Top Gong Alternatives in 2026: 10 Conversation Intelligence Platforms Compared

The best Gong alternatives in 2026 are Proshort, Salesloft (now including Clari), Chorus by ZoomInfo, Outreach Kaia, Avoma, Jiminny, Modjo, Sybill, Fireflies.ai and Salesforce Conversation Intelligence. Choose by the job Gong is not doing for you: private help for reps during live calls, coaching reps use, CRM automation, or low-cost meeting notes.

Disclosure: Proshort is our product, so it is listed first. We checked every other vendor's own website in October 2026 and describe each one by what it says it does. Where another tool is the better fit, we say so.

Key takeaways

• Teams leave Gong for four reasons: they want help during the call rather than a score afterwards, coaching reps actually use, a cost they can forecast, or a tool that fits the stack they already pay for.

• Proshort, Salesloft, Outreach Kaia, Avoma and Fireflies.ai say on their own sites that reps get guidance while the call is happening. Chorus, Jiminny, Modjo, Sybill and Salesforce focus on analysis after the call.

• Clari Copilot (formerly Wingman) is now part of Salesloft, and Momentum is now part of Salesforce. Check ownership before you sign a multi-year contract.

• Ask every finalist to migrate your Gong recordings during onboarding, so your call library and coaching history survive the switch.

Why do teams look for a Gong alternative?

Gong describes itself as an AI operating system for revenue teams. It records and transcribes calls, detects topics and sentiment, tracks deals and pipeline, updates the CRM and runs coaching scorecards and AI agents (Gong conversation intelligence). For many enterprises it is the default choice, and for good reason.

When teams look elsewhere, the reason is usually fit, not quality:

• Timing. Gong is strongest after the call. Its help docs describe the Zoom app as a place to take notes and see how the conversation is going; we did not find live answer prompts for reps described on its site. A rep who loses a deal on a pricing question needed the answer while the buyer was still talking.

• Cost structure. Gong's pricing page describes a per-user license plus a platform fee and does not list amounts (Gong pricing). Smaller teams often want a price they can model before the first call.

• Adoption. Managers like dashboards; reps use what helps on their next call. If reps never open the tool, the data does not change behavior.

• Stack fit. Teams already on Salesloft, Outreach, ZoomInfo or Salesforce can often get conversation intelligence from a vendor they already pay.

The 10 best Gong alternatives at a glance

"Guidance during the call" means the vendor's own site says reps get prompts, answers or battlecards while the conversation is happening. We checked each site in October 2026.

The best Gong alternatives, reviewed

1. Proshort: best for private help during the call

Proshort's assistant, Aria, joins Zoom, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams calls and puts the right answer, the proof point and the next question on the rep's screen the moment the buyer asks. Only the rep sees it; the buyer sees a normal meeting with the standard recording notice. Answers come from your battlecards, docs and won calls, with the source shown, in under a second.

After the call, Aria writes summaries, drafts the follow-up email for the rep to review and updates the CRM after the rep's OK. Managers get call scoring against your own playbook, AI role-play and Ask Aria for questions across every deal. Existing Gong, Chorus or Fireflies recordings migrate during onboarding. Pricing is $75 per rep per month, plus Aria Live at $3 per call hour on the calls you choose.

Not the best fit if you need a dialer and email sequencing in the same product; Salesloft or Outreach is closer to that.

2. Salesloft (now including Clari): best for one-vendor engagement and forecasting

Salesloft and Clari completed their merger in December 2025. In September 2026 the company moved to a single Salesloft brand and kept the Clari name only for Clari Forecast (Salesloft newsroom). Clari Copilot, formerly Wingman, now redirects to Salesloft Conversation Intelligence.

Salesloft's conversation intelligence page lists call recording with chapters and talk-time analysis, AI summaries and follow-ups, CRM updates and real-time AI guidance during calls. It fits best when your reps already work in Salesloft cadences.

3. Chorus by ZoomInfo: best for teams already on ZoomInfo

ZoomInfo announced its acquisition of Chorus.ai in 2021 (ZoomInfo press release), and Chorus is still sold as a named product. ZoomInfo lists call recording and analysis, onboarding and coaching, deal intelligence with CRM sync, and market and competitive intelligence. It is a natural pick if ZoomInfo already powers your prospecting. For the head-to-head, read our Gong vs Chorus comparison.

4. Outreach (Kaia): best for Outreach customers who want live cards

Outreach calls itself an agentic AI platform for revenue teams. Its Kaia assistant transcribes meetings in real time, surfaces content cards and battlecards during the conversation, and produces summaries and action items with CRM sync (Outreach Kaia). It makes most sense when Outreach is already your engagement platform.

5. Avoma: best for notes, scheduling and coaching in one tool

Avoma positions itself as an AI meeting assistant plus conversation and revenue intelligence. It lists AI notes, a scheduler and lead router, AI call scoring and coaching, deal-risk alerts and forecasting. Its site also describes real-time sales guidance during calls, with the answer assistant in a conversation intelligence add-on, and it publishes its prices.

6. Jiminny: best for coaching-led teams

Jiminny describes itself as a conversation and revenue intelligence platform with an AI notetaker, scorecards, coaching playlists, deal-risk and competitor insights and CRM filling. Its live coaching feature lets a manager join a call and message the rep privately, which is human coaching rather than AI prompts. Pricing is quoted per team.

7. Modjo: best for deal and coaching insights with CRM auto-fill

Modjo calls itself an AI-powered revenue intelligence platform. Its site lists transcription in more than 100 languages, CRM auto-fill, churn and competitor signals, and AI agents such as Challenge My Deal. It does not publish prices.

8. Sybill: best for reps who want CRM updates written for them

Sybill describes itself as an AI sales assistant and personal deal copilot. It auto-updates CRM fields after every sales conversation, writes pre-meeting briefs and summaries, and offers deal inspection, coaching modules and an MCP server. It publishes pricing, including a free tier (Sybill pricing).

9. Fireflies.ai: best for budget-conscious teams that mainly need notes

Fireflies.ai calls itself an AI assistant for meetings. It transcribes in more than 100 languages, writes summaries, offers AI search, talk-time and sentiment analytics and CRM automations, and its Live Assist feature gives suggestions during meetings. It is a meeting notetaker first rather than a sales coaching platform, and it publishes pricing.

10. Salesforce Conversation Intelligence: best for Salesforce-first teams

Salesforce completed its acquisition of Momentum on March 2, 2026 (Salesforce news), and its product page now reads "Conversation Intelligence, powered by Momentum." It covers call insights on competitors, objections and pricing, summaries, coaching clips and call search inside Sales Cloud, and Salesforce publishes its per-user price.

Dropped since the last version of this list: Wingman, which is now part of Salesloft, and Salesroom, whose website was unreachable when we checked in October 2026. If enablement content and training are the main job rather than call analysis, compare an enablement platform instead; our sales enablement platforms guide covers Mindtickle, Allego and others.

Which Gong alternative is best for your team?

Match the tool to the moment where you lose deals:

• Reps stall on questions they cannot answer live: Proshort, or Salesloft or Outreach if you want guidance inside your engagement platform.

• You already pay for ZoomInfo: Chorus.

• Salesforce is your system of record and you want one vendor: Salesforce Conversation Intelligence.

• Coaching programs and scorecards come first: Jiminny, Modjo, or Proshort's playbook scoring and AI role-play.

• CRM hygiene is the pain: Sybill, or Proshort's AI agents and CRM updates.

• You need meeting notes on a small budget: Fireflies.ai or Avoma.

A quick test: list the last five deals you lost and write down where the deciding moment happened. If it happened on a call, buy for the call. If it happened in a forecast meeting, buy for the pipeline; our guide to revenue intelligence platforms covers that job.

How do you switch from Gong without losing call history?

1. Migrate the library first. Ask the new vendor to move your Gong recordings during onboarding, with deal, account and participant metadata attached. Proshort migrates existing Gong, Chorus or Fireflies recordings as part of setup.

2. Rebuild scorecards from your playbook, not from the new tool's defaults. Pick the three skills that decide your deals, such as discovery depth, objection handling and next-step commitment.

3. Check consent by region. The UK ICO says organizations that record calls must tell people they are recording and why (ICO guidance). Zoom lets hosts show a recording consent disclaimer to every participant (Zoom support).

4. Run a two-to-four-week pilot with one team on the new tool and compare rep usage, manager time spent coaching and the quality of CRM updates.

5. Work back from the renewal date so the migration is finished before Gong's term ends.

How to get value from conversation intelligence after the switch

Tools do not change behavior; weekly habits do. Teams that get the most from conversation intelligence keep a short routine:

• Review one call per rep per week against two or three playbook skills, not twenty.

• Turn the best answer to each recurring objection into a battlecard reps can reach on the call.

• Ask questions across calls instead of rewatching recordings. Useful prompts: "What buying signals came up in this conversation?", "Which MEDDICC fields are still empty on this deal?", "Which competitors came up this month and what did buyers say?", "Which buyer questions did we leave unanswered?"

• Rehearse the weak moments in role-play before the next call.

• Automate the recap and CRM update so reps spend the saved time on buyers.

Where Proshort fits, and where it does not

Proshort is built for the moment Gong reviews later: the buyer's question. Aria detects objections as they happen and shows the answer that has won before (real-time objection handling). The contextual graph connects playbooks, calls, objections, competitors and wins and is updated after every call. The AI playbook is refreshed every 24 hours from the questions buyers actually raise.

After the call, Ask Aria answers questions across every deal and call with sources, AI agents run on every meeting and write back to CRM fields, and you can ask about calls, deals and accounts from the Proshort app in ChatGPT or from Claude (MCP). Proshort connects to 30+ tools, including Salesforce, HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics 365, and is SOC 2 Type 2 and ISO 27001 certified.

"The Proshort analysis we get right out of the box relative to what we've seen in Gong is just much more accurate." Elias Reynoso, Head of Revenue Operations, Vitable Health (read the Vitable Health case study)

Where another tool fits better: if you want a dialer, sequences and conversation intelligence from one vendor, choose Salesloft or Outreach. If you only need meeting notes, a notetaker such as Fireflies.ai costs less.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best alternative to Gong?

It depends on the gap you are filling. Proshort is the strongest choice when reps need private, sourced answers during live calls; Salesloft or Outreach suit teams that want conversation intelligence inside their engagement platform; Chorus suits ZoomInfo customers; and Salesforce Conversation Intelligence suits Salesforce-first teams.

Is there a cheaper alternative to Gong?

Gong does not publish prices; its pricing page describes a per-user license plus a platform fee. Proshort, Avoma, Sybill, Fireflies.ai and Salesforce publish pricing, which makes cost easier to compare. Proshort is $75 per rep per month plus $3 per Aria Live call hour on the calls you choose.

Which Gong alternatives help reps during the call?

Proshort, Salesloft, Outreach Kaia, Avoma and Fireflies.ai say on their own sites that reps get guidance while the call is happening. Proshort's Aria is private: only the rep sees the answers, and they come from your own battlecards, docs and won calls with the source shown.

Can I move my Gong recordings to another tool?

Usually, yes, but confirm it in writing before you sign. Proshort migrates existing Gong, Chorus or Fireflies recordings during onboarding. Check that deal, account and participant metadata come across, not only the audio and transcript.

What happened to Clari Copilot and Wingman?

Wingman became Clari Copilot, part of Clari. Clari then merged with Salesloft, a deal completed in December 2025, and Clari Copilot now redirects to Salesloft Conversation Intelligence. Only Clari Forecast keeps the Clari name.
