Scriptal vs Gong
Gong is an enterprise revenue intelligence platform. Scriptal is a transcript library. They solve different problems at very different price points.
Let's Be Honest
Gong is more powerful
Gong records calls in real-time, integrates with your CRM, provides coaching insights, forecasts deals, and has an army of engineers building new features. It's a comprehensive revenue intelligence platform used by enterprise sales teams.
Gong is also expensive
Gong pricing starts around $100/user/month with annual contracts. For a 10-person sales team, you're looking at $12,000-16,000/year minimum. Plus implementation, training, and the overhead of managing another enterprise tool.
Most people don't need Gong
If you're a small team, a freelancer, a researcher, or anyone who just has a bunch of transcripts you can't search—you don't need real-time recording, CRM sync, or deal forecasting. You need a place to put your transcripts and find things in them.
