Gong Tells You Why You Lost the Call — After It Ends.
Clozo Writes the Script Before You Dial.

Gong publishes no pricing — every quote is custom-negotiated. Based on verified third-party data, Gong bills in three layers: a platform/access fee reported at $5,000–$50,000 per year (fixed, regardless of team size), a per-user license (~$1,300–$1,600/user/year, with bundled Core + Engage + Forecast often quoted around $240–$250/user/month), and a one-time professional-services onboarding fee reported to start around $7,500 and scale higher with team size. A 10-person team is reported to land near $28,500 in year one for Gong alone. Annual commitments are standard and there is no free trial.

Gong has no native CRM, so you need Salesforce ($100–$175/user/month) or HubSpot ($90–$150/user/month) on top. For a 10-person team, the total stack cost is approximately $49,500/year or more when combining Gong + Salesforce. That does not include the $7,500 onboarding or any additional dialer/outreach tools. Clozo Scaler includes a full CRM, power dialer, email marketing, social media marketing, sales sequences, and outreach across every channel your customers use — calls, texts, WhatsApp, email, and social — for $23,880/year, a savings of $25,620/year (52%).

No. Gong provides post-mortem analysis only — your reps review call recordings and AI insights after the call ends. By that point, the deal may already be lost. Clozo puts the script on screen before your rep dials: an opening written for that exact prospect at that exact pipeline stage, the objections they are most likely to raise with your rebuttal already written, and the battlecard for the competitor on the deal. It regenerates automatically after every recorded call, so the next conversation starts smarter than the last.

No. Clozo offers month-to-month billing with no multi-year commitment. Pay annually and get 2 months free, but there is no lock-in — cancel anytime with no cancellation penalty or exit fee (and your 30-day free trial lets you evaluate everything before any charge). Most SaaS contracts put your data on a clock after you cancel — a retention window, an export tier, or credits to download your own contacts. We don't do any of that: if you cancel or let a subscription lapse, your workspace drops to the permanent Free plan instead of locking you out, and nothing is deleted.

Yes. Clozo is self-serve and can be set up in under one hour with no implementation consultants needed. Since Clozo includes a built-in CRM, you can import your contacts, companies and activity history directly, with AI column mapping and duplicate merging. Your team can start using Clozo immediately while running it alongside Gong during a transition period. For comparison, Gong requires professional onboarding reported to start around $7,500, and users report a steep learning curve.

Yes — and it goes further. Because everything lives in one platform, Clozo's AI sees all your data (calls, emails, deals, pipeline, engagement), so it answers questions in plain English over your live pipeline, re-scores the deal the moment a call finishes transcribing, drafts your follow-ups, and builds dashboards on request. Under the hood that spans natural language to SQL, deal scoring (0–100), call analysis, deal risk signals, weighted-pipeline revenue forecasting computed in SQL, AI drafting, and AI content for sales scripts, hooks, competitor battlecards and social captions. The full assistant is un-gated on every plan, including the permanent Free plan; deal scoring adds at Launcher, and forecasting and AI roleplay coaching at Scaler. Gong's AI is deep but only sees its own slice — post-call conversation intelligence.

Clozo reaches prospects by phone, SMS, WhatsApp, email, and replies to Facebook and Instagram comments — and Unified Engagement pulls every call, text, WhatsApp message, live chat, social comment and email you send into a single timeline per contact. You also publish and schedule to LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube from one calendar. Gong Engage limits outreach to email, calls, and LinkedIn — no WhatsApp, no native SMS, no multi-platform social publishing. And a dialer only comes with the separately-priced Gong Engage module, not the core intelligence product.

Most SaaS contracts put your data on a clock after you cancel — a retention window, an export tier, or credits to download your own contacts. We don't do any of that. If you cancel or let a subscription lapse, your Clozo workspace drops to the permanent Free plan instead of locking you out, and nothing is deleted. Come back in 6 months or 2 years — everything is exactly where you left it. Your leads export to CSV free on every plan, and full export of calls, messages, social, activities and invoices in CSV or JSON is on Scaler and above, with no export fees.

Clozo is better for teams that want one platform instead of a point tool: it bundles the CRM, cloud phone and dialer, conversation intelligence, email, and social that you'd otherwise buy alongside Gong. Compare them feature by feature above and start a 30-day free trial to decide for yourself.

Yes — for most teams Clozo replaces Gong and the extra tools you run next to it, because the CRM, phone, dialer, intelligence, and outreach are all built in. You can import your data in minutes and run both side by side during the switch.

For most teams, yes — because Clozo's $79–$999/user/month includes the CRM, phone, dialer, email, and social that cost extra alongside Gong. See the full cost breakdown above; there are no platform fees, and paying annually gets you 2 months free.

Gong doesn't publish pricing; based on verified third-party data it runs a platform fee plus roughly $1,360–$1,600 per user per year, with no free trial and multi-year contracts. A 10-person team commonly pays around $28,500/year for Gong alone, before adding a CRM.

No. Gong is conversation intelligence — it has no native CRM, and its dialer comes only via the separately-priced Gong Engage add-on. Clozo includes a full CRM and a power dialer on every paid plan.

The best Gong alternative depends on your need, but teams that want conversation intelligence plus a CRM, dialer, and outreach in one platform choose Clozo — it also puts an AI-written script and objection cards on screen before the rep dials, which Gong (post-call only) doesn't offer.
