Can Woz replace Gong completely?

It depends on your needs. If your primary goal is real-time coaching to improve rep performance during live calls, Woz is purpose-built for that. Gong excels at post-call analytics, deal intelligence, and team-level forecasting. Many teams use Woz for the live call and Gong for the post-call analysis. But for individual reps and small teams, Woz covers the full workflow.

Is Woz as accurate as Gong for transcription?

Yes. Woz uses the same class of speech-to-text models as Gong, running in real-time. The key difference is that Woz transcribes locally on your device, so your audio never leaves your machine. Accuracy is comparable at 95%+ for English.

Why is Woz so much cheaper than Gong?

Woz's local-first architecture means we don't pay for cloud storage of your recordings, massive GPU clusters for batch processing, or complex multi-tenant infrastructure. Our costs are fundamentally lower, so our pricing can be too. We pass the savings to you.

Does Gong offer real-time coaching now?

Gong has introduced some live features, but their core architecture is built around post-call analysis. Woz was designed from day one for real-time coaching with sub-2-second response times. The architectural difference means Woz can detect buying signals and suggest responses while the conversation is still happening.

Can I use Woz if my company already uses Gong?

Absolutely. Woz runs independently as a desktop app. There's no conflict with Gong since Woz captures audio locally from your system. Think of it as adding a real-time coaching layer on top of whatever tools your company already uses.

What about Gong's deal intelligence and forecasting?

Gong's deal intelligence suite (pipeline forecasting, deal boards, activity tracking) is something Woz doesn't replicate. If those features are critical for your sales ops team, Gong may be the better choice for that specific use case. Woz focuses on making each individual call better through live coaching.
