Where each one falls short

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

Gong

  • Pricing not published; custom quotes and high platform fees make budget forecasting difficult
  • Built for sales calls only; limited contact center and multi-channel conversation coverage
  • Forecasting and Engage modules use keyword-based analysis with 20-30 minute processing delay, not generative AI
  • Conversation analysis cannot capture internal buyer meetings or decision-making discussions

Less Annoying CRM

  • There is no free tier, only a single $15 per user per month price
  • File storage is capped at 25 GB per user
  • The vendor advises staying below 50,000 total contacts, so very large databases sit outside the intended use even though no hard limit is enforced
