that on a budget. CRM autofill and coaching start on Claap's €48 Business seat, twice the Pro price.
-
Sybill
Pick it if you want Gong's deal context without the contract. Sybill records calls with an invisible recorder and answers questions across calls, emails and dialer calls. Skip it if you need CRM autofill on the cheaper plan. It starts on the $90 Business seat and covers 10 fields there.
-
Fathom
Pick it if the call record and the coaching were what you used Gong for. Fathom's Business seat adds scorecards and CRM sync at $25 a user, and Fathom offers it free for the rest of a Gong contract. Skip it if anyone above you reads Gong's pipeline forecast. Fathom sells meeting capture and coaching, not forecasting.
-
Otter.ai
Pick it if what you miss is a searchable transcript of every meeting, sales or not, and a free tier of 300 minutes a month. Skip it if you need to know how deals are going. Otter records what was said and does not score deals or forecast pipeline.
-
Axelize
Pick it if the gap Gong showed you is what reps say live, and you would rather have no recording bot in the call. Axelize writes the next sentence while the buyer is talking. Skip it if you need recordings, forecasting or team scorecards, or your calls run on Zoom or Teams. Axelize does none of those. It works with Google Meet, and Zoom and Microsoft Teams are on the roadmap.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the cheapest Gong alternative?
- Fathom's free plan records and transcribes every call, and Otter's free tier gives 300 transcription minutes a month. Neither forecasts pipeline. If the reporting is what you bought Gong for, Avoma is the cheapest way to keep it: a $19 seat plus a $29 add-on each for conversation and revenue intelligence, billed annually.
- Is there a Gong alternative that does not record calls?
- Granola and Axelize both work without recording audio or video. Granola produces notes; Axelize produces live suggestions. Every other tool on this list captures the call as media.
- Do I need to replace Gong at all?
- Usually not. Gong is a reporting system and most teams that are unhappy with it are unhappy about coaching latency rather than reporting. Adding a live tool alongside it is cheaper and less disruptive than a migration.
