Gong raised prices 56% in two years.
Here are five alternatives mid-market teams are actually adopting.

From $15/seat/mo to $120/seat+/mo. If your bill doubled and you weren't warned — it's time to see what's actually out there.

TL;DR — Five tools, one verdict each
Glean
Best post-call execution at mid-market price
$49/mo locked
Sybill
Best AI summaries, but $79/mo adds up fast
$19–79/user/mo
Fireflies
Transcripts-first, lighter on signal extraction
$10–29/user/mo
Chorus
Solid for large ZoomInfo-heavy RevOps teams
~$8K+/yr base
Avoma
Meeting assistant blend, less specialized
$19–79/user/mo
#1
Glean
#1 Pick
$49/mo flat — no per-seat pricing, locked for life
Strengths
  • Signal extraction engine pulls budget, competitor mentions, decision-maker status, timeline, pricing, and objections from every call
  • AI email drafts generated automatically — personalized, not templated, in 8 minutes
  • Slack alerts when follow-ups are ready
  • Waitlist + demo capture built in
  • No platform fees, no per-seat model, no enterprise minimum
Weaknesses
  • Newer product (2024), smaller review base than Gong
  • No real-time call joining yet (on roadmap)
  • No native CRM sync yet (roadmap Q3)
#2
Sybill
~$790/user/yr
$19–79/user/mo — Business plan needed for real AI features
Strengths
  • Magic Summaries: accurate, arrive in minutes, speak rep terminology
  • CRM autofill across 30+ fields — reps skip manual data entry
  • AI follow-up emails in rep's writing style, 1-click send
  • Pre-meeting briefs pull CRM, email history, past call context
  • Ask Sybill: ChatGPT-style answers from your pipeline data
Weaknesses
  • Business plan at $79/user/mo adds up fast (10 reps = $9,480/yr)
  • No pipeline forecasting — deal analytics layer is thin
  • Call classification accuracy issues (internal vs sales calls)
  • AI still requires manual verification for nuanced insights
#3
Fireflies
$10–29/user/mo
$10/user/mo Pro entry point — Business plan needed for real analytics
Strengths
  • Unlimited transcription on all paid plans
  • Lowest entry point in the category ($10/user/mo)
  • Business plan adds Salesforce/HubSpot sync + conversation analytics
  • AskFred AI chatbot for cross-meeting search
  • Strong integration ecosystem
Weaknesses
  • AI credits system nickel-and-dimes advanced features
  • Summary quality drops on multi-topic or interrupted calls
  • No follow-up automation — tasks stay manual after the call
  • Bot joins as visible participant (privacy concern for some clients)
  • Processing lag on calls over 1 hour (10–15 min delays)
#4
Chorus (ZoomInfo)
Enterprise only
~$8K+/yr base — 3-seat minimum, full stack often $40K–$100K+/yr
Strengths
  • ZoomInfo contact/company data enrichment pulls live context on call participants
  • 14 patents in machine learning for conversation analysis
  • Deal intelligence tracks patterns across entire pipeline
  • Strong coaching tools: talk ratios, filler words, topic tagging
  • 40+ integrations including Salesforce
Weaknesses
  • Base fee alone is $8K+/yr (3-seat minimum)
  • Per-seat add-ons at ~$1,200/seat — full stack runs $40K–100K+ annually
  • ZoomInfo bundle push from sales can inflate total cost by $15–40K
  • 2–3 month deployment time
  • Transcription accuracy issues reported by users
  • Pricing not public — enterprise quote negotiation required
#5
Avoma
$19–79/user/mo
$19/user/mo AI Meeting Assistant entry point — Revenue Intelligence at $79/user/mo
Strengths
  • Built-in scheduling + lead routing replaces Calendly for early-stage teams
  • AI Meeting Assistant at $19/user/mo is the lowest-tier entry point
  • Revenue Intelligence adds MEDDIC/SPICED/Sandler adherence tracking
  • 60+ language transcription
  • 14-day free trial
Weaknesses
  • CRM sync runs on 60+ minute delay — not suited for same-day pipeline reviews
  • Call classification issues (bot sometimes fails to join meetings)
  • ROI is hard to quantify — improves productivity but doesn't tie to closed revenue
  • Feature overlap with lighter tools at lower price points

FAQ

It depends on team size and what you want to optimize. For 5–50 person outbound teams who want signal extraction + automated follow-up emails, Glean wins on price and execution depth. If you primarily want AI summaries and already have a CRM workflow, Sybill is solid. Fireflies is the right pick if transcription and meeting search are all you need — and budget is tight. Chorus and Avoma are better suited to larger teams already embedded in enterprise RevOps workflows.
Gong's revenue model depends on expansion revenue from existing customers, and as they've grown their enterprise install base they've progressively raised per-seat pricing. With 6,000+ enterprise customers and a near-monopoly on revenue intelligence, they have pricing leverage. There's no functional reason mid-market teams should pay $120K+/yr for what Glean delivers at $49/mo.
Native Salesforce and HubSpot connectors are on our roadmap for Q3. In the meantime, Glean generates a structured CRM payload (JSON) after every call that you can push via Zapier or a webhook in about 15 minutes. Founding members get early access and direct input on the field mapping when native connectors launch.
Six signal categories: budget confirmation, competitor mentions, decision-maker status, timeline indicators, pricing discussions, and objections. Each signal is stored, surfaced in a Slack alert, and included in the context of the AI-generated follow-up email — all within 8 minutes of the call ending.
Setup takes under 10 minutes. Connect your Zoom or Google Meet webhook, point it to Glean, add your Slack workspace, and the next call produces signals + email drafts automatically. No IT, no SSO, no multi-week onboarding. Export your Gong data and we'll help you think through the migration — founding members can reach out for a 15-minute onboarding call.
Yes. Founding members pay $49/mo and that rate never changes — not when we add features, not when we raise prices for new customers. Your plan stays locked for as long as you keep your subscription active. If you cancel and come back later, you'd be on whatever the current pricing is, so we recommend staying on if you're happy.
