Which plan to pickThere's only a custom quote. Ask whether you'll be charged per conversation or per resolution, since per-conversation pricing charges you even when the agent doesn't solve the problem.Start with the core licence for reps who run customer calls and add Forecast or Engage only once the team uses Gong daily. Push back on bundles and multi-year terms during negotiation.Individuals should take Pro on the yearly plan; it is cheap and ten sessions a week is plenty. Teams wanting their own sales scenarios need Business.
