Gong
Custom (per-user license + platform fee)
BoostUp starts at Contact for pricing, the lowest entry point in this comparison. Gong sits at Custom (per-user license + platform fee). Total cost of ownership depends on team size, integration depth, and whether the tool requires Salesforce Data Cloud (~$108K/year) as a prerequisite. The "cheapest" tool by entry price is not always cheapest by year two.

Gong
API integration
BoostUp
External tool
Gong integrates via API. That means a separate vendor environment, a separate auth flow, and a data-sync layer to monitor. The flexibility is real (multi-CRM, multi-tool) but so is the operational overhead. BoostUp is fully external; Salesforce data is synced or read-only-mirrored rather than live. Choose this path when the tool's primary value is its non-Salesforce functionality (calls, emails, content generation) and Salesforce is a downstream destination.
