Gong alternatives for live call coaching
Gong records and analyzes calls so teams can review them after the fact 12. Some sellers also want help while the buyer is still talking. These tools offer live help during the call, and a few also record.
When to keep Gong
If your managers coach from a shared call library, track rep trends or run forecasts in Gong, keep it 1213. Ghost and the other desktop tools below do not replace that. Several can run next to it.
1. Ghost
The AI sales coach that knows your product. Answers the buyer's technical questions from your docs and competitor pages, with sources. Flags objections and competitor mentions. Coaches to MEDDICC or BANT during the call. No bot, nothing recorded, audio never saved. Free, Pro $19/month, Team $29/person/month.
Best for: the seller on the call who needs the right answer fast. Not the best fit: replacing a call recorder or manager dashboards.
2. Salesloft
Salesloft's conversation intelligence records and analyzes every sales call, and says "Battlecards surface in real time on every call" 21. Pricing is contact sales 22.
Best for: teams that want sales engagement and call intelligence from one vendor.
3. Outreach Kaia
Kaia gives live transcription and content cards for competitor, product and pricing info, and joins Zoom or Teams meetings as an assistant 18. Pricing is contact sales 20.
Best for: Outreach customers.
4. Avoma
Avoma pairs meeting recording with real-time answer cards and live MEDDIC, BANT and SPIN guidance 2425. It lists prices per recorder seat, from $19 a month billed annually 23.
Best for: teams that want a Gong-style recorder and live guidance with listed prices.
5. Cluely
Cluely is a desktop app that gives real-time answers during meetings with no bot 1. Its enterprise plan adds a knowledge base, CRM write-back and admin analytics 34. Pro is $19.99 a month 2.
Best for: teams that want a bot-free desktop assistant with CRM write-back.
