The short version

  • Only Aligned has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Aligned bidirectional CRM sync is restricted to the unpublished Enterprise tier, so the single capability that makes room engagement useful to forecasting cannot be bought at a published price and requires a sales negotiation.; Attention there is no published pricing and no self-serve tier, so even a small team must go through a sales cycle to get a number, which is a real disadvantage against Avoma and Fireflies where you can start on a card the same afternoon.
  • They diverge on capability: Aligned covers Digital sales rooms, Attention covers Call recording and transcription.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Aligned

  • Bidirectional CRM sync is restricted to the unpublished Enterprise tier, so the single capability that makes room engagement useful to forecasting cannot be bought at a published price and requires a sales negotiation.
  • Digital sales rooms only work if buyers use them, and in conservative industries where procurement insists on email and attachments the room becomes an extra place the seller has to maintain rather than a replacement for anything.
  • The free Starter tier is capped at four rooms per seat, which a working account executive exhausts within a month, so it functions as an evaluation mechanism rather than a usable free plan.
  • SSO, multiple team workspaces and custom domain all sit on Enterprise, meaning any organisation with a standard security review will be pushed off the published pricing regardless of team size.
  • The category is crowded and partly being absorbed into adjacent products, with proposal tools, CRMs and content platforms all adding room-style buyer portals, so a standalone tool carries real risk of becoming a feature you already pay for elsewhere.

Attention

  • There is no published pricing and no self-serve tier, so even a small team must go through a sales cycle to get a number, which is a real disadvantage against Avoma and Fireflies where you can start on a card the same afternoon.
  • Automatic CRM writeback is only as good as your field hygiene: if picklists, stage definitions and custom fields are inconsistent, the tool will confidently populate them wrongly and the errors are harder to spot than blank fields were.
  • The company was founded in 2021 and remains small against Gong and Chorus, so the library of benchmark data, published methodology and partner ecosystem that enterprises often buy alongside conversation intelligence is not comparable.
  • There is no standalone public documentation or help portal, which slows self-service troubleshooting and makes it harder for a technical evaluator to assess API depth before committing.
  • No native mobile application or browser extension has been confirmed, so field representatives who work primarily from a phone between meetings have a weaker experience than the desktop-first design assumes.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

Aligned: Is there really a free plan?

Yes, Starter is free with four rooms per seat and room analytics, though the room cap makes it an evaluation tier rather than a long-term option for a working seller.

Attention: What does Attention actually automate that Gong does not?

Its headline capability is writing back to CRM fields from call content, including custom qualification fields, rather than primarily surfacing calls for later review.

Aligned: What does the paid version cost?

Basic is 29 USD per seat per month billed annually or 35 monthly; Pro is 49 annually or 60 monthly. Enterprise is quoted.

Attention: Is pricing published?

No. It is sales-quoted on annual contracts, with no self-serve tier, unlike Avoma or Fireflies.

Aligned: Can I sync room activity into Salesforce?

Bidirectional CRM sync is an Enterprise-only feature, so it is not available on any published tier.

Attention: Is the company financially stable?

It raised a 30 million USD Series B in mid-2026 led by RTP Global, and reports four times year-on-year revenue growth, which is usually sufficient for enterprise vendor review.

Aligned: Is there a discount for small companies?

Aligned lists a startup plan for companies with fewer than thirty employees, though the price for it is not published.

Attention: Which CRMs does it write to?

Salesforce and HubSpot are the primary supported systems, with other CRMs addressed through its open API.
