Which plan to pickStart 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.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.
