The short version
- Each has a real cost: Avoma conversation Intelligence, the capability most buyers actually want, is a 29 US dollar per seat add-on rather than part of the plan, so the real cost of a working sales configuration is at least 53 per user per month against a 19 headline.; Default pricing is not published and the reported structure is a monthly platform fee before any seats, so a small team pays a meaningful minimum regardless of volume and the tool only makes economic sense at some scale.
- They diverge on capability: Avoma covers AI meeting assistant, Default covers Inbound routing.
- 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.
Avoma
- Conversation Intelligence, the capability most buyers actually want, is a 29 US dollar per seat add-on rather than part of the plan, so the real cost of a working sales configuration is at least 53 per user per month against a 19 headline.
- Seat ceilings are baked into tiers, with Startup capped at 25 seats and Organization at 100, so growth forces a plan change for headcount reasons alone rather than feature reasons.
- Conversation intelligence on the Organization tier is explicitly limited, meaning teams discover which parts are missing after they have committed to an annual contract.
- Deal and forecast analytics are considerably shallower than dedicated revenue intelligence platforms, so an organisation that grows into serious pipeline inspection will replace the add-on rather than expand it.
- Summary quality depends on the note template being maintained, and teams that never configure templates get generic recaps that nobody reads, which quietly turns the subscription into an expensive transcript archive.
Default
- Pricing is not published and the reported structure is a monthly platform fee before any seats, so a small team pays a meaningful minimum regardless of volume and the tool only makes economic sense at some scale.
- Seats are split into user seats and routing seats at different prices, which makes headcount planning awkward and means an organisation can be surprised by which roles turn out to need the expensive kind.
- Enrichment is credit metered, so cost rises with inbound volume exactly when the business is doing well, and a spike in form fills is also a spike in the bill.
- Consolidating routing, enrichment, scoring and scheduling into one vendor puts a single point of failure between a demo request and a sales representative, which is the highest value path in the business.
- The vendor offers budget to buy out incumbent contracts, which is effective marketing but tells you switching costs in this category are high in both directions, including out of Default later.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages
Avoma: Is 19 US dollars the real price?
Only for the base meeting assistant on annual billing. Adding Conversation Intelligence takes it to 53 per user per month, and Revenue Intelligence takes it to 82.
Default: What does Default replace?
Typically a scheduler, a lead routing tool, an enrichment provider and part of a workflow automation layer.
Avoma: Do I pay for people who only watch recordings?
No. Viewers and collaborators are free. Paid seats are only required for users whose own meetings are recorded.
Default: Is pricing published?
No. It is quoted, and reported structures involve a monthly platform fee plus separate user and routing seats plus metered enrichment credits.
Avoma: Does it replace my scheduling tool?
For most teams, yes. Group and round-robin booking arrive on the Organization tier; Startup includes 1:1 links only.
Default: Does it replace the CRM?
No. It sits in front of the CRM, routing and enriching records and keeping them clean, and it writes to Salesforce or HubSpot.
Avoma: Is it a Gong replacement?
Not at the enterprise end. Avoma covers the common conversation intelligence use cases at a fraction of the price but does not match Gong on deal analytics or coaching depth.
Default: Is it worth it for a small team?
Rarely. The platform fee before seats means the economics work when you are retiring several existing subscriptions.
