| Which plan to pick | 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. | Try Starter free for 14 days and connect your real inbox and calendar, because the self-filling records are the whole point. Only move to Pro once you need sequences and more than 3 people. Extra capture seats cost $200 a month each, billed yearly. | 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. |
