| Attribute | Decagon | Hyperbound | Pipedrive |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plans | EnterpriseOur pick Custom Large companies with high support volume. | Free Free Trying AI role-play with a few reps. | Lite $14/seat/mo billed yearly, or $24 monthly One person who just needs a pipeline and reminders. |
PracticeOur pick Custom per user Teams that want reps rehearsing on AI. | GrowthOur pick $39/seat/mo billed yearly, or $49 monthly Small teams who live in their inbox. | ||
Perform Custom per user Teams that also want real calls scored and coached. | Premium $59/seat/mo billed yearly, or $79 monthly Teams that want to capture and score leads too. | ||
Ultimate $79/seat/mo billed yearly, or $99 monthly Bigger teams that need the highest limits and tighter security. | |||
| Which plan to pick | There's only one way to buy it: book a demo and get a custom quote. It only makes sense once you handle tens of thousands of support conversations 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. | Growth is the plan most small teams should start on, because Lite has no proper email sync or automations. Move to Premium if you want web forms and lead scoring without paying for add-ons. Prices exclude tax and vary by country. |
