Attention
Call recording that writes back to the CRM and scores reps against your own qualification framework
As of 31 August 2026, Attention's pricing is not published; the vendor quotes on request. AI conversation intelligence for sales teams that automatically fills CRM fields from what was said on the call. Softwr lists it under Sales Enablement. Attention is made by Attention Technologies Inc., available on Web, API.
Overview
What Attention does
Attention records and transcribes sales calls across Zoom, Google Meet and Microsoft Teams in more than a hundred languages, then acts on them. Its central capability is CRM auto-update: it populates Salesforce or HubSpot fields directly from call content, so pipeline data reflects what was actually said rather than what a representative remembered to type. Around that sit AI coaching scorecards that grade calls against MEDDIC, BANT or a custom framework, automatic follow-up email drafting, natural-language querying of pipeline data, and a Slack agent that posts call briefs and competitor analysis. The commercial logic is straightforward: Gong and Chorus established the category and are priced accordingly, and Attention positions as the alternative that puts the automation ahead of the analytics library. It raised a 30 million USD Series B in mid-2026 led by RTP Global with Aglae Ventures, Eniac, Alven and Linea participating, reporting four times year-on-year revenue growth and more than twenty million agent actions a month. That funding matters to a buyer for one reason: it makes a three-year commitment to a company founded in 2021 defensible in procurement. Buyers are mid-market sales organisations, roughly sixty per cent of its reviewer base, pushing upmarket into enterprise. Named customers include BambooHR, Preply, Abridge, Scale and Engine. The main friction is that unlike self-serve rivals such as Avoma or Fireflies, there is no published pricing and no self-serve tier, so even a ten-seat evaluation goes through a sales conversation.
What people use it for
- A sales organisation whose forecast is unreliable because representatives do not update MEDDIC fields after calls, and which wants those fields written automatically
- A sales manager who needs every call scored against the same qualification rubric rather than spot-checking a handful per rep per month
- A revenue operations lead consolidating call recording, coaching and CRM hygiene into one contract instead of three tools
- A team that wants call intelligence exposed to internal AI agents through MCP rather than trapped inside a vendor dashboard
The honest half
Where it falls short
Concrete and checkable, so you can decide whether any of them matter to you. This is the half of a review a vendor will not write about 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.

Questions people ask
Each answer names the page it came from, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
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.
Is pricing published?
No. It is sales-quoted on annual contracts, with no self-serve tier, unlike Avoma or Fireflies.
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.
Which CRMs does it write to?
Salesforce and HubSpot are the primary supported systems, with other CRMs addressed through its open API.
