FAQ

Common questions

Is Gong really that expensive?

Yes. Gong's bundled pricing is approximately $240-250/user/month, plus a platform fee of $5,000-50,000 depending on team size, plus implementation fees around $15,000. For a 10-person team, first-year costs can exceed $50,000.

How does Serret's call intelligence compare to Gong's?

Gong is the gold standard for post-call conversation intelligence. Serret's approach is different: we focus on pre-call AI briefings (500ms context before each call) and a live call companion, while offering basic post-call analysis. If deep post-call analytics are critical, Gong is stronger in that specific area.

Does Serret have sales engagement features that Gong doesn't?

Yes. Serret Cadence includes multi-channel cadences, email sequences, and task management — features Gong doesn't offer. Gong focuses purely on intelligence and analytics.

Can I use Serret alongside Gong?

Yes. Some teams use Serret Cadence for engagement and Gong for deep conversation intelligence. However, for most teams, Serret's built-in AI and analytics are sufficient and save significant cost.
