Which plan to pickStart free: it's good enough for a founder or a team of three to run their contacts and deals. Plus suits a small team that just needs more room. Go Pro once you want call recording, sequences or proper reporting, and use the 14-day Pro trial to check it's worth it.Start pay as you go: there's no monthly fee and you get free credits to test. Move to Build only when you're making enough calls that the lower per-minute rate covers the $299 fee, which is roughly 15,000 minutes a month.Run the free role-plays with two or three reps first. If they keep using them, Practice covers rehearsal; only pay for Perform if you do not already have Gong or another call recorder.
