Gauge never auto-joins your meetings. We don't train on your audio. Your data is GDPR-ready and yours to delete. Gong requires a bot in the room — we don't. You upload the recording, you stay in control.
Gong doesn't publish pricing, so these are reported ranges from public cost analyses (Revenue.io's "What does Gong actually cost" and TechnologyInSales, both 2026). Foundations is reported at $1,300–$1,600/user/yr, plus a platform fee of $5,000–$15,000+/yr, plus onboarding. G2's most common complaint in negative reviews is cost. If you're in an active Gong contract, your actual number is in your order form — the ranges are what reviewers report.
No — and we won't pretend otherwise. Gong's forecasts, deal risk, and live coaching are genuinely best-in-class for enterprise RevOps. Gauge ships BANT/MEDDIC extraction, a 0–100 call score, action items, and CRM sync at $29/mo flat. If you need Gong-scale revenue analytics, Gong is the right call. If you need sales-grade extraction for a small team, we win on everything that matters at your stage.
It's reported, not official. Multiple public cost analyses (Revenue.io, 2026) report that Gong's March 2025 restructuring — unbundling Forecast, Engage, Enable, and Data Cloud into paid add-ons — raised effective costs by 25–56% for existing customers since 2023. The G2 review pattern supports it: forced bundling and aggressive add-on pushes are common complaints in negative reviews.
No. Gong is built around live capture through its meeting integrations (reported). Gauge is upload-only — you record with whatever you already use, upload the file, and we analyze it. No bot, no consent dialog in front of your prospect, nothing in the room.
Yes — export audio from Gong, upload to Gauge. We accept MP3, WAV, M4A, WebM. For bulk migration, email hello@usegauge.com.
Free tier — 300 minutes a month. No credit card. No bot in your meeting.
