Pricing comparison
Numi
Gong
Gong pricing based on community reports and public disclosures, June 2026. Prices in USD. Actual pricing varies by contract size.
Who should choose Numi
- B2B sales teams in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland who need accurate German transcription and evidence-backed call scoring at a fraction of Gong's cost, with no platform fee.
- Teams operating under GDPR who need EU-hosted infrastructure with a published DPA and subprocessor list before they can sign any vendor contract.
- Sales managers who want to coach from specific, cited moments in a call transcript, not from black-box deal risk scores or pipeline predictions that can't be traced back to what was actually said.
Who should choose Gong
- Large Salesforce-native enterprise teams (typically 500+ seats) that need revenue forecasting alongside call intelligence, with deep CRM signal integration as the primary use case.
- Organizations that require a well-established brand with a large customer base, analyst recognition, and a long reference list, and where the $5-50k platform fee fits inside an existing enterprise software budget.
- US or global enterprise sales orgs where GDPR and EU data residency are not hard requirements, and where English is the dominant selling language across the entire team.
Bottom line
Gong is the market leader for a reason: broad CRM integrations, a large dataset of sales call benchmarks, and deep revenue forecasting. The tradeoff for DACH teams is real: US data hosting, no GDPR-native architecture, and pricing that starts at six figures annually once the platform fee is included. Numi is not trying to replicate Gong's full revenue intelligence stack. It focuses on what DACH sales managers actually need: accurate German transcription, call scoring grounded in cited transcript evidence, and EU-hosted Frankfurt infrastructure that satisfies procurement and legal without a contract fight.
