UpdateAI vs. Gong? Great question! Sure, we’re biased towards UpdateAI, but here’s why B2B leaders are making the switch to UpdateAI as the best Gong alternative.
Gong and UpdateAI both record your meetings with customers to help you automate note-taking, capture and share the voice of the customer, and train your team on best practices.
The key difference is that Gong is a tool heavily geared towards Sales teams (thus, the idea of a “Gong”), and was built first and foremost to help Sales managers listen in on the talk tracks of their team members.

“Gong helps you listen to your team. UpdateAI helps you listen to your
customers.”
David Karp, CCO, DISQO
Both products have the goal of helping you become more profitable and “do more with less,” but from there, the vision and execution of Gong and UpdateAI are very different.
Gong is about optimizing Sales team management, revenue predictability, and pipeline growth. And we at UpdateAI agree: Gong is great, for sales.
While Sales teams love using UpdateAI for talking to prospects, UpdateAI is more focused on optimizing around the portfolio of your existing customer base.
We believe that the daily conversations your Customer Success Managers, Account Managers, Product Marketers, and others have with your customers expose a trove of insight about your base that most often gets trapped at those front-lines.
We unlock those insights so that cross-functional teams can make better decisions and stay aligned at the meeting, customer account, and portfolio levels of your business.
In short,
Gong = Pipeline of prospects
UpdateAI = Portfolio of existing customers
