Which plan to pickRun 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.Use the free plan to check the data covers your market before paying. Starter suits one rep who mainly needs emails; if you need lots of phone numbers, work out the credits first, since each one costs 5. Yearly credits are given upfront and reset at the end of the year, while monthly plans roll unused credits over.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.
