Where they pull apart

Gong

Stands out: Captures calls from web meetings, dialers and phones into one deal timeline, with a hosted MCP server for AI assistants.

Watch out: No public seat price. The platform fee scales with how many users you support. Built for GTM teams, not recruiting ops.

Not the right fit for

  • SMBs that need a published per-seat checkout
  • Recruiting teams looking for an ATS or sourcing tool

Salesloft

Stands out: Cadences, dialer, conversation intelligence and Clari forecasting on one platform, with an MCP server for Claude and ChatGPT.

Watch out: No public seat price or self-serve checkout. Expect an annual contract and an implementation project.
